10. Plug in the saw and turn on the laser.
11. Align the pencil line in the center of
the dual laser line.
12. Use the hold-down clamp to secure the
workpiece against the miter-saw table
and fence.
13. When cutting a long workpiece, use
extra support to hold the long workpiece.
To avoid serious
personal injury, always keep hands
outside the “No-Hands Zone”, as marked
on the miter-saw table, or at least 3”
(7.6 cm) away from the blade. Also, never
perform any cutting operation “freehand”
(i.e.: without holding the workpiece
against the fence), because the blade
could grab the workpiece, causing it to
slip and twist.
Never use another
person as an additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the
miter-saw table, or to help feed, support,
or pull the workpiece.
14. Before turning the saw on, perform a trial
of the cutting operation by lowering the
saw arm to make sure no problems will
occur when the cut is made.
15. To turn the saw on, press the safety
lock-off button while pressing the
On/Off trigger switch located under the
handle. Allow several seconds for the
blade to reach maximum speed.
Always allow the blade
to reach full speed before lowering it into
the workpiece.
16. Slowly lower the blade into and through
the workpiece.
17. Release the safety lock and trigger
switch, and turn the laser switch off.
Allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the
workpiece.

FIG. 26
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
(fIG. 26 - 27)
To avoid kickback and
serious personal injury, never position the
concave side of bowed or warped
material against the fence.
When cutting warped material, be certain
that the material to be cut is positioned
on the miter table with the convex side
against the fence, as shown in fig. 24.
If the warped material is positioned the
wrong way (fig. 25), it will pinch the blade
near the end of the cut.
