Mitre table locks

The mitre table locks (15)
are used to lock the table
at the desired mitre angle
(fig. D).
The mitre saw cuts from 0°
to 45° both left and right. To
adjust the mitre angle loosen
the mitre table locks and
rotate the mitre table to the desired position. The mitre
table features positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°
and 45° for quick setting of common mitre angles.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre table locks before
making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

Bevel lock

The bevel lock (7) is used to
set the blade at the desired
bevel angle (fig. E). The
mitre saw bevel cuts from
0° to 45° to the left. To
adjust the bevel angle loosen
the bevel lock and adjust
the saw arm to the desired
bevel angle.
WARNING. Be sure to tighten the bevel lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving
during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

Rotating lower
blade guard
The rotating lower blade

Turning on the REDEYE® laser line generator
The REDEYE® laser line
generator emits an intense
narrow beam of pure red
light to guide you as you cut.
It improves operator cutting
vision, enables faster set-
up, increases accuracy and
improves safety. To turn on
the laser line press the laser
light on/off switch (25)
(fig. I). To turn off the laser
press the laser light on/off switch (25) one more time.
