Electric Brake; Electronic Function; Laser Beam Action; Constant Speed Control - Makita LS1019 Instruction Manual

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.

Electric brake

This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop the blade after the switch trigger
is released, have the tool serviced at a Makita service center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a
substitute for the blade guard. Never use tool
without a functioning blade guard. An unguarded
blade may result in serious personal injury.

Electronic function

Constant speed control

The tool is provided with an electronic speed control
which helps maintain a constant blade rotation speed
even under load. A constant blade rotation speed will
result in a very smooth cut.
Soft start feature
This function allows the smooth start-up of the tool by
limiting the start-up torque.

NOTE: Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is
positioned within 1 mm (0.04") from the side surface
of the blade (cutting position).
NOTE: When laser line appears dim and hard to see
because of direct sunlight, relocate the work area to a
place where there is less direct sunlight.
Aligning the laser line
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the laser line.
A) When you want to obtain the correct size on the left
side of workpiece, shift the laser line to the left of the
blade.
B) When you want to obtain the correct size on the right
side of workpiece, shift the laser line to the right of the
blade.
NOTE: Use wood facing against the guide fence
when aligning the cutting line with the laser line at the
side of guide fence in compound cutting (bevel angle
45° and miter angle right 45°).
