Switch action

WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actu-
ates 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 breakage. Operating a tool with a
switch that does not actuate properly can lead to loss
of control and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully
operative switch trigger. Any tool with an inoper-
ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing 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 further usage.

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.

A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.
WARNING:
Do not use a lock with a shank or
cable any smaller than 6.35 mm (1/4") 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.
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 model LS1019L only
CAUTION:
Never look into the laser beam.
Direct laser beam may injure your eyes.
To turn on the laser beam, press the upper position (I)
of the switch. To turn off the laser beam, press the lower
position (0) of the switch.

Tighten the adjusting screw firmly at the position
where it stops sliding.
NOTE: Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is posi-
tioned within 1 mm from the side surface of the blade
(cutting position).
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
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the laser
line.
► Fig.28
A) When you want to obtain the correct size on the left
side of workpiece, shift the laser line to the left of the
blade.
B) When you want to obtain the correct size on the right
side of workpiece, shift the laser line to the right of the
blade.
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° and miter angle right 45°).
