Adjusting The Cutting Angle; After Use - Makita MLS100 Manual De Instrucciones

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. 33)
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 wrench. If the
pointer does not point to 0° on the miter scale, loosen
the screw which secures the pointer and move and
secure the pointer plate so that the pointer points to 0°
on the miter scale.
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. (Fig. 34)
2. Bevel angle
(1) 0° bevel angle (Fig. 35)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the
knob at the rear of the tool. Loosen the hex nut and
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. Then tighten the hex nut to
secure the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt and tighten the knob securely.
Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to 0° on
the bevel scale. If it does not point to 0° on the bevel
scale, loosen the screw which secures the pointer and
move and secure the pointer plate so that the pointer
points to 0° on the bevel scale. (Fig. 36 & 37)
(2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 38)
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the knob and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer does
not point 45°, turn the 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt
on the left side of the arm until the pointer points to
45°.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 39)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to 3 mm in length. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 40)

After use

• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool
with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard clean
according to the directions in the previously covered
section titled "Blade guard". Lubricate the sliding
portions with machine oil to prevent rust.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN61029:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration emission value determined according to
EN61029:
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
