Bevel Cutting; Switch Action - Makita SP001G Manual De Instrucciones

Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and
move the blade lower limit stopper to the desired depth
on the scale plate. At the desired depth of cut, tighten
the clamping screw firmly.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

depth of cut when using guide rail
(optional accessory)
This tool has the quick stop button for 2 to 3 mm depth
of cut on the gear housing aside the rear handle when
using guide rail. This is used when avoiding splinter on
the workpiece in the cut. Make a pass of the 2 to 3 mm
first cut and then make another pass of usual cut.
► Fig.10: 1. Quick stop button
To obtain the 2 to 3 mm depth of cut, push in the quick
stop button toward the saw blade. This is convenient for
avoiding splinter on the workpiece.
To release the depth of cut from this position for free
depth of cut, just pull the button back.

Bevel cutting

Loosen the clamping screws. Set for the desired angle by
tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping screws securely.

The positive stopper is useful for setting the designated
angle quickly. Turn the positive stopper so that the
arrow on it points 22.5°. Loosen the clamping screws in front and back. Then tilt the blade until it stops and
secure the base with the clamping screws.

Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the speed
adjusting dial. The speed of the blade rotation increases
as you increase the number on the speed adjusting dial.
► Fig.18: 1. Speed adjusting dial
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.
