Transporting - Skil 3821 Owner's Manual

Laser Cutline™
Your miter saw is equipped with a laser cut line system to help identify where the blade will
contact the workpiece. The laser line has been adjusted to the center of the blade. You
should make a practice cut into a scrap piece of wood so you know exactly where to place
your workpiece.
The tool power cord must be plugged in, but you do not have to activate the trigger to use the
laser. The Laser Cutline™ can be turned on or off by using the switch 24 shown on page 16.
Note: the laser maybe less effective on taller workpieces because of the angle at which the
laser is mounted. This is normal and cannot be adjusted.
