Operation; Maintenance - Makita HS7601 Bedienungsanleitung

WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
•
always be sure that the correct ring for the
blade's arbor hole you intend to use is
installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade
causing blade movement and severe vibration
resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.11
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
(Optional accessory)
Fig.12
Fig.13
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install
the dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then
connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust
nozzle as shown in the figure.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly
•
hold the tool by both front grip and rear handle
during operations.
Fig.14
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base 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. If the cut fails to
properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to
turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may
bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and
possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning
which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid
injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (optional accessory)
Fig.15
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the clamping screw on the front of the base.
It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure
•
there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the lower guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper
operation which could result in serious personal injury.
The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is
with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out
of the guards, be sure the proper eye and
breathing protection is used.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Adjusting for parallelism
Fig.16
The parallelism between the blade and the base has
been factory adjusted. But if it is off, you can adjust it as
the following procedure.
Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly
loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower
guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and
B are equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a
test cut to get a correct parallelism.
Adjusting for accuracy of 0° cut
Fig.17
Fig.18
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while
inspecting 0° the blade with the base using a triangular
rule or square rule, etc.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.19
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Fig.20
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
