Securing Workpiece - Makita DLS713 Nstruction Manual

For tool with the inner flange for
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
Country specific
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place circu-
lar saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer
flange and hex bolt.

For tool with the ring

6. Spindle
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the correct
ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend to use is
installed between the inner and the outer flanges. Use
of the incorrect arbor hole ring may result in the improper
mounting of the blade causing blade movement and severe
vibration resulting in possible loss of control during opera-
tion and in serious personal injury.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 20 mm or 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade
Country specific
The inner flange has a certain diameter of a blade
mounting part on one side of it and a different diameter
of blade mounting part on the other side. Choose a
correct side on which blade mounting part fits into the
saw blade hole perfectly.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the blade mounting
part "a" on the inner flange that is positioned
outside fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in
the dangerous vibration.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.
► Fig.32
Dust bag (accessory)
► Fig.33: 1. Dust bag 2. Dust nozzle 3. Fastener
To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the 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 proper type
of vise. 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 mate-
rial 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 seri-
ous 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.

7. Screw
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
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 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.
