Makita 2705 Saw User Manual


 
4
step instructions outlined in this manual.
Through sawing operations are those in which
the blade cuts completely through the top of
the workpiece as in ripping or cross cutting.
NEVER use the tool with a faulty blade guard
or secure the blade guard with a rope, string,
etc. Any irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
7. Immediately raise the riving knife/spreader to
the Spreader position and reattach the guard
assembly and side guards, after completing
an operation which requires removal of the
guarding.
8. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign material from the
workpiece before operation.
9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc. from
the table before the switch is turned on.
10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw blade.
12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to stand in
line with the path of the saw blade.
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
riving knife/spreader or workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let the tool
run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
15. NEVER make any adjustments while tool is
running. Disconnect tool before making any
adjustments.
16. Use a push stick when required. Push sticks
MUST be used for ripping narrow workpieces
to keep your hands and fingers well away from
the blade.
17. Pay particular attention to instructions for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a
sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade. KICKBACK causes the
ejection of the workpiece from the tool back
towards the operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid
KICKBACKS by keeping the blade sharp, by
keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade, by
keeping the riving knife/spreader, antikickback
pawls and blade guard in place for every
operation for which it can be used and
operating properly, by not releasing the
workpiece until you have pushed it all the way
past the blade, and by not ripping a workpiece
that is twisted or warped or does not have a
straight edge to guide along the fence.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or
miter gauge.
19. NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
NEVER reach for a workpiece until the saw
blade has completely stopped.
20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do
not bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If
you stall or jam the blade in the workpiece,
turn the tool off immediately. Unplug the tool.
Then clear the jam.
21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the blade
or touch the blade guard while the blade is
running.
22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
23. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
24. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
25. The side guards can be lifted during
workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning.
Always make sure that the side guards are
down and resting flat against sawtable before
plugging in the tool.
