Overload Protector; Fig.3 - Makita SP6000 Instruction Manual

Tilting to the left
► Fig.13: 1. Bevel angle shifting lever
The tool can be tilted to the left 1° bevel angle. To get
the left 1° bevel angle, loosen the clamping screws in
front and back, tilt the tool handle slightly to the right
and push two bevel angle shifting levers at the same
time in the direction of arrow which has a marking -1.
And then tilt the tool handle to the left while pushing
these two levers at the same time. Secure the base with
the clamping screws.
NOTE:
• Returning the blade to the right angle makes the
shifting lever return to 0° by itself.
Sighting
► Fig.14: 1. Base 2. Cutting line
When using the tool without guide

B position with it.
When using the tool with guide rail
(accessory)
For both straight cuts and 45° bevel cuts, always align

line.
Switch action
► Fig.15: 1. Lock-off button 2. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
push in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.

Speed adjusting dial
► Fig.16: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 6; lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as
far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or
1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer
work.
• The speed adjusting dial is not for using low
speed rated saw blades but for obtaining a
speed which is suitable to material of workpiece.
Use only saw blades which are rated for at
least the maximum no load speed stated in the
SPECIFICATIONS.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.

Overload protector

When the tool is overloaded and current flows above
a certain level, the tool automatically stops to protect
motor.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
