Groove Cutting; Carrying Tool; Maintenance - Makita DLS714 Instruction Manual

Wood facing
WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood
facing to the guide fence. The screws should be
installed so that the screw heads are below the
surface of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use the straight wood of even
thickness as the wood facing.
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.

When the wood facing is attached, do
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
Cutting repetitive lengths
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use the set
plate (optional accessory). Install the set plate on the
holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure.

Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and
while holding the workpiece, move the set plate flush
against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the set
plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw and
turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE: Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional
accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm approximately.

Groove cutting

WARNING:
of cut by using a wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider blade or
dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting results and
kickback which may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
the original position when performing other than groove
cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper arm in the
incorrect position could lead to unexpected cutting results
and kickback which may result in serious personal injury.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the adjust-
ing screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of the
blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" section described on previously.
2.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece
using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.55: 1. Cut grooves with blade
3. Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.

Carrying tool

WARNING:
and storage purposes and should never be used
for any cutting operations. The use of the stopper
pin for cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback and
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always secure all moving portions
before carrying the tool. If portions of the tool move
or slide while being carried loss of control or balance
may occur resulting in personal injury.
► Fig.56
1. Remove the battery cartridge.
2. Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn
base at the full right miter angle position.
3.
Secure the slide poles so that the lower slide pole
is locked in the position of the carriage fully pulled to
operator and the upper poles are locked in the position
of the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide fence.
4. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
5.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool
base. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can
carry the tool more easily.
