7. After cutting, allow the head to come back up. The blade guard closes
automatically.
8. The saw will stop when you release the trigger switch in the handle.
9. Turn the laser off when it is not in use, to conserve the batteries.
10. For storage, press the saw head downward and turn the saw head lock
knob 1/4 turn and allow it to extend and hold the saw head down.
MODES OF USE
Use of the laser cut guide in any of the following procedures is useful, but
optional.
CHOP CUT
A chop (or cross) cut is the most basic cut. When the blade from the miter
saw comes down it will be at exactly 90 degrees to both the table surface
and fence, so you'll be left with a perfectly straight cut.
1. Lock the head in the upright, 0º bevel position using the slip-lock saw
bevel locking lever (H, fig.3).
2. Using the miter angle lock lever (X, fig.1), lock the table rotation at 0º
miter.
3. Switch the machine on with saw head raised and wait until the saw
blade reaches its maximum speed.
4. Press the handle downwards slowly. Allow the blade to cut through the
material. Do not force the tool.
5. After you have finished cutting, release the trigger button and wait until
the saw blade stops completely, then raise the handle.
This is a good setting for simple crosscuts.
MITER CUT
A miter cut is one in which you're cutting across the width of the wood, so
the blade will still drop down vertically, perpendicular to the table surface,
but you'll be left with an angle other than 90 degrees to the board edge
(and fence).
Lock the head in the upright, 0
adjustment lever (H, fig.3).
6. The miter angle is set in two ways:
A. THE MITER angle lock lever (X, fig.12) holds the miter angle at one
°
of 9 positive stops

table base.
B. THE MITER angle lock lever (W, fig.12) allows the selection of any
point between these stops.
3. Pull up on the miter angle lock lever (X, fig.12) to release it- normally
with your index
finger, and using the miter setting handle (W, fig.1 &
2), rotate the table up to 45

4. Use either the miter angle lock lever (X, fig.12) at the positive stops or
the miter setting handle (W, fig.12) at any angle, screwing it tight to lock
the table at the desired position, especially at those angles between the
indexed positive stops.
5. Switch the machine on and wait until the saw blade reaches its
maximum speed.
6. Press the handle downwards slowly. Allow the blade to cut through the
material. Do not force the tool.
7. After you have finished cutting, release the trigger switch and wait until
the saw blade stops completely, then raise the handle.
This is a good setting for simple angle cuts.
COMPOUND CUT
A compound cut combines both the miter and bevel cut together, so you'll
be left with a cut that combines an angle in each of two different planes.
1. Loosen the miter angle lock lever
handle (W, fig.10), rotate the table up to 45

2. Use either the miter angle lock lever at the positive stops or the miter
setting handle, screwing it tight to lock the table at the desired position,
especially at those angles between the indexed positive stops.
