Operation - Makita DLS714 Betriebsanleitung

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base.
By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in
and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured.
To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clock-
wise until the indicator reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or
pulled out while being turned clockwise, the indicator
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob
back counterclockwise until the screw is released, and
then turn it again gently clockwise.
The maximum capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm
width.
Holders and holder assembly
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient
means of supporting workpieces horizontally.
Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the
screws firmly to secure them.

When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

OPERATION

WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not con-
tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch
is turned on. Turning the tool on with the blade in
contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not touch the clamp screws
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the
handle from the lowered position by pulling the
stopper pin.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark
may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut may be impaired.
Press cutting (cutting small
workpieces)
WARNING:
which secure the slide poles clockwise so that
the carriage will not move during operation.
Insufficient tightening of the locking screw may cause
possible kickback which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
► Fig.42
Workpieces up to 52 mm high and 97 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise to secure the carriage.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before
lowering.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
