Cross Cutting - Makita MLT100 Instruction Manual

When cutting long or large workpieces, always
•
provide adequate support behind the table. DO
NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the
table. This will cause the blade to bind and
increase the possibility of kickback and personal
injury. The support should be at the same height as
the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the
thickness of the workpiece.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip
and lock in place by pivoting the grip.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece
into the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm and wider,
carefully use your right hand to feed the
workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the
workpiece in position against the rip fence.

(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm,
the push stick cannot be used because the
push stick will strike the blade guard. Use the
auxiliary fence and push block. Attach the
auxiliary fence to the rip fence with two "C"
clamps.

Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
about 25 mm from the front edge of the table.
Continue to feed using the push block on the
top of the auxiliary fence until the cut is
complete.
