VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
USB036-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in
place. Check blade guard for proper clos-
ing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
blade guard into the open position.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It
can still cause severe injury.
4

4. Do not perform any operation freehand.
The workpiece must be secured firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with
a vise during all operations. Never use
your hand to secure the workpiece.
15. Be careful not to damage the arbor,
flanges (especially the installing surface)
or bolt. Damage to these parts could
result in blade breakage.
16. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during opera-
tion. Use the holes in the base to fasten
the saw to a stable work platform or
bench. NEVER use tool where operator
positioning would be awkward.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to
stop before moving workpiece or chang-
ing settings.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or ser-
vicing.
17. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before oper-
ation.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, return car-
riage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation.
18. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece
before operation.
9. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
19. Make sure the shaft lock is released
before the switch is turned on.
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head
down is for carrying and storage pur-
poses only and not for any cutting opera-
tions.
20. Be sure that the blade does not contact
the turn base in the lowest position.
21. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the
saw moves up or down slightly during
start-up and stopping.
11. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
12. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
22. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
damage
before
operation.
Replace
cracked or damaged blade immediately.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades
slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by first remov-
ing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
23. Before using the tool on an actual work-
piece, let it run for a while. Watch for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate
poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
24. Wait until the blade attains full speed
before cutting.
13. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting
operation and the saw blade is driven
back rapidly towards the operator. Loss of
control and serious personal injury can
result. If blade begins to bind during a cut-
ting operation, do not continue to cut and
release switch immediately.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
26. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on
position.
27. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do
not be lulled into a false sense of security.
Blades are extremely unforgiving.
14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

28. Always use accessories recommended in
this manual. Use of improper accessories
such as abrasive wheels may cause an
injury.
30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp
objects.
29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of
blade with left hand or vice versa. This is
called cross-armed cutting and exposes
user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS
use vise to secure workpiece.
31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top
to speed cutting operations. Cut only one
piece at a time.
32. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
•
•
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc.
before the switch is turned on.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor
and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle
with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting
and without significant decrease in blade speed.
•
•
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the
guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement
is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
002177
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
Workpieces up to 75 mm (2 - 15/16”) high and 140 mm
(5 - 1/2”) wide can be cut in the following way.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the clamp screw on the turn base clockwise to
secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed before lower-
ing. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered
position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is com-
pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE
HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.

CAUTION:
•
Firmly tighten the clamp screw on the turn base
clockwise so that the carriage will not move during
operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected
kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL
INJURY may result.
002178
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
Loosen the clamp screw on the turn base counterclock-
wise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the
workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press down the
handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE
GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
•
Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the
handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER
START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY
PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut
without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the
slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback
unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious
PERSONAL INJURY.
•
•
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the
lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.
Never loosen the clamp screw which secures the
carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause
serious injury.
3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter
angle”.

002179
4. Bevel cut
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the
bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the work-
piece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the
way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without
the blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the
fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD
THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When
the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
•
•
Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel
direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of
saw blade.
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the
piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still
rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing
fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade
should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a
complete stop.
•
When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel
to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade
during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
5. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed
at angle shown in the table.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A) and
“Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).
Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to
cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make
sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the work-
piece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for
angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to
check the saw angles.

9. Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 255 mm (10”) to 415 mm (16 - 5/16”), use
of the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more
efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder
(optional accessory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while
holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate
flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the
set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used,
loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.

10. Groove cutting
1
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the stop-
per plate to limit the cutting depth of the blade. To adjust
it, slightly loosen the hex bolt securing the stopper plate
with the socket wrench. Push the carriage toward the
guide fence fully and lower the handle. When the blade
reaches the desired cutting depth, adjust the stopper
plate so that it contacts the blade case. Then tighten the
hex bolt firmly to secure the stopper plate. With the tool
unplugged, be sure that the blade will not lower beyond
the desired cutting depth when the handle is lowered
completely.
1. Cut grooves with blade
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using
a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove
the workpiece material between the grooves with a
chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using
wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of
control and injury may result.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
Warranty Policy
Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of
defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.
Should any trouble develop during this one year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of
Makita’s Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective
workmanship or material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace) without charge.
This Warranty does not apply where:
• repairs have been made or attempted by others:
• repairs are required because of normal wear and tear:
• the tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained:
• alterations have been made to the tool.
IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING
AND AFTER THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.
MAKITA DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
“MERCHANTABILITY” AND “FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE,” AFTER THE ONE YEAR TERM OF THIS
WARRANTY.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
