Safety hints

For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed Safety instructions.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear hearing protection.
2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order. Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check operation of lower guard before each use. Don't use if lower guard does not close briskly over saw blade.

CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return.

1. Do not use blades which are deformed or cracked.
2. Do not use blades of high speed steel.
3. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on the saw blade.
4. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
5. DANGER: Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area. Keep hands away from blades. Don't reach underneath work while blade is rotating.

Don't attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.

1. Support Large Panels.

Large panels must be supported as shown in Fig. A to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.

When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the work piece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

Fig. A

Fig.B

Don't support board or panel away from the cut.

1. Use Rip Fence.

Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

1. Guard Against Kickback.

Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Keep blades sharp. Support large panels as shown in Fig. A. Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Don't force tool. Stay alert exercise control. Don't remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.

NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury.

Fig. C

1. Lower Guard. Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
2. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.
3. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting. Don't use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.
4. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
5. When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away from the work area.

WARNING:

It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury.

Fig. D illustrates typical hand support of the saw.

A typical illustration of proper hand support, workpiece support, and supply cord routing.

1. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made.

As examples, Fig. E illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. F the WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

Fig. E

Fig. F

1. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

Fig. G

1. Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Removing or installing saw blade

The following blade can be used with this tool.

Model	Max. dia.	Min. dia.	Blade thickness	Kerf
5603R	165 mm	150 mm	1.6 mm or less	1.9 mm or more
5703R	190 mm	170 mm	1.6 mm or less	1.9 mm or more
5903R	235 mm	210 mm	1.7 mm or less	2.1 mm or more
5103R	270 mm	260 mm	1.8 mm or less	2.2 mm or more
5143R	355 mm	350 mm	2.3 mm or less	2.7 mm or more

The thickness of the riving knife is 1.8mm for Models 5603R and 5703R or 2.0mm for Models for 5903R and 5103R or 2.5mm for Model 5143R.

CAUTION:

• Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the characteristics specified in these instructions.
• Do not use saw blades the disc of which is thicker or the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the riving knife.

To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully to prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head bolt. (Fig. 1)

Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover as much as possible, and remove the saw blade. (Fig. 2)

Install the saw blade using the reverse of the removal procedure. Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be sure to secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with the shaft lock fully depressed. (Fig. 1 & 3)

CAUTION:

• Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the blade should point in the same direction as the arrow on the tool).

• Never depress the shaft lock while the saw is running.

• Use only the Makita socket wrench to remove or install the blade.

Riving knife adjustment (Fig. 4)

Use the socket wrench to loosen the hex head socket bolt for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the safety cover. Move the riving knife up or down over the two protuberances for settings indicated in the illustration, so as to obtain the proper clearance between the riving knife and saw blade.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that: The distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade is not more than 5mm The toothed rim does not extend more than 5mm beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 5)

Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up or down. At a desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the lever.

CAUTION:

• Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin workpiece for cleaner, safer cuts.
  After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever securely.

Adjusting for bevel cuts (Fig. 6)

• Loosen the thumb nuts in front and back, and tilt the tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0 - 45^) . Secure the thumb nuts tightly in front and back after making the adjustment. (5603R, 5703R, 5903R, 5103R)
• Loosen the thumb nut in front and tilt the tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0 - 60^) . Secure the thumb nut tightly in front after making the adjustments. (5143R)

Sighting (5603R, 5703R) (Fig. 7)

For straight cuts, align the right notch on the front of the base with your cutting line on the workpiece.

For 45^ bevel cuts, align the left notch with it.

Top guide (5903R, 5103R) (Fig. 8)

Align your sight line with either the 0^ notch for straight cutting or the 45^ notch for 45^ angle cuts.

Top guide (5143R) (Fig. 9)

Align your sight line with either the 0^ notch for straight cutting or the 30^ notch for 30^ angle cuts or the 45^ notch for 45^ angle cuts or the 60^ notch for 60^ angle cuts.

Switch action (Fig. 10)

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

Operation (Fig. 11)

Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform.

CAUTION:

• The riving knife should always be used except when plugging in the middle of the workpiece.
• Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on the disc.

Guide rule (Fig. 12 & 13)

The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

Joint assembly (Fig. 14 & 15 & 16)

(for connecting a vacuum cleaner)

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, connect a vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the joint on the tool using the screw. Then connect a hose of vacuum cleaner to the joint.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the machine.
