Operation - Makita LS002GZ01 Instruction Manual

Vertical vise
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fences with
the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions each
on the left and right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into one of the holes in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the clamping screw. If the clamping screw
contacts the carriage, install it on the opposite side of
vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the
vise when lowering the handle all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fences and
the turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired
cutting position and secure it firmly by tightening the
vise knob.

WARNING:
Always rotate the nut holder
clockwise until the workpiece is properly secured.
If the workpiece is not properly, secured the material
may move during the cutting operation causing pos-
sible damage to the circular saw blade, causing the
material to be thrown and loss of control resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When cutting a thin workpiece,
such as base boards, against the fence, always
use the horizontal vise.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm or thinner, make sure to use a
spacer block to secure the workpiece.
The horizontal vise can be installed either on the left or
on the right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or
greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side
opposite to the direction in which the turn base is to be
turned.
By flipping the nut holder counterclockwise, the vise
is released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the
workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece and flip the nut holder
clockwise. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure
the workpiece.

Sub base
WARNING:
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
always be sure that the sub bases are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws
and extend the sub bases to the appropriate length for
holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.
