Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Makita DRS780 Instruction Manual

Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.
Always keep the tool tethered when working "at
1.
height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 6.5 kg (14.4 lbs).
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the
working area so that a falling tool is held securely.
8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move away
from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools will swing on
the lanyard, which could cause injury or loss of balance.
9. Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
Only transfer the tool between your hands
11.
while you are properly balanced.
12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that keeps
guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly.
13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14. Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.
15. Use multi-action and screw gate type carabineers.
Do not use single action spring clip carabineers.
16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be tagged
and removed from service, and should be inspected
by a Makita Factory or Authorized Service Center.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower guards
to ensure there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the lower guarding system. A
dirty guarding system may limit the proper operation which
could result in serious personal injury. The most effective
way to accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If
the dust is being blown out of the guards be sure the
proper eye and breathing protection is used.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting 0°-cut accuracy
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, you can adjust it as the following procedure.
1. Slightly loosen the lever on on the bevel scale
plate.
2. Make the base perpendicular to the blade using
a triangular rule or square rule by turning the adjusting
bolt.

3. Tighten the lever and then make a test cut to
check the verticalness.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
