14.Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so it will not move during operation.

15.For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the table top before operation.

16.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.

17.Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.

18.Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base in the lowest position.

19.Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.

20.Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

22.Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.

23.Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.

24.Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.

25.Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.

15

26.Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

27.Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, aluminum or similar materials.

28.Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device when sawing.

29.Select saw blades in relation to the material to be cut.

30.Take care when slotting.

31.Replace the kerf board when worn.

32.Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel.

33.Some dust created from operation contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based-painted material and,

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

34.To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean.

35.The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine.

36.Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.

37.Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool is running and the saw head is not in the rest position.

38.Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.

39.Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable) and rough material.

40.When fitted with laser, no exchange with different type of laser is permitted. Repairs shall only be carried out correctly.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

Bench mounting

When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin by simultaneously applying a slight downward pressure on the handle and pulling the stopper pin. (Fig. 1)

WARNING:

•Ensure that the tool will not move on the supporting surface. Movement of the miter saw on the supporting surface while cutting may result in loss of

control and serious personal injury.

This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.

(Fig. 2)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Failure to switch off and unplug the tool may result in serious personal injury from accidental start-up.

Blade guard (Fig. 3 & 4)

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The blade guard returns to its original position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.

WARNING:

•Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding may result in serious personal injury during operation.

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.

WARNING:

•Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or removed guard may result in serious personal injury.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard because this may cause damage to the guard.

If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below: With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes damaged through age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard.

DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

Positioning kerf board (Fig. 5, 6 & 7)

This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf boards as follows:

First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position. Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise which secures the upper slide poles and also push forward the lock lever which secures the lower slide poles. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).

16

After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely.

NOTICE:

•After setting the bevel angle ensure that the kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide proper support of the workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity (Fig. 8, 9 & 10)

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.

Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted. When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows: First, unplug the tool. Lower the stopper lever to position the saw blade as shown in the figure. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base.

With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Readjust slightly, if necessary.

After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the original position by turning it counterclockwise.

WARNING:

•After installing a new blade and with the tool unplugged, always be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. If a blade makes contact with the base it may cause kickback and result in serious personal injury.

Stopper arm (Fig. 11)

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, rotate the stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 12)

Push the grip so that the cams engages and turn it clockwise until it stops. Turn the turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to the desired angle on the miter scale, turn the grip 90° counterclockwise to lock the turn base.

CAUTION:

•After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn base by turning the grip 90° counterclockwise.

NOTICE:

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

•It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.

•After a cutting operation do not raise the blade until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.

•When cutting a workpiece that is longer than the support base of the saw, the material should be supported the entire length beyond the support base and at the same height to keep the material level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK. (Fig. 34)

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are upper and lower fences) adjustment

WARNING:

•Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper and lower fences are secured firmly.

•Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the upper and lower fences when fully lowering and raising the handle in any position and while moving the carriage through its full range of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with the fence this may result in kickback or unexpected movement of the material and serious personal injury.

The lower fences can be moved inward and outward by loosening the clamping screws. (Fig. 35)

A red indicating area will appear as the lower fences are moved inward and will disappear as the lower fences are moved outward.

The upper fences can be removed or moved inward and outward by loosening the levers. (Fig. 36)

In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper fence positions to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, and make sure that no part of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the lower and upper fences when lowering and raising the handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way at the lowest position. (Fig. 37)

Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw turned off and unplugged, then check clearance between fences and moving parts.

Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by tightening the levers.

When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don’t forget to return the upper fences to the original position and return it.

Vertical vise (Fig. 38)

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the base.

19

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.

Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.

WARNING:

•The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is not properly secured against the fence the material may move during the cutting operation causing possible damage to the blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious personal injury.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 39 & 40)

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base.

When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.

By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.

The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.

WARNING:

•Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece is not properly secured the material may move during the cutting operation causing possible damage to the blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious personal injury.

•When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base boards, against the fence, always use the horizontal vise.

Holders (optional accessory) (Fig. 41)

The holders can be installed on either side as a convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally. Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then tighten the holders securely with the screws.

WARNING:

•Always support a long workpiece so it is level with the top surface of the turn base for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of tool control.

Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

•Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

•Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed.

•Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

•During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

WARNING:

•Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on. Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and serious personal injury.

1.Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) (Fig. 42)

Workpieces up to 68 mm high and 160 mm wide can be cut in the following manner.

After turning the stopper lever clockwise and sliding the carriage to your desired position, push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock lever towards the front of the saw to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or crown molding stoppers.

Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. 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.

WARNING:

•Firmly tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock lever towards the front of the saw so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening of the locking screw may cause possible kickback which may result in serious personal injury.

2.Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

(Fig. 43 & 44)

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and also push forward the lock lever so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press the handle down and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. 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.

20

WARNING:

•Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the carriage full towards you and press the handle all the way down, then push the carriage 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.

•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.

•Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the lowered position.

•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.

3.Mitre cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter angle”.

4.Bevel cut (Fig. 45)

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. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. 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.

WARNING:

•After setting the blade for a bevel 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 operation may result in kickback and serious personal injury.

Measuring

•While making a bevel cut keep 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.

•The blade should not be raised 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.

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 pressure direction is changed during a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.

•Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the upper fence and lower fence maybe required. Refer to the section titled “Guide fence adjustment”.

5.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	Bevel angle
Left and Right 0° – 45°	Left and Right 0° – 45°

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.

6.Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base. There are two common types of crown moldings and one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations. (Fig. 46)

There are crown and cove molding joints which are made to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. 47 & 48) and “Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. 47 & 48).

Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the workpiece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to check the saw angles.

When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and position the moldings on the top surface of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).

For both adjustments, do as follows.

1.Make sure that the tool is unplugged.

2.Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.

3.Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just check to see where the cutting line and the position of the saw blade is. (Decide which position to cut on the line of cut.)

4.After deciding the correct position of the line in relation to the blade, return the handle to the original position. Secure the workpiece with the vertical vise without shifting the workpiece from the pre-checked position.

5.Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch.

6.Adjust the position of laser line as follows.

The position of laser line can be changed as the movable range of the adjusting screw for the laser is changed by turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The movable range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm from the side surface of blade.)

24

To shift the laser line movable range further away from the side surface of blade, turn the two screws counterclockwise after loosening the adjusting screw. Turn these two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the side surface of the blade after loosening the adjusting screw.

Refer to the section titled “Laser beam action” and adjust the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your workpiece is aligned with the laser line.

NOTE:

•Check the position of laser line regularly for accuracy.

•Have the tool repaired by a Makita authorized service center for any failure on the laser unit.

Cleaning the laser light lens (Fig. 65 & 66)

For models LS1016L and LS1016FL only

If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and clean the lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the lens.

To remove the lens for the laser light, remove the saw blade before removing the lens according to the instructions in the section titled “Installing or removing saw blade”.

Loosen but do not remove the screw which secures the lens using a screwdriver.

Pull out the lens as shown in the figure.

NOTE:

•If the lens does not come out, loosen the screw further and pull out the lens again without removing the screw.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 67 & 68)

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.

After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If the electric brake is not working correctly, have the tool repaired by a Makita service center.

After use

•After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard clean according to the directions in the previously covered section titled “Blade guard”. Lubricate the sliding portions with machine oil to prevent rust.

•When storing the tool, pull the carriage toward you fully so that the slide pole is thoroughly inserted into the turn base.

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.

Montage du banc

À sa sortie d’usine, la poignée de cet outil est verrouillé en position abaissée par la broche d’arrêt. Libérez la broche d’arrêt en appliquant une légère pression vers le bas sur la poignée tout en tirant sur la broche d’arrêt. (Fig. 1)

AVERTISSEMENT :

•Assurez-vous que l’outil ne bougera pas sur la surface de soutien. Si la scie à onglet bouge sur la surface de soutien pendant la coupe, il y a risque de perte de contrôle et de blessure grave.

Boulonnez l’outil à l’aide de quatre boulons sur une surface stable et de niveau en utilisant les orifices de boulon prévus sur le socle de l’outil. Ceci pour empêcher tout risque de renversement et de blessure. (Fig. 2)

DESCRIPTION DU FONCTIONNEMENT

AVERTISSEMENT :

•Vérifiez que l’outil est hors tension et débranché avant de l’ajuster ou de vérifier son fonctionnement. Il y a risque de démarrage accidentel et de blessure grave si vous ne coupez pas le contact et ne débranchez pas l’outil.

Protecteur de lame (Fig. 3 et 4)

Le protecteur de lame s’élève automatiquement lorsque vous abaissez la poignée. Le protecteur revient à sa position d’origine une fois la coupe terminée et la poignée relevé.

AVERTISSEMENT :

•Ne jamais modifier ou retirer le protecteur de lame ou son ressort. Une lame exposée suite à la modification du protecteur peut entraîner une blessure grave lors de l’utilisation.

Pour votre propre sécurité, maintenez toujours le protecteur de lame en bonne condition. Tout fonctionnement irrégulier du protecteur de lame doit être corrigé immédiatement. Vérifiez que le mécanisme de rappel du protecteur fonctionne correctement.

AVERTISSEMENT :

•Ne jamais utiliser l’outil si le protecteur de lame ou le ressort est endommagé, défectueux ou retiré.

L’utilisation de l’outil avec un protecteur endommagé, défectueux ou retiré peut entraîner une blessure grave.

Si le protecteur de lame transparent devient sale ou si la sciure de bois y adhère au point que la lame et/ou la pièce ne soit plus bien visible, débranchez la scie et nettoyez soigneusement le protecteur avec un chiffon humide. N’utilisez aucun solvant ou nettoyant à base de pétrole sur le protecteur de plastique, car cela risquerait de l’abîmer.

Si le protecteur de lame est sale et doit être nettoyé pour assurer un fonctionnement adéquat, suivez les étapes cidessous :

28

Avec l’outil hors tension et débranché, utilisez la clé à douille fournie pour desserrer le boulon hexagonal qui retient le capot central. Desserrez le boulon hexagonal en le faisant tourner vers la gauche, puis soulevez le protecteur de lame et le capot central.

Le nettoyage du protecteur de lame peut être effectué de manière plus complète et efficace lorsqu’il se trouve dans cette position. Une fois le nettoyage terminé, effectuez la procédure ci-dessus en sens inverse et fixez le boulon. Ne retirez pas le ressort du protecteur de lame. Si le protecteur se détériore avec le temps ou sous l’effet des rayons ultraviolets, contactez un Centre d’Entretien Makita pour vous procurer un nouveau protecteur.

NE PAS MODIFIER OU RETIRER LE PROTECTEUR.

Positionnement du plateau de découpe (Fig. 5, 6 et 7)

Le socle rotatif de cet outil est équipé de plateaux de découpe pour minimiser la déchirure du côté de sortie de la coupe. Les plateaux de découpe sont réglés en usine de sorte qu’ils n’entrent pas en contact avec la lame. Avant l’utilisation, ajustez les plateaux de découpe comme suit :

Débranchez d’abord l’outil. Desserrez toutes les vis qui retiennent les plateaux de découpe (2 à droite et 2 à gauche). Ne les resserrez que partiellement, de sorte qu’il soit facile de déplacer manuellement les plateaux de découpe. Abaissez complètement la poignée et enfoncez la broche d’arrêt pour verrouiller la poignée en position abaissée. En tournant dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre, desserrez la vis de verrouillage qui retient les tiges de glissement supérieures, et poussez vers l’avant le levier de verrouillage qui retient les tiges de glissement inférieures. Tirez complètement le chariot vers vous. Ajustez les plateaux de découpe de sorte qu’ils touchent très légèrement les côtés des dents de la lame. Serrez légèrement les vis à l’avant. Poussez complètement le chariot vers le guide et ajustez les plateaux de découpe de sorte qu’ils touchent très légèrement les côtés des dents de la lame. Serrez légèrement les vis à l’arrière.

Après avoir ajusté les plateaux de découpe, dégagez la broche d’arrêt et levez la poignée. Serrez ensuite toutes les vis fermement.

REMARQUE :

•Après avoir réglé l’angle de coupe en biseau, assu- rez-vous que les plateaux de découpe sont bien ajustés. Des plateaux de découpe bien ajustés contribuent au soutien adéquat de la pièce et réduisent l’effet d’arrachement sur la pièce.

Maintien de la capacité de coupe maximale (Fig. 8, 9 et 10)

Cet outil est réglé en usine pour offrir une capacité de coupe maximale avec une lame de 260 mm. Débranchez l’outil avant de tenter tout réglage.

•Évitez de heurter la lampe, afin de ne pas l’endommager ou raccourcir sa durée de service.

•Évitez de diriger directement le faisceau de lumière vers vos yeux. Il y a risque de blessure oculaire.

•Ne recouvrez pas la lampe avec un chiffon, du carton, une boîte ou tout autre objet similaire pendant qu’elle est allumée, pour éviter tout risque d’incendie ou de feu.

Pour allumer la lampe, appuyez sur la position supérieure (I) de l’interrupteur. Pour éteindre la lampe, appuyez sur la position inférieure (O) de l’interrupteur.

Déplacez la lampe pour éclairer une autre zone.

NOTE :

•Utilisez un chiffon sec pour essuyer les saletés qui recouvrent la lentille de la lampe. Prenez garde de rayer la lentille de la lampe, sinon sa capacité d’éclairage sera affectée.

Fonction électronique
