Carrying tool (Fig. 52 & 53)
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full right miter
angle position. Secure the slide poles so that the lower
slide pole is locked in the position of the carriage fully
pulled to operator and the upper poles are locked in the
position of the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide
fence. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the
tool.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only
and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten two
clamp screws to secure the carriage.
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide fence
using the hex wrench. (Fig. 54)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex
socket bolts on the guide fence in the order starting from
the right side. (Fig. 55)
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.
If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will
point to 0°. (Fig. 56)
Bevel angle
0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten two
clamp screws to secure the carriage. Lower the handle
fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the
stopper pin. Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt (lower bolt) on the
right side of the arm two or three revolutions
counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the right. (Fig. 57)
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt
clockwise. Then tighten the lever securely. (Fig. 58)
Make sure that the pointer on the arm point to 0° on the
bevel scale on the arm holder. If it does not point to 0°,
loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust
the pointer so that it will point to 0°. (Fig. 59)
45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0° bevel
angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen
the lever and tilt the blade to the left fully. Make sure that
the pointer on the arm points to 45° on the bevel scale on
the arm holder. If the pointer does not point to 45°, turn
the 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt (upper bolt) on the right
side of the arm until the pointer points to 45°. (Fig. 60)
Adjusting the position of laser line (Fig. 61 & 62)
For model LS0714FL, LS0714L
WARNING:
• As the tool is plugged when adjusting the position of
laser line, take a full caution especially at switch action.
Pulling the switch trigger accidentally cause an
accidental start of the tool and personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Never look into the laser beam directly. Direct laser
beam causes damage to your eyes.
• Never apply a blow or impact to the tool. A blow or
impact causes the incorrect position of laser line,
damage to the laser beam emitting part or a short life of
the tool.
• Have the tool repaired by Makita authorized service
center for any failure on the laser unit. No change with
different type of laser is permitted.
