Securing Workpiece - Makita DLS600 Instruction Manual

4. If the inner flange is removed, install it on the spin-
dle with its blade mounting part facing the blade. If the
flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub against
the machine.

To install the blade, perform the following steps:
1. Mount the blade carefully onto the inner flange.
Make sure that the direction of the arrow on the blade
matches the direction of the arrow on the blade case.

2.
Install the outer flange and hex socket bolt, and
then use the hex wrench to tighten the hex socket bolt
(left-handed) of the spindle securely counterclockwise
while pressing the shaft lock.
3. Return the blade guard and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex socket bolt of the
center cover clockwise to secure the center cover.
4.
Release the handle from the raised position by
pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly.
5. Make sure the shaft lock has released spindle
before making cut.
For tool with the inner flange for
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
Country specific
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw
blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange
and hex bolt.
For tool without the ring

6. Spindle
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
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.
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 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, the
material should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same height
to keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help 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 workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
