Operation - Makita LS1013 Bedienungsanleitung

Failure to do so splits the block, causing a serious injury
to operator.
When you use the kerf block at 90° cutting, you can
splinter-free cut in workpiece on the side of the guide
fence (height of the workpiece is up to 35 mm). Install
the kerf block onto the guide fence by means of the two
screws. (Adjust the guide fence and the kerf block so
that they contact their faces. Then tighten the screws
securely.)

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.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
Fig.41
Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 70 mm wide can
be cut in the following way.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the knob 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 lowering.
Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered
position 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:
Firmly tighten the knob 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.
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
Fig.42
Loosen the knob counterclockwise 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
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,
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 knob 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".
4. Bevel cut
Fig.43
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 workpiece 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.
