Makita LS1216 Manuel D'instruction page 22

Example:
When cutting workpieces 115 mm (4-1/2")
and 120 mm (4 - 3/4") high, use a wood
facing with the following thickness.
Miter angle
0°
Left and Right 45°
Left and Right 52°
Right 60°
010050
WARNING:
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 so that they will not interfere
with the positioning of the material being cut.
Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement
operation which may result in a loss of control and
serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
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.
9. Groove cutting
1
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.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by
•
using a wider type blade or dado blade.

blade
or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
•
position when performing other than groove
cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper
arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Special Max Width Cutting Capacities
Technique
The maximum width cutting capacity of this tool
can be achieved by following the steps below:
For the maximum cutting width of this tool refer to
the SPECIFICATIONS under "Special Max Width
Cutting Capacities"
(1) Set the tool at 0° or 45° miter angle and make
sure that the turn base is locked. (Refer to the
section titled "Adjusting the miter angle".)
(2) Remove both right and left upper fences
cutting
temporarily and set aside
0° Miter angle: Over 450 mm (17-3/4")
45° Miter angle: Over 325 mm (12-3/4")

(3) Cut a platform to the dimensions indicated in
the drawing above using a 38mm (1-1/2")
thick, flat stock material such as wood,
plywood or particle board.
WARNING:
Be sure to use flat stock as a platform. Stock
•
that is not flat may move during the cutting
operation which may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
NOTE:
The maximum cutting capacity in height will be
•
reduced by the same amount as the platform
thickness.
