The
handy
rip
fence
allows
you
to
do
extra-
accurate straight
cuts.
Simply
slide
the
rip
fence
up
snugly
against the side of the
workpiece and secure it in position with the clamping
screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated
cuts of uniform width possible.
Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow
the
warnings and
instructions
may
result
in
serious
injury.
1.
Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m
(6.5 ft).
2.
Use only with lanyards appropriate for this
tool type and rated for at least 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs).
3.
Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components.
Anchor the tool lanyard to a rigid structure
that can withstand the forces of a dropped
tool.
4.
Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5.
Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged
or not functioning properly.
6.
Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7.
Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8.
Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls.
Dropped tools
will
swing
on
the
lanyard,
which
could
cause
injury
or loss of balance.
9.
Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery.
Failure
to
do
so
may
result
in
a
crush
or
entanglement
hazard.
10.
Do not carry the tool by the attachment
device or the lanyard.
11.
Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12.
Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way
that keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from
operating properly.
13.
Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14.
Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of
the tool.
15.
Use multi-action and screw gate type
carabineers. Do not use single action spring
clip carabineers.
16.
In the event the tool is dropped, it must be
tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or
Authorized Service Center.
