Securing Workpiece - Makita DLS714 Instruction Manual

Dust bag
Optional accessory
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.
To attach the fastener, align the top end of the fastener
with the triangular mark on the dust bag.
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.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
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 work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

WARNING:
the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. Otherwise the material may move during the
cutting operation, cause damage 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 or the holder assembly. Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assem-
bly 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 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:
cator 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.
