ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged
before reconnecting saw into power source.
Never engage spindle lock button when blade is
rotating.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
WARNING:
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of
procedures other than those specified here can
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CUTTING A SLOT IN THE ZERO CLEARANCE
THROAT PLATE
In order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut
a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for
blade clearance. To cut the slot, set your saw at 0° bevel,
turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then
carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the
throat plate. Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before raising the saw arm.
Next, loosen the bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 48°.
Tighten the bevel lock knob. (It may be necessary to adjust
or remove the sliding miter fence to insure proper clearance
prior to making the cut.) Turn your saw on and allow the blade
to reach full speed, then carefully make another cut through
the zero clearance throat plate. The slot in the throat plate
will then be wide enough to allow the blade to pass through
it at any angle from 0° to 48°.
WARNING:
The laser guide is powered by the AC power sup-
plied to the saw. User must lock out the trigger
switch prior to aligning or performing any mainte-
nance on the laser. Failure to lock out the trigger
switch could lead to inadvertent actuation of the mi-
ter saw which could result in serious personal injury.
ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE
See Figure 14.
Lock out the trigger switch by installing a long shackled
padlock (not included) up to 9/32 in. diameter. Plug the saw
into the power source. Draw a line on the workpiece. When
the laser guide switch is turned on it will generate a red line
on the work surface. This line will let you see your mark and
the laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in
lining up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.
Align the laser line and the mark with the saw arm at the
uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do
not move the workpiece.
Remove the padlock. Make several practice cuts on different
styles and thickness of material. Repeat the steps above as
necessary.
Removing Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the
work surface in order to remove the mark.
To Cut Your Mark:
Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work
surface in order to cut the mark.
• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and
understand the operator's manual before using the
miter saw.
• Wear eye protection.
• Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
• Do not operate saw without guards in place.
• Do not perform any operation freehand.
• Never reach around the saw blade.
• Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
raising saw arm, moving workpiece, or changing
settings.
• Disconnect the saw from the power source before
changing blade or servicing.
