Support the work piece
WARNING: Never use the help of another person as a substitute for a table
extension, as support for a work piece that is longer or wider than the basic mitre
table. Never have another person help feed, support, or pull the work piece instead of
using table extensions.
•
Use the fence.
Align the work piece flush against the fence. This
will help to eliminate the tendency of the blade
teeth to bind. The fence can be used to support
mitre, bevel, and compound cuts.
•
Use the work-piece clamp (included).
The work-piece clamp fits into the clamp
mounting holes on the back of the fence. Securely
clamp the work piece to the mitre table. (See Fig.
23.)
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. Danger from reflected
light.
•
Only have the laser repaired by qualified service technicians.
•
Do not insert hard objects into the laser lens.
•
Clean the laser lens with a soft, dry brush.
Before starting a cut, draw the
desired cut line on the work
piece.
1. Press the laser ON/OFF
switch (Fig.1, point 19)
forward to start.
2. Align the left side of laser
line with the right side of
cut line. The blade will cut
the line marked out on
wood piece.
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. 24)
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.
