Operation - Makita LH1040 Bedienungsanleitung

NOTE:
To attach the dust bag to the front dust nozzle in
•
the table saw mode (bench mode), first remove
the cap from the front dust nozzle and then attach
the dust bag to the dust nozzle.
When not in use of dust bag, always replace the
•
cap to the front dust nozzle. Failure to do so result
in dust scattering from the nozzle.
When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
•
mode), make sure that the blade cover is installed
on the turn table.
Securing workpiece
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the
optional vise. If you must use your hand to hold the
workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely so
as not to lose control of the workpiece. Your hand and
arm must be kept well away from the blade area
(100mm minimum). Squeeze the workpiece firmly
against the guide fence with your fingers held over the
top of the guide fence. The workpiece must also rest
steadily on the turn base.
WARNING:
Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that
•
requires your hand to be any closer than 100mm
from the blade area. In this case, always use the
optional vise to secure the workpiece. After any
cutting operation, raise the blade gently. Never
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. Serious injury may result.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
•
are as high as the top surface level of the turn
base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise (both optional) to secure the
workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.
Fig.36
Vertical vise (optional accessory)
Fig.37
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder
assembly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the
way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
•
turn base and guide fence.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.38
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side
opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be
turned. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the
screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise,
the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn
the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection
reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the
vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned
clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle. In this
case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise until the
screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 130 mm.
Holders and holder assembly (optional
accessories)
Fig.39
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed
on either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.
Fig.40
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

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.
CUTTING AS MITER SAW
WARNING:
When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure
•
the top table at the topmost position so that the
saw blade never protrudes from the top surface of
the top table.
