Operation - Makita LS1013 Instruction Manual

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on
the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is
to be turned.

By flipping the vise nut to the left, 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 vise nut to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 200 mm.
When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of
the base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the
workpiece more firmly. Refer to the "Sub-fence R"
section described on previously for installing the
sub-fence R.
CAUTION:
Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage
to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can
result in PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders

The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.

CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
Kerf block (optional accessory)

004861
CAUTION:
When using the kerf block, always cut at the same
•
miter angle.
When changing the miter angle, use other kerf
•
blocks.
When performing bevel cuts, never use the kerf
•
block.
Failure to do so splits the block, causing a serious injury
to operator.
When you use the kerf block at 90° cutting, you can
splinter-free cut in workpiece on the side of the guide
fence (height of the workpiece is up to 35 mm). Install
the kerf block onto the guide fence by means of the two
screws. (Adjust the guide fence and the kerf block so
that they contact their faces. Then tighten the screws
securely.)
