Miter Cutting; Bevel Cut - Makita LS1219 Manual De Instrucciones

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of
the cut will be impaired.
Press cutting
WARNING:
Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 92 mm high and 183 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
► Fig.43: 1. Stopper pin
1.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before
lowering.
4.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut,
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
Never attempt to perform a slide
cut by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.
► Fig.44: 1. Stopper pin
1. Unlock the stopper pin so that the carriage can
slide freely.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".

Bevel cut

WARNING:
cut, ensure that the carriage and blade will have
free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool. Interruption
of the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the
blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade path while cutting and contact with the blade will
result in serious personal injury
WARNING:
until it has come to a complete stop. During a
bevel cut the piece cut off may come to rest against
the blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the
cut-off piece maybe ejected by the blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
► Fig.45
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pin.
3. Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the "Adjusting the bevel angle" section.
Then tighten the knob.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
7. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade
and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut
the workpiece.
