Miter Cutting; Bevel Cut - Makita LS002G Manual De Instrucciones

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the circular saw blade
may vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the work-
piece and the precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the car-
riage toward the guide fences without stopping. If
the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark
may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut may be impaired.
Press cutting
WARNING:
Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 70 mm high and 92 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fences until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed before lowering.
4.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.

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.
1. Unlock the stopper pins so that the carriage can
be elevated and slid 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 circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fences and through the workpiece.
6.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.

Miter cutting

Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.

Bevel cut

WARNING:
blade for a bevel cut, ensure that the carriage and
circular saw blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut before oper-
ating the tool. Interruption of the carriage or circular
saw blade travel during the cutting operation may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
hands out of the path of the circular saw blade.
The angle of the circular saw blade may confuse the
operator as to the actual blade path while cutting and
contact with the circular saw blade will result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING:
be raised until it has come to a complete stop.
During a bevel cut, the piece cut off may come to
rest against the circular saw blade. If the circular saw
blade is raised while it is rotating, the cut-off piece
may be ejected by the circular saw blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the circular saw blade. If
a force is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or
if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pins so that the carriage can
be elevated and slid freely.
3. Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the grip dial.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
