Adjusting The Bevel Angle - Makita DLS713 Betriebsanleitung

First, remove the battery cartridge. Loosen all the
screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf
boards. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the
handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the han-
dle in the lowered position. Loosen two clamp screws
which secure the slide poles. Pull the carriage toward
you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards
just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the
front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade
teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper
pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE: After setting the bevel angle ensure that
the kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjust-
ment of the kerf boards will help provide proper support
of the workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting

base
► Fig.15: 1. Top surface of turn table 2. Periphery of
blade 3. Guide fence
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 190 mm saw blade.
Remove the battery cartridge before any adjustment is
attempted. When installing a new blade, always check
the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary,
adjust it as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle com-
pletely. Use the hex wrench to turn the adjusting bolt
until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below
the top surface of the turn base at the point where the
front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of
the turn base.
With the battery cartridge removed, rotate the blade
by hand while holding the handle all the way down to
be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the
lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
WARNING:
After installing a new blade and
with the battery cartridge removed, always be
sure that the blade does not contact any part of
the lower base when the handle is lowered com-
pletely. If a blade makes contact with the base it may
cause kickback and result in serious personal injury.
Stopper arm
► Fig.16: 1. Adjusting screw 2. Stopper arm
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in
the figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade
stops at the desired position when lowering the handle
fully.
Sub-fence
Country specific
CAUTION:
When performing left bevel cuts,
flip the sub-fence outward. Otherwise, it may con-
tact the blade or a part of the tool, and may result in
serious injury to the operator.
► Fig.17: 1. Sub-fence
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually posi-
tion the sub-fence inside. However, when performing
left bevel cuts, flip it outward.
Adjusting the miter angle
► Fig.18: 1. Turn base 2. Lock lever 3. Miter scale
4. Pointer 5. Grip
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the
turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you
have moved the grip to the position where the pointer
points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely
tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
After changing the miter angle,
always secure the turn base by tightening the grip
firmly.
NOTICE: When turning the turn base, be sure to raise
the handle fully.

Adjusting the bevel angle

► Fig.19: 1. Lever 2. Release button
► Fig.20: 1. Pointer 2. Bevel scale 3. Arm
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of
the tool counterclockwise.
Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the
pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the
arm.
To tilt the blade to the right, push the release button at
the rear of the tool while tilting the blade slightly to the
left after loosening the lever. With the release button
depressed, tilt the saw blade to the right.
CAUTION:
After changing the bevel angle,
always secure the arm by tightening the lever
clockwise.
NOTICE: When tilting the saw blade be sure the handle
is fully raised.
NOTICE: When changing bevel angles, be sure to
position the kerf boards appropriately as explained in
the "Positioning kerf boards" section.
Adjusting the lever position
► Fig.21: 1. Lever 2. Screw
The lever can be repositioned at every angle 30° when
the lever does not provide full tightening.
Loosen and remove the screw that secures the lever at
the rear of the tool. Remove the lever and install it again
so that it is slightly above the level. Secure the lever
with the screw firmly.
