Makita HS7601J Manual De Instrucciones página 9

For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade (country specific) (Fig. 15 & 16)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw
blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange and
hex bolt.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
WARNING:
• Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the blade's arbor
hole you intend to use is installed between the
inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect
arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of
the blade causing blade movement and severe
vibration resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 17)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner (optional
accessory) (Fig. 18 & 19)
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then connect a
hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as shown
in the figure.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
• Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold
the tool by both front grip and rear handle during
operations. (Fig. 20)
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the
blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the
tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat
and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and
lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.
Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw
tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.
Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to
chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye
protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (optional
accessory) (Fig. 21)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the
clamping screw on the front of the base. It also makes
repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure
there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the lower guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper
operation which could result in serious personal injury.
The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is
with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of
the guards, be sure the proper eye and breathing
protection is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting for parallelism (Fig. 22)
The parallelism between the blade and the base has been
factory adjusted. But if it is off, you can adjust it as the
following procedure.
Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly
loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower
guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and B
are equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a test
cut to get a correct parallelism.
Adjusting for accuracy of 0° cut (Fig. 23 &
24)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while
inspecting 0° the blade with the base using a triangular
rule or square rule, etc.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 25)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 26)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
