User manual MAKITA HS7101

[. . . ] Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. [. . . ] Maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating the blade tips. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. NOTE: • Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination. €¢ Do not use gasoline, thinner or the like to clean the lens of lamp. ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. 8) CAUTION: • Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the tool. €¢ Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the blade. To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the blade cannot revolve and use the hex wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. 9) Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw blade, outer flange and hex bolt. 10) The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion fits into the saw blade hole perfectly. Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange. CAUTION: • Make sure that the protrusion “a” on the inner flange that is positioned outside fits into the saw blade hole “a” perfectly. Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration. [. . . ] 19) The parallelism between the blade and the base has been factory adjusted. While opening the lower guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and B are equal. 9 ENG905-1 ENH101-15 Noise For European countries only The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745: Model HS6100, HS6101 Sound pressure level (LpA): 89 dB (A) Sound power level (LWA): 100 dB (A) Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A) Model HS7100, HS7101 Sound pressure level (LpA): 90 dB (A) Sound power level (LWA): 101 dB (A) Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A) Wear ear protection ENG900-1 EC Declaration of Conformity We Makita Corporation as the responsible manufacturer declare that the following Makita machine(s): Designation of Machine: Circular Saw Model No. / Type: HS6100, HS6101, HS7100, HS7101 are of series production and Conforms to the following European Directives: 2006/42/EC And are manufactured in accordance with the following standards or standardised documents: EN60745 The technical documentation is kept by our authorized representative in Europe who is: Makita International Europe Ltd.
