LASER ADJUSTMENT FOR
255mm (10”) EU MODEL ONLY
WARNiNG:
At no time during this procedure should the
motor be started.
The Laser Module is held in a ‘mounting block’, The ‘mounting
block, itself is located within the machine on two (2) sprung
loaded socket headed screws.
By loosening the cross headed screw
(Fig. 8a)
slightly, the Laser
Module can be rotated slightly within the “mounting block’. This
will enable the operator ensure that the projected laser line is
set at the vertical.
The two (2) socket headed screws
(Fig. 8b)
should be viewed
and be adjusted as a pair. They enable the projected laser line
to be aligned exactly with the path of the blade as it enters the
machines table.
To check Laser alignment:
• Place the cardboard laser jig
(Fig. 8c)
onto the rotary table.
• Lower the Cutting Head and trace the path of the blade
across the cardboard jig by sliding the Cuitting Head forward
and backwards.
• Position the cardboard so that the ‘Path of the Blade’ as marked
on the jig exactly matches the actual path of the blade.
• Fix the cardboard jig in position by using masking tape or similar.
Turn on the Laser.
• If the projected laser line exactly matches the ‘Path of the
Blade’ both across the table and also in the vertical axis, no
further action is required.
projected laser line not vertical:
• Loosen the cross-head screw and gently rotate the laser
module within its mounting block until the laser line is vertical.
• Retighten the screw and recheck.
projected laser line not aligned with
the ‘path of the Blade’ across the table:
• Adjust the two socket head screws alternately by no
more than a ¼ of a turn in either direction, observing the
movement of the projected laser line.
• When the projected laser line matches the ‘Path of the Blade’
adjustment has been achieved.
Note:
The above adjustments & alignments should be checked
on a regular basis to ensure laser accuracy.
Note:
The following WARNING labels
may be found on this machine:
LASER RADiATiON
DO NOT STARE iNTO ThE BEAM
CLASS 2 LASER pRODUCT
LASER SAFETY
The Laser guide line used in this product uses a class 2 Laser with a
maximum power output of 1mW 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.
