Makita DLS714 Instruction Manual page 18

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
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.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Grip the workpiece only when the
indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do
so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which may result in personal injury.

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 indicator reaches its topmost position, then fasten
securely. If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being
turned clockwise, the indicator may stop at an angle. In this
case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise until the
screw is released, and then turn it again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4-3/4").
Holders and holder assembly
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
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 helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not con-
tacting 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.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
Do not touch the clamp screws
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
