Makita DLS713 Instruction Manual page 15

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 guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site 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.
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)

► 1 . Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft 4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise,
the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise,
the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece,
turn the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection
reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely.
If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being
turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle.
In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently
clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4-3/4").
WARNING:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection
is at the topmost position. Failure to do so
may result in insufficient securing of the work-
piece. This could cause the workpiece to be
thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the
loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly

ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.

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 kick-
back which may result in serious personal injury.
