Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita DJV142 Instruction Manual

Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The
V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel angle by
graduations. Then tighten the bolt firmly to secure the
base.
Front flush cuts (Fig. 20)
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then tighten
the bolt to secure the base.
Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole: (Fig. 21)
• For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.
Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut.
B) Plunge cutting: (Fig. 22)
• You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut
if you carefully do as follows.
1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the
blade point positioned just above the workpiece
surface.
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the
base will not move when you switch on the tool and
gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the
base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.
4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.
Finishing edges (Fig. 23)
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
blade lightly along the cut edges.
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of
using a coolant.
Rip fence set (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing or
removing accessories.
1. Straight cuts (Fig. 24)
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less, use of
the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. (Fig. 25)
To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on
the side of the tool base with the fence guide facing down.
Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting width position,
then tighten the bolt to secure it.
2. Circular cuts (Fig. 26 & 27)
When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in radius,
install the rip fence as follows.
1. Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the
side of the base with the fence guide facing up. Insert
the circular guide pin through either of the two holes
on the fence guide. Screw the threaded knob onto the
pin to secure the pin.

2. Now slide the rip fence to the desired cutting radius,
and tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then move
the base all the way forward.
NOTE:
• Always use blades No. B-17, B-18, B-26 or B-27 when
cutting circles or arcs.
Guide rail adapter set (optional
accessory) (Fig. 28)
When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting straight,
the use of the guide rail and the guide rail adapter will
assure the production of fast and clean cuts.
To install the guide rail adapter, insert the rule bar into the
square hole of the base as far as it goes. Secure the bolt
with the hex wrench securely. (Fig. 29)
Install the guide rail adapter on the rail of the guide rail.
Insert the rule bar into the square hole of the guide rail
adapter. Put the base to the side of the guide rail, and
secure the bolt securely. (Fig. 30)
CAUTION:
• Always use blades No. B-8, B-13, B-16, B-17 or 58
when using the guide rail and the guide rail adapter.
