Special Max Width Cutting Capacities Technique - Makita LS1216 Instruction Manual

Example:
When cutting workpieces 115 mm and 120
mm high, use a wood facing with the
following thickness.
Miter angle
0°
Left and Right 45°
Left and Right 52°
Right 60°

WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the
•
guide fence. The screws should be installed
so that the screw heads are below the surface
of the wood facing so that they will not interfere
with the positioning of the material being cut.
Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement
operation which may result in a loss of control and
serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the
•
turn base with the handle lowered. The blade
and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
9. Groove cutting

001563
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using
the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by
•
using a wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider blade
or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
