Makita LS711D Maintaining maximum cutting capacity, Stopper arm

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting

capacity for a 190 mm (7 - 1/2”) saw blade.

When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit

position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:

First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage toward

the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use

the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periph-

ery 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 battery cartridge removed, 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. Re-adjust

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

battery cartridge removed.

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 posi-

tion when lowering the handle fully.
