TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS
WARNING:
Cuttinghead must return quickly to the full
up position. Sluggish or incomplete return of the
cuttinghead will effect lower guard operation possibly
resulting in personal injury.
1. Before cutting, make certain that the cutting arm and table are at
their correct settings and firmly locked in place.
2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly
against the fence. The optional clamp (A) Fig. 30 can also be
used on the right side of the machine.
3.
WARNING:
If the position or size of the workpiece causes
your hand to be in the “Hazard Zone”, use the work clamp to
secure the workpiece. Keep your hands out of the “Hazard
Zone”.
4. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
5. Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly
against the fence and table).
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
WARNING: When performing multiple or repetitive
operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch or less),
the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and project them
out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing,
causing damage or injury. To limit the risk, mount an auxiliary
wood fence on your saw (Fig. 31).
Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) Fig.
31. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately
1/2 in. thick by 3 in. high by 20 in. long.
NOTE:
The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in
the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). When you bevel cut (blade
tilted), remove the auxiliary fence.
MACHINE USE
The battery-operated laser unit (AA batteries not included) is mounted
in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw
(Fig. A). (To insert the batteries, remove the screw (C) Fig. B, and
slide the battery cover (D) from the handle.) The laser projects a
beam of light downward. This beam of light produces a red line-of-cut
indicator, where the saw blade will cut the workpiece. The laser unit is
aligned at the factory and secured in place. A test cut has been made
with each saw to verify the laser setup. If your saw becomes
misaligned or you desire additional precision, use the following
guidelines to fine tune your laser miter saw.
HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT
Make sure the saw is set to 0 degrees miter and bevel and clamp a 2
in.x 4 in. board on the saw. Create a partial/test cut in the workpiece
(Fig. C). Turn the laser “ON/OFF” switch (A) Fig. B) to the “ON”
position. Leave the workpiece clamped in place for the remainder of
the adjustment.
WARNING:
Place and lock a padlock with a 3/16 in. shackle
(B) Fig. B through the hole in the trigger switch to prevent accidental
motor startup.The padlock MUST remain in place during the
adjustment procedure.
The laser line is properly positioned when the beam of light falls on
the cut created by the blade (Fig. D).
TO CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the line does not
move horizontally (sideways) as the cutting head is raised and
lowered. If the vertical alignment is correct, disregard this section
and move to “To set kerf adjustment”.
2. If the vertical alignment is not correct, turn the kerf adjustment
screw one half turn, clockwise. Remove the screws on both
sides of the laser unit cover (Fig. A). Remove the cover.
