WARNING:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released. Do
not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in
the lock-off button. This can cause switch break-
age. Operating a tool with a switch that does not actu-
ate properly can lead to loss of control and serious
personal injury.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of
padlock to lock the tool off.
For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 18)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released. Do
not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in
the lock-off button. This can cause switch break-
age. Operating a tool with a switch that does not actu-
ate properly can lead to loss of control and serious
personal injury.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of
padlock to lock the tool off.
WARNING:
• Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any smaller
than 6.35 mm in diameter. A smaller shank or cable
may not properly lock the tool in the off position and
unintentional operation may occur resulting in serious
personal injury.
• NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch
trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is HIGHLY
DANGEROUS and must be repaired before further
usage or serious personal injury may occur.
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-off but-
ton which prevents the tool from unintended starting.
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the
switch trigger without pressing the lock-off button. A
switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a
Makita service center for proper repairs BEFORE fur-
ther usage.
• NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down or
some other means. A switch with a defeated lock-off
button may result in unintentional operation and serious
personal injury.
Lighting up the lamps
For Models LS1016F and LS1016FL only (Fig. 19)
CAUTION:
• This is not a rainproof light. Do not wash the light in
water or use it in a rain or a wet area. Such a conduct
can cause an electric shock and fume.
• Do not touch the lens of the light, as it is very hot while
it is lighted or shortly after it is turned off. This may
cause a burn to a human body.
• Do not apply impact to the light, which may cause dam-
age or shorted service time to it.
• Do not keep casting the beam of the light to your eyes.
This can cause your eyes to be hurt.
20
• Do not cover the light with clothes, carton, cardboard or
similar objects while it is lighted, which can cause a fire
or an ignition.
To turn on the light, press the upper position (I) of the
switch. To turn off the light, press the lower position (O) of
the switch.
Move the light to shift an area of lighting.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of light, or it may lower
the illumination.
Electronic function
Constant speed control
• The tool is provided with an electronic speed control
which helps maintain a constant blade rotation speed
even under load. A constant blade rotation speed will
result in a very smooth cut.
Soft start feature
• This function allows the smooth start-up of the tool by
limiting the start-up torque.
Laser beam action
For Models LS1016L and LS1016FL only (Fig. 20 &
21)
CAUTION:
• Never look into the laser beam. Direct laser beam may
injure your eyes.
• LASER RADIATION, DO NOT STARE INTO THE
BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRU-
MENTS, CLASS 2M LASER PRODUCT.
To turn on the laser beam, press the upper position (I) of
the switch. To turn off the laser beam, press the lower
position (O) of the switch.
Laser line can be shifted to either the left or right side of
the saw blade by adjusting the adjusting screw as fol-
lows.
1. Loosen the adjusting screw by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. With the adjusting screw loosened, slide the adjust-
ing screw to the right or left as far as it goes.
3. Tighten the adjusting screw firmly at the position
where it stops sliding.
Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned within
1 mm from the side surface of the blade (cutting posi-
tion).
NOTE:
• When laser line appears dim and hard to see because
of direct sunlight, relocate the work area to a place
where there is less direct sunlight.
Aligning the laser line (Fig. 22)
Laser line can be shifted to either the left or right side of
the blade according to the applications of cutting. Refer
to explanation titled "Laser beam action" regarding its
shifting method.
NOTE:
• Use wood facing against the guide fence when aligning
the cutting line with the laser line at the side of guide
fence in compound cutting (bevel angle 45 degrees and
miter angle right 45 degrees).
A) When you obtain the correct size on the left side of
workpiece
• Shift the laser line to the left of the blade.
