Additional Safety Rules For The Laser - Makita LS1019 Instruction Manual

or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while
being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete
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 sud-
denly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
20. 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.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
22. 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.
23. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
Additional instructions
1. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
2. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
4. 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.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
5.
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
6.
open position.
7. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
8. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
10. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before
operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immedi-
ately. 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.
While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.
11.
KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the
workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw
blade is driven rapidly towards the operator. Loss
of control and serious personal injury can result. If
blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do
not continue to cut and release switch immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to
these parts could result in blade breakage.
14. 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.
15. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
16. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
17. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
18. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
19. 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.
20. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
21. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
22. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
23. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
