Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Vibration
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to 62841-3-9:
Model LS1019
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
Electrical Safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
Model LS1019L
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
3.
4.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).
5.
6.
7.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
EC Declaration of Conformity
Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
For European countries only
The EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex A
to this instruction manual.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
3
ENGLISH
2.
3.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
1.
Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
4.
5.
6.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
2.
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to
cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped
or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to
the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from
blade contact.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.
8.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
3.
4.
The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not
feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand"
in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could
be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not
pull the saw through the workpiece. To make
a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over
the workpiece without cutting, start the motor,
press the saw head down and push the saw
through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke
is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top
of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2.
3.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
5.
Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left
hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
4.
5.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
7.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
6.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proxim-
ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasp-
ing surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
4
ENGLISH
7.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be
no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specified in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury.
8.
9.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small
debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact
the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on
a level, firm work surface before use. A level
and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre
saw becoming unstable.
23. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to
EN847-1.
Additional instructions
11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence
is set correctly to support the workpiece and will
not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or
danger of cutting the fence.
1.
2.
Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
3.
4.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the blade guard into the open position.
12. Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
5.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support. Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
15. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods
or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while
being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
10. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by
first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
11. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting oper-
ation and the saw blade is driven rapidly
towards the operator. Loss of control and seri-
ous personal injury can result. If blade begins
to bind during a cutting operation, do not con-
tinue to cut and release switch immediately.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
5
ENGLISH
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a
stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool
where operator positioning would be awkward.
21. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON" position.
22. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
23. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
15. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
16. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
Additional safety rules for the laser
turn base in the lowest position.
1.
LASER RADIATION, DO NOT STARE INTO THE
BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS, CLASS 2M LASER PRODUCT.
17. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
18. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
19. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for
a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate
poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adher-
ence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction
manual may cause serious personal injury.
20. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
WARNING: Never defeat or remove the blade
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
may result in serious personal injury during operation.

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
WARNING: Never use the tool if the blade
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removed guard may result in serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece is
no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petro-
leum-based cleaners on the plastic guard because this may
cause damage to the guard.
►
1. Bolt
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the
guard is impaired, unplug the tool and use the supplied
wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover.
Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise
the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so
positioned, cleaning can be more completely and efficiently
accomplished. When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure
above and secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade
guard. If guard becomes discolored through age or UV light
exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard.

Securing workpiece
1
WARNING: It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
2
WARNING: After a cutting operation do not
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
3
4
WARNING: When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, the
material should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same height
to keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise
when lowering the handle all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Holders
WARNING: Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are pro-
vided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws and
extend the holders to the appropriate length for holding
the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.
NOTE: For a quick setting of workpiece, turning the
vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise
knob to be moved up and down. To secure the work-
piece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.

NOTICE: Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive pressure on the han-
dle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Press down handle
with only as much force as necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
WARNING: Never attempt to perform a slide cut
by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage
towards you while cutting may cause unexpected kickback
resulting in possible serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
WARNING: Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.
NOTICE: During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in
the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle
is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at the angle shown in the table.
WARNING: While making a bevel cut keep
hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the
blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade
path while cutting and contact with the blade will
result in serious personal injury
