Miter Cutting - Makita LS002G Manual De Instrucciones

Sub base
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece so it
is level with the top surface of the turn base for an accu-
rate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of tool control.
Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch and
possible kickback which may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before the cutting operation,
always be sure that the sub bases are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws
and extend the sub bases to the appropriate length for
holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.

OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut wood products. With appro-
priate Makita genuine saw blades, following materials
can also be sawed :
— Aluminum products
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer for the
correct circular saw blades to be used for the material to be cut.
WARNING:
Make sure the circular saw blade
is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the
switch is turned on. Turning the tool on with the
circular saw blade in contact with the workpiece may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the circular saw blade until it has come to a
complete stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result
in serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not perform any adjustment
such as turning grip, levers, stopper pin on the
tool while the circular saw blade is rotating.
Adjustment while the circular saw blade is rotating
may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the han-
dle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of
the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. 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 circular saw blade
may vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the work-
piece and the precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the car-
riage toward the guide fences without stopping. If
the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark
may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut may be impaired.
Press cutting
WARNING:
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 70 mm high and 92 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fences 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 circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw 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 circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.

WARNING:
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:
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:
the handle locked in the lowered position.
1. Unlock the stopper pins so that the carriage can
be elevated and slid 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 circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fences and through the workpiece.
6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.
