Makita LS1013 Manual De Instrucciones página 22

Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the hex bolt on the right side
of the arm clockwise. Turn the hex bolt on the left
side of the arm clockwise as far as it will go. Then
tighten the lever securely. (Fig. 54)
Make sure that the two pointers on the arm point to
each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If they
do not point to 0°, loosen the screws which secure
the pointers and adjust them so that they will point to
0°. (Fig. 55)
2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 56)
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the left 45° bevel
angle adjusting bolt on the side of the arm holder
until the pointer points to 45°.
To adjust right 45° bevel angle, perform the same
procedure described above.
Adjusting for smooth beveling action (Fig. 57)
The hex lock nut holding together the arm and arm
holder has been factory adjusted to assure smooth bev-
eling action and to guarantee precise cutting. Do not
tamper with it. Should looseness develop at the arm and
arm holder connection, tighten the hex lock nut using a
wrench.
Adjusting the position of laser line (Fig. 58 & 59)
For model LS1013L, LS1013FL only
WARNING:
• As the tool is plugged when adjusting the position of
laser line, take a full caution especially at switch action.
Pulling the switch trigger accidentally cause an acci-
dental start of the tool and personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Never look into the laser beam directly. Direct laser
beam causes damage to your eyes.
• Never apply a blow or impact to the tool. A blow or
impact causes the incorrect position of laser line, dam-
age to the laser beam emitting part or a short life of the
tool.

For both adjustments, do as follows.
1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
2. Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the
workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.
3. Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just
check to see where the cutting line and the position
of the saw blade is. (Decide which position to cut on
the line of cut.)
4. After decision the position to be cut, return the han-
dle to the original position. Secure the workpiece
with the vertical vise without shifting the workpiece
from the pre-checked position.
5. Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch.
6. Adjust the position of laser line as follows.
The position of laser line can be changed as the movable
range of the adjusting screw for the laser is changed by
turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The movable
range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm from
the side surface of blade.)
To shift the laser line movable range further away from
the side surface of blade, turn the two screws counter-
clockwise after loosening the adjusting screw. Turn these
two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the side surface
of the blade after loosening the adjusting screw.
Refer to the section titled "Laser beam action" and adjust
the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your work-
piece is aligned with the laser line.
NOTE:
• Check the position of laser line regularly for accuracy.
• Have the tool repaired by Makita authorized service
center for any failure on the laser unit.

Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
(Fig. 60 & 61)
For model LS1013L, LS1013FL only
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and clean the
lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth.
Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on
the lens.
To remove the lens for the laser light, remove the saw
blade before removing the lens according to the instruc-
tions in the section titled "Installing or removing saw
blade".
Loosen but do not remove the screw which secures the
lens using a screwdriver.
Pull out the lens as shown in the figure.
