Electronic Function - Makita HS010G Instruction Manual

Positive stopper
The positive stopper is useful for setting the designated angle
quickly. Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
your desired bevel angle (around 22.5°/45°/60°). Loosen the
lever and the clamping screw and then tilt the tool base until it
stops. The position where the tool base stops is the angle you
set with the positive stopper. Tighten the lever and clamping
screw with the tool base at this position.
► Fig.12: 1. Positive stopper
-1°-bevel cutting
To perform -1°-bevel cutting, loosen the lever and the
clamping screw. Set the bevel angle to -1° while turning
the stopper lever in the direction of the arrow. After that,
tighten the lever and the clamping screw.

Sighting
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
45° position with it.

Lighting the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
To turn on the lamp without running the tool, pull the
switch trigger without pressing the lock-off button.
To turn on the lamp with the tool running, press and hold
the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
The lamp goes out 10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger.

NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop the circular saw
blade after switch lever release, have tool serviced at a
Makita service center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a
substitute for blade guard. NEVER USE TOOL
WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING BLADE GUARD.
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

Electronic function

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following feature(s).
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Hex wrench storage
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

To remove the circular saw blade, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
For tool with the inner flange for other
than 15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one
side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other side.
Choose a correct side on which protrusion fits into the saw
blade hole perfectly. Mount the inner flange onto the mounting
shaft so that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange
faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange.
