Carrying Tool; Adjusting The Cutting Angle - Makita LS1214 Manual De Instrucciones

Example:
When cutting workpieces 120 mm (4 - 3/4")
high, use a wood facing with the following
thickness.
Miter angle
0˚
Left and Right 45˚
Right 52˚
CAUTION:
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the
screw heads are below the surface of the wood
facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the
turn base with the handle lowered. The blade and/
or the wood facing will be damaged.
9. Groove cutting
1
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as fol-
lows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cut-
ting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" sec-
tion described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-
piece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the fig-
ure. Then remove the workpiece material between
the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt to perform
this type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with a
dado blade. Possible loss of control and injury may
result.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove cutting.

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.
Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage toward
you fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.
