Installation; Bench Mounting - Makita LS1018 Instruction Manual

12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to
these parts could result in blade breakage.
13. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
16. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
18. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON" position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
