USING THE LASER GUIDE SYSTEM
Warning! Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the miter and/or bevel angles of the cut as required.
3. Before clamping the workpiece in position using the vertical vise, turn on the
laser guide system Fig.17 and align the line of cut on the workpiece with the
laser guide.
4. Plug in the machine and start the motor.
5. When the blade is at its maximum speed ( approx. 2 sec.) lower the blade
through the workpiece.
6. Switch off the laser guide system on completion of the cut.
ADJUSTING LASER GUIDE SYSTEM
If your laser guide does not seem to be aligned with the blade kerf, a small
adjustment can be made.
1. Loosen cap screw on both sides of the laser guide.
2. Place a scap pièce of wood on the table and clamp it. Lower blade against
the wood piece.
3. Align the laser beam with the saw blade (blade kerf) and retighten the cap
screws.

CHANGING BATTERIES

The laser guide system supplied with your miter saw is battery operated (AAA
batteries not included). Only turn on the laser guide system after you have placed
and are about to clamp the workpiece on the table. To change the batteries:
1. Open the laser battery cover Fig.18.
2. Replace both AAA batteries.
3. Close the battery cover.

MAINTENANCE

All the ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life and will require no
maintenance.
Cleaning
• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with cloth or the like.
Keep the safety cover clean . Lubricate the sliding portions with machine oil
to prevent rust.
• When storing the tool, pull the slide toward you fully so that the slide pole is
thoroughly inserted into the turn base.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other mainte-
nance or adjustment should be performed by your nearest authorized service
center.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly (normally after 50 hours of
use). Replace when they wear down to the limit mark (A) Fig.19. Keep the
carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes
should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon
brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
