LED shadow light
WARNING
Do not stare into the light
beam (not even from a
distance) .
Staring into the light beam may
result in serious injury or vision loss.
NOTICE:
The miter saw must be connected to
a power source for the Shadow Light System
to function.
The LED Shadow Light System is equipped
with an ON/OFF switch (Fig.36). Power to the
Shadow Light System is independent of the
miter saw trigger switch. The Shadow Light
does not need to be turned on to operate the
saw.
To cut through an existing pencil line on a
piece of wood, turn on the Shadow Light System, then pull down on the operating handle to
bring the saw blade close to the wood. The shadow of the blade will appear on the wood.
This shadow line represents the material that the blade will remove when performing a cut.
To correctly locate your cut to the pencil line, align the pencil line with the edge of the blade’s
shadow. Keep in mind that you may have to adjust the miter or bevel angles to match the
pencil line exactly.
