Aligning the blade
WARNING: Do not look into the laser line.
• Do not aim the laser line at people or animals.
• Do not use the laser line on highly reflective materials. Doing so creates a
danger from reflected laser light.
• Have the laser repaired only by a qualified service technician.
• Do not insert hard objects into the laser lens.
• Clean the laser lens using a soft, dry brush.
Before starting a cut, draw the desired cutting line on the workpiece.
1. Press the laser ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1, #19) forward to start.
2. Align the left side of laser line with the right side of cutting line. The blade
will cut the line marked out on the workpiece.
NOTE: The laser adjustment has
already been made at the factory.
Align the left side of the laser line
with the right side of the blade. Align
the user-marked line with the left
side of the laser line. (See Fig. 9)
Pay attention to body and hand
positions.
Proper positioning of the body and
hands when operating the Mitre Saw
will make cutting easier and safer.
Never place hands near the cutting
area.
Hold the workpiece firmly against the
fence. Keep hands in position until
the ON/OFF trigger switch has been
released and the blade has completely
stopped.
Starting the Compound Mitre Saw
WARNING: Always hold the cut-
ting handle firmly. The starting and
stopping action of the motor may
cause the handle to move up or down
slightly.
1. Plug the Compound Mitre Saw into a power-supply outlet.
