Makita BLS820 MAINTENANCE

6. Cutting repetitive lengths

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,

ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8”) to 365 mm (14-3/8”), 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.

NOTE:

•Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)

allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm (7.2 ft.)

approximately.

Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed. Secure the

blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle

fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position

by pushing in the stopper pin.

Carry the tool by carrying grip 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 CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.
