6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (18). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break
and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the side bars (34), a roller stand or
a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (9) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (9) by
loosening the clamp assembly lock (10) and moving
it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp
assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle (6) firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (23). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed and slowly lower the blade into and through
the workpiece.
12. Release the switch trigger (23) and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the
workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing
the workpiece.
Adjusting the laser line
The laser is factory set to the centre of the blade width.
To adjust the position of the laser, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the laser cover (3) by pulling it towards you.
2. Switch on the laser light
with the on/off switch (2).
3. Using a Phillips head
screwdriver (not supplied),
adjust the position of the
laser line by turning the
laser pitch control
(Fig. w).
4. Adjust until the laser hits the centre of the blade.
5. Switch off the laser light.
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 0.25s.
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 (2)
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 (2).
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using the laser line to
align the blade with the pencil mark on the workpiece.
5. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (1) as
described below:
•
Switch off the laser light switch (2) and then remove the
plug from the power point.
•
With the saw arm (4) in the raised position, use a
soft brush to dust away the sawdust build-up around
the assembly.
Note.
Wear eye protection whilst brushing the dust away.
