Operation; Maintenance - Makita DSS610 Bedienungsanleitung

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade
► Fig.15: 1. Shaft lock 2. Hex wrench
CAUTION:
• Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing
up at the front of the tool.
• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove
the blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the
hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer
flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.

4. Hex bolt
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.
Only for tools with a ring (specific
country)

4. Outer flange 5. Hex bolt
WARNING:
• Before mounting the blade onto the spin-
dle, 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 oper-
ation and in serious personal injury.
Hex wrench storage
► Fig.18: 1. Hex wrench
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.19: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Screw
► Fig.20: 1. Hose 2. Vacuum cleaner
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 con-
nect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as
shown in the figure.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way
until it locks in place. If you can see the red part
on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot
be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the
tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• 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 kick-
back, possibly causing severe injury.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the
battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool
to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.
► Fig.21: 1. Rear handle 2. Front grip 3. Base
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 com-
pleted.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly 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)
► Fig.22: 1. Clamping screw 2. Rip fence (Guide rule)
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 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
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
