Securing Workpiece - Makita DLS600 Instruction Manual

Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier.
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the vise.
Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
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.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
against the turn base and guide fence with the
vise during all operations. Otherwise the material
may move during the cutting operation, cause dam-
age to the blade, and be thrown which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the
guide fence and tighten the lower screw to secure the
vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool con-
tacts the vise when lowering the handle fully. 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.
