Securing Workpiece - Makita LS0816F Instruction Manual

Installing the circular saw blade
CAUTION:
Make sure to install the circular
saw blade so that the direction of the arrow on
the circular saw blade matches that on the blade
case. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
1.
Complete the steps in the "Common preparations
for installing or removing the circular saw blade".
2. Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use
the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket bolt clockwise.
Then remove the hex socket bolt and outer flange.

3. Mount the circular saw blade carefully onto the
inner flange. Make sure that the direction of the arrow
on the circular saw blade matches the direction of the
arrow on the blade case.

4.
Install the outer flange and hex socket bolt.
Tighten the hex socket bolt (left-handed) counterclock-
wise securely using the hex wrench while pressing the
shaft lock.

5. Return the blade guard and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex socket bolt of the
center cover to secure it.
Lower the carriage and check that the blade guard
moves properly.

Removing the circular saw blade
1. Complete the steps in the "Common preparations
for installing or removing the circular saw blade".
2. Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle. Loosen
the hex socket bolt clockwise using the hex wrench.
Then remove the hex socket bolt, outer flange and
circular saw blade.

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

NOTICE:
Be careful not to lose the removed outer
flange and hex socket bolt.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.
NOTICE:
Depending on the type of vacuum cleaner
and hose used, the dust collecting port may be
blocked by the dust collecting guard, making it impos-
sible to collect dust. In that case, weaken the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.
► Fig.33: 1. Dust collecting guard
Dust bag
CAUTION:
When performing a cutting, always
attach the dust bag or connect a vacuum cleaner
to prevent dust-related hazards.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, con-
nect the dust bag to the dust nozzle.
► Fig.34: 1. Dust bag 2. 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.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
raise the saw blade until it has come to a com-
plete stop. The raising of a coasting saw blade may
result in serious personal injury and damage to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
longer than the support base of the miter 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 to secure the work-
piece. Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possi-
ble KICKBACK.
