Bench Mounting - Makita LS1016 Instruction Manual

move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the blade guard into the open position.
14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.
chips and cut-offs.
15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a
maximum speed equal to or higher than the no
load speed marked on the tool.
16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do
not replace the laser or LED with a different
type. Ask an authorized service center for repair.
17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool
is running with an unguarded saw blade.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base
and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.
20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.
21. Support long workpieces with appropriate
additional supports.
22. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be
securely held by the vise. Improperly held workpiece
may cause kickback and serious personal injury.
23. Never reach around saw blade.
24. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
25. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
26. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
27. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. The electrical operation of the tool
could create an explosion and fire when exposed to
flammable liquids or gases.
28. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
29. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
30. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
31. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
32. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
33. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
34. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
35. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
36. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
37. 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.
38. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
39. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
40. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.
41. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
42. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
43. Take care when slotting.
44. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based-painted material and,
•
arsenic
•
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
45. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure
that the blade is sharp and clean.
46. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety

Fig.1
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the
lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper
pin by simultaneously applying a slight downward
pressure on the handle and pulling the stopper pin.
WARNING:
Ensure that the tool will not move on the
•
supporting surface. Movement of the miter saw
on the supporting surface while cutting may result
in loss of control and serious personal injury.

This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
