Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to securethe center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that theblade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock hasreleased spindle before making cut.Dust bag123001861The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations cleanand dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit itonto the dust nozzle.When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dustbag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty thedust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to removeparticles adhering to the insides which might hamperfurther collection.NOTE:If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw,more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.Securing workpieceWARNING:• It is extremely important to always secure theworkpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failureto do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/orthe workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONALINJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cuttingoperation, DO NOT raise the blade until the bladehas come to a complete stop.CAUTION:• When cutting long workpieces, use supports thatare as high as the top surface level of the turn base.Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/orhorizontal vise to secure the workpiece.Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece overits entire length to avoid blade pinch and possibleKICKBACK.1 2001549Sub-fence10017661. Sub-fence1. Support2. Turn base1. Dust nozzle2. Dust bag3. Fastener1. Spindle2. Flange3.
