Using the Makita LH1201FL is a breeze. First, plug it into a 240v power source. When you need to adjust the table height, just loosen the levers and turn the knob. This makes it easy to set up for different jobs. To make miter or bevel cuts, adjust the angles according to your needs, ranging from 47° left to 52° right for miter cuts and 0° to 45° left for bevel cuts. The built - in LED job light and laser guide will help you see clearly and cut accurately. When starting the saw, use the soft start feature to avoid sudden jolts. Remember, it has an anti - restart function, so you need to turn it on each time. And when you're done cutting, the electric brake will stop the blade quickly. As for maintenance, keep the saw clean after each use. Wipe off any sawdust or debris. Check the double insulation regularly to ensure safety. If you're cutting different thicknesses of materials, use the removable guide rule for better results. With proper use and care, your Makita LH1201FL will serve you well for a long time.
