Makita LS1040 Manual De Instrucciones página 15

• NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch
trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is HIGHLY
DANGEROUS and must be repaired before further
usage or serious personal injury may occur.
• NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down
or some other means. A switch with a negated lock-
off button may result in unintentional operation and
serious personal injury.
• NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull
the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button. A switch in need of repair may result in
unintentional operation and serious personal injury.
Return tool to a Makita service center for proper repairs
BEFORE further usage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.
WARNING:
• Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any smaller
than 6.35 mm in diameter. A smaller shank or cable may not properly lock the tool in the off position and
unintentional operation may occur resulting in serious
personal injury.
Lighting up the lamps (Fig. 14 & 15)
Only for model LS1040F / LS1040FS
CAUTION:
• This is not a rainproof light. Do not wash the light in
water or use it in a rain or a wet area. Such a conduct
can cause an electric shock and fume.
• Do not touch the lens of the light, as it is very hot while
it is lighted or shortly after it is turned off. This may
cause a burn to a human body.
• Do not apply impact to the light, which may cause
damage or shorted service time to it.
• Do not keep casting the beam of the light to your eyes.
This can cause your eyes to be hurt.
• Do not cover the light with clothes, carton, cardboard or
similar objects while it is lighted, which can cause a fire
or an ignition.
Push the upper position of the switch for turning on the
light and the lower position for off.
Move the light to shift an area of lighting.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of light, or it may lower
the illumination.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.
When removing or installing the blade, keep the handle
in the raised position.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover. (Fig. 16)
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 17)
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. (Fig. 18)
Install the flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket
wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed) securely
counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. (Fig. 19)
CAUTION:
• The ring 25.4 mm or 30 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed onto the spindle. Before mounting
the blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade you
intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the
blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has
released spindle before making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 20)
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.
Dust bag (Fig. 21)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
Securing workpiece (Fig. 22)
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to
do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the
workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO
NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a
complete stop.
CAUTION: • When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as
high as the top surface level of the turn base. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/ or horizontal vise to
secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.
Sub-fence (Fig. 23 & 24)
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. It should be
positioned as shown in Fig. 23.
