LASER SAFETY
The Laser guide line used in this product uses
a class 2 Laser with a maximum power output
of 1.5mW at a wave length of between 635 and
670nm. These lasers do not normally present an
optical hazard, although staring at the beam may
cause temporary flash blindness.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the Laser
beam. The laser must be used and maintained
as detailed in this manual. Never intentionally
aim the laser beam at any person and prevent
it from being directed towards the eye, or
an object other than the workpiece. Always
ensure that the laser beam is directed at the
workpiece only when it is located on the mitre
saw table.
Never direct the laser beam onto any bright,
shiny reflective surface, as the laser beam
could be reflected back towards the operator.
Do not change the laser unit for any other type.
Do not tamper with the laser unit. Only touch
the unit when making adjustments. Repairs
to the laser shall only be carried out by an
authorised service centre.
THE LASER GUIDE LINE
The projected laser guide line shows the path
of the blade during a cut.
To use the laser guide for a known angle
(e.g. 45
0
):
• Mark the cut required on the workpiece
using a pencil etc.
• Set the saw to the cutting angle required (45
0
)
and lock into position using the mitre locking
handle and/or the positive stop locking lever.
• Switch on the laser beam.
• Position the workpiece on the rotary table
and against the fence.
• Slide the workpiece into position until
the pencil line on the workpiece and the
projected laser line exactly match.
• Clamp the workpiece into position using
the hold down clamp.
• Proceed to make the cut.
To use the laser guide for an unknown angle:
• Mark the position of the cut to be made
on the workpiece using a pencil etc.
• Place the workpiece on the rotary table
and against the fence.
• Adjust the mitre saw to give the
approximate angle of cut. Do not tighten
the mitre lock handle at this stage.
• Slowly slide the workpiece backwards and
forwards along the fence, whilst at the
same time slowly adjusting the angle of
the rotary table.
• Stop when the projected laser line and
pencil line on the workpiece match exactly.
• Tighten the mitre lock handle to lock the
rotary table in place.
• Secure the workpiece with a hold down clamp.
• Recheck the alignment.
• When satisfied that alignment is accurate
proceed to make the cut.
The Laser Lens cap (if fitted)
If fitted the laser lens cap is a simple push fit
onto the front of the laser unnit.
If it becomes damaged or opaque for any
reason it can be replaced.
Carefully pull the lens from the laser unit and
replace with a new lens.
