Miter Cutting; Bevel Cut; Compound Cutting - Makita DLS714 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
WARNING:
Never loosen the knob which
secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. A
loose carriage while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible in serious personal
injury.
► Fig.43
1. Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles counterclockwise 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 blade making any
contact and wait until the 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 blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".

Bevel cut

WARNING:
cut, before operating the tool ensure that the
carriage and blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of
the carriage or blade travel during the cutting opera-
tion may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the
blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade
path while cutting and contact with the blade will
result in serious personal injury
WARNING:
until it has come to a complete stop. During a bevel
cut the piece cut off may come to rest against the
blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off
piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the material
to fragment which may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
(Only for tools with sub-fence)
Always set the sub-fence outside when perform-
ing left bevel cuts.
► Fig.44
1. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting
the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely.
2. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade
and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut
the workpiece.
6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.

Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle
is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and Right 45°
Right 50°
Right 55°
Right 57°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
