Blade installing lever 002734 Anti-splintering device For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can be used. To install the anti-splintering device, move the base all the way forward and fit it into the base from the back of base. NOTE: • The anti-splintering device cannot be used when making bevel cuts. 1 2 1. Base 2. Anti-splintering device 1 2 1 2 Screw 2. Plastic base plate 002736 Plastic base plate (optional accessory) Use the plastic base plate when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive surfaces from damage. To replace the base plate, remove the four screws. 1 2 3 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Rip fence (Guide rule) 002738 Rip fence (optional accessory) When cutting widths of under 150 mm (5 - 29/32”) repeatedly, use of the rip fence (guide rule) will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To install it, loosen the bolt on the front of the base. Slip in the rip fence and secure the bolt. 1 2 3 1. Threaded knob 2. Circular guide 3. Pin 002739 Circular guide (optional accessory) Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth cutting of circles under 200 mm (7 - 7/8”) in radius. Insert the pin through the center hole and secure it with the threaded knob. Move the base of the tool forward fully. Then install the circular guide on the base in the same manner as the rip fence (guide rule). 002740 Vacuum head (optional accessory) The vacuum head is recommended to perform clean cutting operations. Install the plastic cover on the tool by fitting it into the notches in the tool. 1 2 3 1. Notches 2. Base 3. Plastic cover 1 2 1 2 Vacuum head 2. Base 002741 To attach the vacuum head on the tool, insert the hooks of the vacuum head into the hole in the base. The vacuum head can be installed on either left or right side of the base. Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the vacuum head. 002742 OPERATION CAUTION: • Always hold the base flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury. • Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted cutting surface and blade breakage. 002745 Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line. NOTE: • If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. 1 2 1. Cutting line 2.

Graduation 002754 Bevel cutting CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before tilting the base. With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0° and 45° (left or right). Loosen the base securing lever and move the base so that the dent mark in the motor housing is aligned with the slot in the base. 002755 Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The edge of the motor housing indicates the bevel angle by graduations. Then tighten the base securing lever to secure the base. NOTE: • Always remove the plastic cover (chip shield) from the tool when you make bevel cuts using an optional rip fence (guide rule) or circular guide. Front flush cuts Loosen the base securing lever and slide the base all the way back. Then tighten the base securing lever to secure the base. Cutouts Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B. 002765 A) Boring a starting hole For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm (1/2”) or more in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut. 002759 1 1. Starting hole 002766 002766 002770 MAINTENANCE B) Plunge cutting You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows. (1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. (2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly. (3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface. (4) Complete the cut in the normal manner. Finishing edges To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges. Metal cutting Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant. CA...
