Operation - Makita DLS714 Instruction Manual

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 capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm width.
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 accu-
rate 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.
The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient
means of supporting workpieces horizontally.
Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the
screws firmly to secure them.
