Makita DLS714 Instruction Manual page 19

WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend
to use is installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 20 mm or 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade
Country specific
The inner flange has a certain diameter of a blade
mounting part on one side of it and a different diameter
of blade mounting part on the other side. Choose a
correct side on which blade mounting part fits into the
saw blade hole perfectly.

6. Blade mounting part
CAUTION:
Make sure that the blade mounting
part "a" on the inner flange that is positioned
outside fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in
the dangerous vibration.
Dust bag
Optional accessory
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier.
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

NOTE: If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw,
cleaner operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.
► Fig.38: 1. Support 2. Turn base
Vertical vise
WARNING:
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence
or the holder assembly and tighten the lower screw to
secure the vise rod.

7. Lower screw 8. Upper screw
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper 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.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do
so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which may result in personal injury.

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
