Blade Guard - Makita LS0714 Manual De Instrucciones

Blade guard

002252
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return
action of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE
BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY
OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS
AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or
sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no
longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to
loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the
hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the
blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so
positioned, cleaning can be more completely and
efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is complete,
reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not
remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes
discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact a
Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on
left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them
only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily
moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the
stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles.
Pull the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade
teeth. Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly).
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact
the sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not
tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
CAUTION:
Before and after changing the bevel angle, always
•
adjust the kerf boards as described above.
