[. . . ] CAUTION: Empty the dust box before collected sawdust level reaches the cylinder part. The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle. When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection. NOTE: If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed. WARNING: It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop. CAUTION: When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top surface level of the turn base. Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK. Red part appears when lower fences are on the inside and it does not appear when lower fences are on the outside. Upper fences can be moved to the inside and outside by loosening the levers, and can be removed. Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are upper and lower fences) adjustment WARNING: Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper and lower fences are secured firmly. Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the tool, especially blade, contacts the upper and lower fences when lowering and raising the handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way at the lowest position. In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper fences position to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, and make sure that no part of the tool, especially blade, contacts the lower and upper fences when lowering and raising the handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way at the lowest position. Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw turned off and check clearance between fences and moving parts. Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by tightening the levers. When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget to return the upper fences to the original position and secure it. Lower fences can be moved to the inside and outside by loosening the clamping screws. The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. [. . . ] Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps. Miter saw blades Combination Crosscutting Fine cross cuts After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service center for repair. [. . . ]
