Using the laser line generator

WARNINGS

Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than 

the workpiece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel and ensure 

that it is not directed towards the eye of a person for longer 

than 0.25 second.
Always ensure the laser beam 

is aimed at a sturdy workpiece 

without reflective surfaces. 

Wood or rough coated 

surfaces are acceptable. 

Bright shiny reflective surfaces 

are not suitable for laser use 

as the reflective surface could 

direct the beam back at the 

operator.
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (26) 

after finishing a job. Only turn the laser beam on when the 

workpiece is on the mitre saw table.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the cut as required.
3. Switch on the laser light on/off switch (26) (Fig. t).
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using the laser lines to 

align the blade with the pencil mark on the workpiece.

4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION.

 Do not use cleaning agents to clean the  

plastic parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth  

is recommended.
