Maintenance - Makita LH1200FL Bedienungsanleitung

mm x 9 mm x 30 mm of wood must always be glued to
plywood to keep the blade from dulling if the operator
cuts into push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)
Auxiliary fence
Fig.41
Fig.42
Make auxiliary fence from 10 mm and 15 mm plywood
pieces.
Remove the rip fence, clamping screw (A), flat washer
and square nut from the rip fence holder and then attach
and secure the auxiliary fence to the rip fence holder by
using a bolt M6 longer than M6x50, washers and nut.
Ripping
CAUTION:
When cutting long or large workpieces, always
•
provide adequate support behind the table. DO NOT
allow a long board to move or shift on the table. This
will cause the blade to bind and increase the
possibility of kickback and personal injury. The
support should be at the same height as the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the
thickness of the workpiece. To make this
adjustment, loosen two levers and lower or raise
the top table.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip
and secure in place by tightening the clamping
screw (A). Before ripping, make sure the two
screws of the rip fence holder are secured. If it is
not secured enough, retighten it.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece
into the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 40 mm or wider, use
a push stick.
Fig.43
(2) When the width of rip is narrower than 40 mm,
the push stick cannot be used because the
push stick will strike the top blade guard. Use
the auxiliary fence and push block.
Install securely the auxiliary fence which is
secured to the rip fence holder on the table.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
about 25 mm from the front edge of the top
table. Continue to feed using the push block
on the top of the auxiliary fence until the cut is
complete.

Carrying tool
Fig.45
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. The table must be
fixed at the top position. Secure the blade at 0° bevel
angle and the turn base at left miter angle fully. Lower
the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by fully
pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.

CAUTION:
Always secure all moving portions before carrying
•
the tool.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
WARNING:
Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean
•
for the best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Miter angle
Fig.47
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex
bolts securing the guide fence using the socket
wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then
securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in
the order from the right side.

2. Bevel angle
Fig.49
(1) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the
lowered position by pushing in the stopper
pin. Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the
right side of the turn base two or three
revolutions clockwise to tilt the blade to the
right.
Carefully square the side of the blade with
the top surface of the turn base using the
triangular rule, try-square, etc. by turning the
0° bevel
counterclockwise.
