Product Overview
The 2000 series is the workhorse of our vertical panel saw line. It uses steel sleeves over plastic rollers to protect them from damage when heavy material sheets are dropped. Our modified Makita 7.25' Hypoid saw has a push - button safety switch. The hypoid saw has replaced the old worm - drive skill saw used in other panel saws. The worm - drive saw uses oil in a gear box for cooling and removing metal fragments. But on a panel saw tilted at 75 degrees, the oil can't properly cool the gears, and few people change the oil. The Hypoid saw offers the power of a worm drive without the need for oil, making it almost maintenance - free.
The 2000 series comes with the same accessory package as the Varsity and 1000 series, including a factory - attached folding stand, frame wheels, a spinning insert, an excellent dust - collection package, rip pointers, and measuring tapes with a stop and strip bar.
Using the 2000 Series Makita Hypoid Vertical Panel Saw is a breeze. First, make sure the saw is properly set up on its folding stand. Adjust the alignment using the Accu - Square system for precise cuts. Place the material on the steel - sleeved rollers and use the measuring tapes and rip gauges to position it accurately. When you're ready to cut, turn on the saw using the push - button safety switch. The spring - loaded counterbalance will help you lift the saw with ease. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. When not in use, store the saw in a dry place. Keep the dust - collection system clean to ensure good performance. Since the Hypoid saw doesn't need gear - box oil changes, you don't have to worry about that maintenance task. But do check the blade regularly for wear and tear, and replace it when needed. Also, make sure the bearings on the carriage are in good condition for smooth movement.
