OPERATION
USING THE LASER GUIDES
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
Do not stare into the laser beams or turn the lasers on
when the tool is not in use. Failure to heed this warning
could result in possible serious personal injury.
The laser guides will generate a red colored laser beam
on the work surface in front of and behind the saw when
turned on. The front laser aids in following the line of cut
when cutting the workpiece.
The rear laser aids in aligning
plunge cuts and following the kerf when exiting the
workpiece.
NOTE:
The laser units come from the factory already installed
and aligned. If the lasers become misaligned after time, refer
to the
Adjustments
section later in this manual.
n
Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.
n
Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.
n
Plug the tool into a power supply and press the laser
guide button to activate the laser.
n
Start the motor.
NOTE:
Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the
saw has reached maximum speed.
n
Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE:
Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the
workpiece for precision cutting.
n
Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a
complete stop before turning off the laser.
n
Unplug the saw.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 17.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It
is parallel with the saw blade and you can use it to measure
the distance into the material the blade cuts.
NOTE:
Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is
set at full maximum depth.
