User manual MAKITA 5704R

[. . . ] Power supply The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire. Safety hints For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety instructions. CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return. [. . . ] Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be sure to secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with the shaft lock fully depressed. Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the blade should point in the same direction as the arrow on the tool). Use the correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you intend to use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in dangerous vibration. Use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head bolt for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the safety cover. Move the riving knife up or down over the two protruberances for settings indicated in the illustration, so as to obtain the proper clearance between the riving knife and saw blade. CAUTION: Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that: The distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade is not more than 5 mm. The toothed rim does not extend more than 5 mm beyond the lower edge of the riving knife. Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin workpiece for cleaner, safer cuts. After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever securely. Loosen the thumb screws in front and back, and tilt the tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0° ­ 45°). Secure the thumb screws tightly in front and back after making the adjustment. For straight cuts, align the right notch on the front of the base with your cutting line on the workpiece. Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the characteristics specified in these instructions. Do not use saw blades the disc of which is thicker or the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the riving knife. To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully to prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head bolt. 8) Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover as much as possible, and remove the saw blade. To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. [. . . ] The use of any other accessories or attachments might present a risk of injury to persons. The accessories or attachments should be used only in the proper and intended manner.
