USING THE TWIN LASER GUIDE SYSTEM
The twin laser guide system is controlled by the laser guide push button switch
(A) Fig.14 and will only turn on when the miter saw is plugged into a power
source.
Warning! Do not stare directly into the laser beams.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the miter and/or bevel angles as required.
3. Before clamping the workpiece in position using the vertical vise, align the line
of cut on the workpiece with the laser guide beam on either side of the blade
kerf.
4. Start the motor.
5. When the blade reaches its maximum speed (approx. 2 sec.), lower the blade
through the workpiece.
ADJUSTING TWIN LASER GUIDE SYSTEM
If your laser guide does not seem to be aligned with both sides of the blade kerf,
a small adjustment can be made.
1. Remove the laser guide protective plastic cover.
2. Loosen pan head screws (A) Fig.15 next to each laser guide (B).
3. Place a scrap piece of wood on the table and clamp it. Turn on miter saw and
make a partial cut to indicate both sides of the blade kerf.
4. Turn both laser tips (B) until the laser beams are perfectly aligned with both
sides of the blade kerf, once aligned, hold laser tip and retighten pan head
screw (A) to prevent the laser dial from moving. Repeat for the second laser
tip.
5. Reinstall the laser guide protective plastic cover.
TURNING THE MITER SAW ON/OFF
This miter saw comes with a safety feature which is designed to reduce
accidental starts. The trigger (B) Fig.14 comes with 2 safety buttons (C) Fig.14,
one of these safety buttons must be pressed in order to engage the trigger and
turn the miter saw on. If safety button is not pressed, the trigger can not be
activated.
To stop the miter saw, simply release the trigger after your operation is finished.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
TO MITER CUT/CROSSCUT
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight
crosscut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter crosscuts are
made with the miter table set at an angle other than 0°.
NOTICE: It may be necessary to adjust the sliding fence to ensure proper
clearance prior to making the cut.
1. Slide the head assembly to its most rearward position and tighten the slide-rail
lock knob (A) Fig.16 securely.
2. Raise the head assembly to its full height by pulling and turning the saw head
release knob (A) Fig.17.
3. Set the bevel angle to 0°.
4. Set the miter angle to the desired position. Then tighten the miter lock knob to
secure the miter table (See Miter Cuts).
5. Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge securely against the
fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse
on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
