2. Bevel angle

1) 0° bevel angle

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and

tighten the knob to secure the carriage. Lower the

handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by

pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever at the

rear of the tool. Make sure that the arm is locked.

(Fig. 49)

Turn the hex bolt on the left side of the arm two or

three revolutions counterclockwise. Turn the hex bolt

on the right side of the arm two or three revolutions

counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the left. (Fig. 50)

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. 51)

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. 52)

2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 53)

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. 54)

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. 55 & 56)

For model LS1013L 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.
