• Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.

• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Intended use The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum can also be sawed. 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.

Wear eye protection.

Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury. Do not operate saw without guards in place. Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position. Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece. Never reach around saw blade. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing. Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations. Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately. Use only flanges specified for this tool. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so it will not move during operation. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the table top before operation. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base in the lowest position. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.

20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. 22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting. 23. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal. 24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position. 25. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving. 26. Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury. 27. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminum, wood or similar materials. 28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device when sawing. 29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to be cut. 30. Take care when slotting. 31. Replace the kerf board when worn. 32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel. 33. Some dust created from operation contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based-painted material and, • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. 34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean. 35. The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine. 36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade. 37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

INSTALLATION Bench mounting

When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper pin. (Fig. 1) This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury. (Fig. 2) Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise or counterclockwise so that it comes into a contact with the floor surface to keep the tool stable. (Fig. 3)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Blade guard (Fig. 4 & 5)

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUARD. In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard. If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

Positioning kerf board (Fig. 6 & 7)

This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf boards as follows: First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position. Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly). After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely. CAUTION: • Before and after changing the bevel angle, always adjust the kerf boards as described above.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

(Fig. 8 & 9) This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 190 mm saw blade. When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows: First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base. With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Readjust slightly, if necessary. CAUTION: • After installing a new blade, always be sure that the blade does not contact any part of the lower base when the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with the tool unplugged.

Stopper arm (Fig. 10)

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 11)

Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the grip clockwise. CAUTION: • When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle fully. • After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn base by tightening the grip firmly.

Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 12 & 13)

Lighting up the lamps (Fig. 17)

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of the tool counterclockwise.

Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the arm. To tilt the blade to the right, push the release button at the rear of the tool while tilting the blade slightly to the left after loosening the lever. With the release button depressed, tilt the saw blade to the right.

Laser line can be shifted to either the left or right side of the saw blade by adjusting the adjusting screw as follows. 1. Loosen the adjusting screw by turning it counterclockwise. 2. With the adjusting screw loosened, slide the adjusting screw to the right or left as far as it goes. 3. Tighten the adjusting screw firmly at the position where it stops sliding. Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned within 1 mm from the side surface of the blade (cutting position). NOTE: • When laser line is dim and almost or entirely invisible because of the direct sunlight in the indoor or outdoor window-by work, relocate the work area to a place not exposed to the direct sunlight.

Aligning the laser line (Fig. 20)

Laser line can be shifted to either the left or right side of the blade according to the applications of cutting. Refer to explanation titled “Laser beam action” regarding its shifting method.

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection.

• Use wood facing against the guide fence when aligning the cutting line with the laser line at the side of guide fence in compound cutting (bevel angle 45 degrees and miter angle right 45 degrees). A) When you obtain correct size on the left side of workpiece • Shift the laser line to the left of the blade. B) When you obtain correct size on the right side of workpiece • Shift the laser line to the right of the blade. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the laser line.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Socket wrench storage (Fig. 21)

The socket wrench is stored as shown in the figure. When using the socket wrench, pull it out of the wrench holder. After using the socket wrench, return it to the wrench holder.

Installing or removing saw blade

CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade. • 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 an injury. Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the stopper pin. (Fig. 22) 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. (Fig. 23) Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 24) To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle, making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (lefthanded) securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. Return the blade guard and center cover to its original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover. Release the handle from the raised position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before making cut. (Fig. 25 & 26)

If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece (Fig. 28)

WARNING: • It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop. CAUTION: • When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top surface level of the turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/ or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Vertical vise (Fig. 29)

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod. Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise. Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob. CAUTION: • The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 30)

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise. The maximum width of the workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm. CAUTION: • Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the topmost position. Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.

Holders and holder assembly

(optional accessories) (Fig. 31 & 32) The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a convenient means of supporting workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and the holder assembly. When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder assemblies and two rods 12. CAUTION: • Always support long workpieces level with the top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin. • Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on. • Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed. • Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired. • During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) (Fig. 33)

Workpieces up to 50 mm high and 97 mm wide can be cut in the following way. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position. CAUTION: • Firmly tighten two clamping screws which secure the slide poles clockwise so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may result. 2.

Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

(Fig. 34) Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position. CAUTION: • Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PERSONAL INJURY. • Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin. • Never loosen the clamp screw which secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious injury. 3. Miter cutting Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter angle”.

4. Bevel cut (Fig. 35)

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

7. Wood facing (Fig. 37)

Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence using the holes in the guide fence. See the figure concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.

• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. • During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop. • When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

8. Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 38)

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length, ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use of the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown in the table. Miter angle

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.

6. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 36) When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent buildup of the aluminum material on the blade. CAUTION: • Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.

• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing. • 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. • 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.

• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm approximately. 9. Groove cutting (Fig. 39) 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 on 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. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of control and injury may result. CAUTION: • Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original position when performing other than groove cutting.

Carrying tool (Fig. 40 & 41)

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully. Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage toward the guide fence fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry the tool more easily. CAUTION: • Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool. • Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.

MAINTENANCE Adjusting the position of laser line (Fig. 49 & 50)

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

For model LS0714FL, LS0714L WARNING:

• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.

Adjusting the cutting angle

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory, but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following: 1. Miter angle Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten two clamp screws to secure the carriage. Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using the socket wrench. (Fig. 42) Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in the order from the right side. (Fig. 43) Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0°. (Fig. 44) 2. 1.
