GENERAL SAFETY RULES(For All Tools)WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failureto follow all instructions listed below, may result in electricshock, fire and/or serious personal injury.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSREAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

WORK AREA1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas inviteaccidents.2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which mayignite the dust or fumes.3. eep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.Distractions can cause you to loose control.ELECTRICAL SAFETY4. Double Insulated tools are equipped w i th a polarized plug (one blade is widerthan the other.) This plug wi ll f it in a polarized outlet only one way. If theplug does not f it fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,contact a qualified electrician t o install a polarized outlet. Do no t change

the plug in any way. Double insulation H eliminates the need for the threewire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.5. Avoid body contact wi th grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, rangesand refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body isgrounded.6. Don't expose power tools t o rain or we t conditions. Water entering a powertool will increase the risk of electric shock.7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plugfrom an outlet . Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk ofelectric shock.8. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked"W-A ' or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the riskof electric shock.PERSONAL SAFETY9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operatinga power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power toolsmay result in serious personal injury.

IO.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keepyour hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelryor long hair can be caught in moving parts.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure sw itch is of f before plugging in. Carryingtools wi th your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the swi tchon invites accidents.12. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench ora key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personalinjury.13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footingand balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skidsafety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriateconditions.TOOL USE AND CARE15. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece t oa stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstableand may lead to loss of control.16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct toolwill do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannotbe controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.18. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,changing accessories, or stor ing the tool. Such preventive safety measuresreduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Toolsare dangerous in the hands of untrained users.20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easierto control.21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, andany other condit ion that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have

the too l serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-tained tools.22. Use only accessories tha t are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardouswhen used on another tool.SERVICE23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Serviceor maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk ofinjury.24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow ins truc-tions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized partsor failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock

or injury.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removingthe blade.

*Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade and/or blade holder.Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.

To install the blade, loosen the bolt on theblade holder with the hex wrench.

Blade holder

With the blade teeth facing forward, insertthe blade into the blade holder as far as itwill go. Make sure that the back edge ofthe blade fits into the roller. Then tightenthe bolt to secure the blade.To remove the blade, follow the installationprocedures in revers.

Speed adjusting dialFor 4323 onlyThe tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 500 and 3,100 strokes per minute byturning the adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the directionof number 6; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Referto the table below to select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut. However, theappropriate speed may differ with the typeof thickness of the workpiece. In general,higher speeds will allow you to cut work- Speed adjusting dial

Loosen the bolt on the back of the tool basewith the hex wrench. Move the tool baseso that the bolt is positioned in the centerof the cross-shaped slot in the tool base.

Tilt the tool base until the desired bevelangle is obtained. The edge of the motorhousing indicates the bevel angle. Checkthe contact between the back edge of theblade and the roller, then tighten the bolt tosecure the tool base.

cutoutsCutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.A) Boring a starting hole: For internal cut-outs without a lead-in cut from an edge,pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm (1/2) or

more in diameter. Insert the blade intothis hole to start your cut.

B) Plung cutting: You need not bore a start-ing hole or make a lead-in cut if youcarefully do as follows.1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of

the base with the blade point posi-tioned just above the workpiece sur-face.

2. Apply pressure to the tool so that thefront edge of the base will not movewhen you switch on the tool andgently lower the back end of the toolslowly.

3. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.

Finishing edgesTo trim edges or make dimensional adjust-ments, run the blade lightly along the cutedges.

Metal cuttingAlways use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will causesignificant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using acoolant.Dust extractionClean cutting operations can be performedby connecting this tool to a Makita vacuumcleaner. Insert the hose of the vacuumcleaner into the hole at the rear of the tool.Lower the dust cover before operation.CAUTIONDust extraction cannot be performed whenmaking bevel cuts.

Rip fence (optional accessory)CAUTIO N:Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removingaccessories.1) Straight cuts

When repeatedly cutting widths of160 mm (6-9/32") or less, use of the ripfence (guide rule) will assure fast, clean,straight cuts.

When cutting circles or arcs of 170mm (6-11/16) or less in radius, install the rip fenceas follows.Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the side of the tool base with the fenceguide facing up. Insert the circular guide pin through the either of the two holes on thefence guide. Screw the threaded knob onto the pin to secure the pin. Now slide the ripfence to the desired cutting radius, and tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then movethe tool base all the way forward.
