Adjusting The Cutting Angle - Makita LS1214 Manuel D'instruction

CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
•
facing.
When cutting workpieces from 115 mm (4 -1/2") to
•
120 mm (4 - 3/4") high, use a wood facing to
prevent a portion of the workpiece near the guide
fence from being left uncut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 120 mm (4 - 3/4")
high, use a wood facing with the following
thickness.
Miter angle
0
Left and Right 45
Right 52
006475
CAUTION:
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
•
fence. The screws should be installed so that the
screw heads are below the surface of the wood
facing.
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the
•
turn base with the handle lowered. The blade
and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
3. Groove cutting

001563
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using
the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt
to perform this type of cut using wide (thick) blades
or with a dado blade. Possible loss of control and
injury may result.
Thickness of wood facing
Over 20 mm (13/16")
Over 15 mm (9/16")
Over 15 mm (9/16")
1. Cut grooves with
blade
CAUTION:
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
•
position when performing other than groove
cutting.
Carrying tool

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade
at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle
fully. Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage
toward you fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the
lowered position by 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.
