Makita LS1013 Instruction Manual page 14

INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting
operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade
has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
•
are as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over
its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

Sub-fence
Fig.32
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the
left position as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over
•
to the left position as shown in the figure.
Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
Fig.33
Sub-fence R (optional accessory)
Fig.34
The sub-fence R can be installed on the right side of the
guide fence. Insert the rods of the sub-fence R into the
holes in the guide fence. Tighten the screws which come
with the sub-fence R to secure the sub-fence R.
CAUTION:
When performing right bevel cuts, never use the
•
sub-fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of
the tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
Vertical vise
Fig.35
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the base.
Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the
base and tighten the screw on the back of the guide
fence to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
•
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.36
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on
the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is
to be turned.
Fig.37
By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released,
and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece,
push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts
the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 200 mm.
When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of
the base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the
workpiece more firmly. Refer to the "Sub-fence R"
section described on previously for installing the
sub-fence R.
CAUTION:
Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage
to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can
result in PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders
Fig.38
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
Kerf block (optional accessory)
Fig.39
CAUTION:
When using the kerf block, always cut at the same
•
miter angle.
When changing the miter angle, use other kerf
•
blocks.
When performing bevel cuts, never use the kerf
•
block.
