Adjusting The Cutting Angle - Makita LH1201FL Bedienungsanleitung

Auxiliary fence
Fig.42
Fig.43
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.44
(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.46
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.48
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.50
(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
angle adjusting bolt counterclockwise.
Fig.51
Make sure that the pointer on the turn base
point to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it
does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so
that it will point to 0°.

(2) 45° bevel angle
Fig.53
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after
performing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To
adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen the lever
