Miter Cutting; Bevel Cut - Makita LS1110F Instruction Manual

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the saw blade may vibrate
and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of
the cut will be impaired.
Press cutting
WARNING:
Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 90 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence until it
stops and lock it with the thumb screw.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed before lowering.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and wait until
the circular saw blade has come to a complete stop before
returning the circular saw blade to its fully elevated position.

Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut,
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you, unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
Never attempt to perform a slide
cut by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.
1. Loosen the thumb screw so that the carriage can slide freely.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4.
Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade mak-
ing any contact and wait until the saw blade attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the saw blade to its fully elevated position.

Bevel cut

WARNING:
bevel cut, ensure that the carriage and saw blade
will have free travel throughout the entire range
of the intended cut before operating the tool.
Interruption of the carriage or blade travel during the
cutting operation may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
hands out of the path of the saw blade. The angle
of the saw blade may confuse the operator as to the
actual blade path while cutting and contact with the
saw blade will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
raised until it has come to a complete stop. During
a bevel cut, the piece cut off may come to rest against
the saw blade. If the saw blade is raised while it is
rotating, the cut-off piece may be ejected by the saw
blade causing the material to fragment which may
result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the saw blade. If a force
is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the
pressure direction is changed during a cut, the preci-
sion of the cut will be impaired.
1. Set the sliding fence on the left to prevent the
carriage from contacting.
2. Unlock the stopper pin and loosen thumb screw on
the arm so that the carriage can be elevated and slid freely.
3.
Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the grip.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade making
any contact and wait until the circular saw blade attains full speed.
7.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position while
applying pressure in parallel with the circular saw blade and push
the carriage toward the guide fence to cut the workpiece.
8. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and wait
until the circular saw blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the saw blade to its fully elevated position.
