Additional Instructions - Makita LS1221 Manual De Instrucciones

16. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
17. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
18. Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before the
saw head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to
be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
19. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specified in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury.
20. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
21. Always select the correct saw blade for the
material to be cut. Do not use the saw blade to
cut materials other than those specified.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.

1. Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and
miter cutting in wood. With appropriate saw
blades, aluminum can also be sawed.
2. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could
3.
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
4.
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
5. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the blade guard into the open position.
6. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
7. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
8.
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch hardened
on blades slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from
tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot
water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.
10. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
11. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
12. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
13. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
14. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
15. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
16. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
18. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
19. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON" position.
20. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
21. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
