Operation - Makita DLS600 Betriebsanleitung

CAUTION:
Make sure that the blade mounting part
"a" on the inner flange that is positioned outside fits
into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the blade
on the wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier.
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of
its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adher-
ing to the insides which might hamper further collection.

NOTE: If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw,
cleaner operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the vise.
Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that is
longer than the support base of the saw, the mate-
rial should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid
blade pinch and possible kickback which may result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical
vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin
material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire
length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
Secure the workpiece firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of the
guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide
fence and tighten the lower screw to secure the vise rod.

7. Vise rod
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool con-
tacts the vise when lowering the handle fully. 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.
Attaching the shoulder strap
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the shoulder
strap before operating the tool. The shoulder
strap may be entangled and cause injury.
CAUTION:
Be sure to attach the hooks of the
shoulder strap to the tool securely. If the hooks
are attached incompletely, they may come off and
cause injury.
The shoulder strap is convenient for transporting the
tool. Attach the hooks of the shoulder strap to the tool
as shown in the figure.

OPERATION

WARNING:
tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch
is turned on. Turning the tool on with the blade in
contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the
handle from the lowered position by pulling the
stopper pin.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
Press cutting (cutting small
workpieces)
► Fig.46
Workpieces up to 46 mm high and 92 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
2. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before
lowering.
3.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
4. 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.
