Makita LH1200FL Instruction Manual page 15

In case of tools for European countries, flip the
sub-fence outward before placing the blade cover.
CAUTION:
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
•
push blocks when there is a danger that your
hands or fingers will come close to the blade.
Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and
•
the rip fence. Do not bend or twist it while feeding.
If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous
kickbacks may occur.
NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is
•
running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before
completing a cut, first switch the tool off while
holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade
has come to a complete stop before withdrawing
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause
dangerous kickbacks.
NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is
•
running.
NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of
•
the saw blade.
Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous
•
kickbacks may occur.
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
•
push blocks when cutting small or narrow
workpieces.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts
without the need for the operator to contact the blade
with any part of the body.

Use a 15 mm piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten
with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 10
mm x 9 mm x 30 mm of wood must always be glued to
plywood to keep the blade from dulling if the operator
cuts into push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)

Make auxiliary fence from 10 mm and 15 mm plywood
pieces.
Remove the rip fence, clamping screw (A), flat washer
and square nut from the rip fence holder and then attach
and secure the auxiliary fence to the rip fence holder by
using a bolt M6 longer than M6x50, washers and nut.
Ripping
CAUTION:
When cutting long or large workpieces, always
•
provide adequate support behind the table. DO
NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the
table. This will cause the blade to bind and
increase the possibility of kickback and personal
injury. The support should be at the same height as
the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the
thickness of the workpiece. To make this
adjustment, loosen two levers and lower or raise
50mm
the top table.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip
and secure in place by tightening the clamping
screw (A). Before ripping, make sure the two
screws of the rip fence holder are secured. If it is
not secured enough, retighten it.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece
into the blade along with the rip fence.
