Cutting Operation - Makita LC1230 Manuel D'instruction

Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
•
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause a personal injury.
Do not touch the blade immediately after operation;
•
it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.

Securing workpiece
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be ejected or cause
damage to the blade.
By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released from
the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out.
To grip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right
and then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely
retain the workpiece.
003780
Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of
non-flammable material on either side so that it will be
level with the base top.

OPERATION

Cutting operation

CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut workpieces less than 14
•
gauge (0.08") thick except pipe or workpieces
which cannot be secured firmly with the vise. The
piece cut off may be caught by the blade, causing
dangerous scattering of chips and/or damage to
the carbide-tips. Possible serious injury may result.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much pressure may result in
overload of the motor, decreased cutting efficiency
and/or damage to the carbide-tips or blade itself.
