Installation; Storing Accessories - Makita 2704 Instruction Manual

14. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign material from the
workpiece before operation.
15. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from the
table before the switch is turned on.
16. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
17. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.
18. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
19. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
riving knife or workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
21. The tool should not be used for slotting, rab-
betting or grooving.
22. Replace table insert when worn.
23. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect tool before making any
adjustments.
24. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces
to keep your hands and fingers well away from
the blade.
25. Always store the push-stick when it is not in
use.
26. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is
a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes
the ejection of the workpiece from the tool
back towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid
KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by
keeping the riving knife and blade guard in
place and operating properly, by not releasing
the workpiece until you have pushed it all the
way past the blade, and by not ripping a work-
piece that is twisted or warped or does not
have a straight edge to guide along the fence.
27. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or
miter gauge.
28. NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw
blade has completely stopped.
29. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not
bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you
stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn
the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then
clear the jam.
30. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade
or touch the blade guard while the blade is
running.
31. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
32. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
— lead from lead-based-painted material
and,
— arsenic and chromium from chemical-
ly-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
—
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
34. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
35. The guard can be lifted during workpiece
setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make
sure that guard hood is down and flat against
sawtable before plugging in the tool.

INSTALLATION

Positioning table saw
► Fig.1: 1. Hole diameter 8 mm
► Fig.2: 1. 6 mm Std. washer 2. No.10 wood screw
40 mm min. length
► Fig.3: 1. 6 mm Std. washer 2. 6 mm Mounting bolt
& Nut tighten securely
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should
be installed in an area that leaves enough room to
easily handle the size of your workpieces. The table
saw should be secured with four screws or bolts to the
work bench or table saw stand using the holes provided
in the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table
saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an
opening in the top of the work bench the same size as
the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the saw-
dust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.
