11. Working with the crosscut and mitre saw
WARNINGS
-
Do not look directly into the laser beam. Never direct the laser beam at people or objects
other than the workpiece.
- Do not deliberately point the laser beam at people.
- Only point the laser beam at insensitive workpieces with a dull surface. Wood or rough
surfaces are ideal for this. Shiny, reflective surfaces are not suitable for using a laser since
the laser beam could be directed at the user by the reflective surfaces.
-
Always switch off the laser when you have finished work at the ON/OFF switch for the laser
light (2). Only switch on the laser beam if there is a workpiece on the mitre sawbench.
-
Mark the cutting line on the workpiece.
-
Adjust the mitre and vertical angle for the cut as required.
NOTE: To make a cut to the left of the saw blade, direct the left laser line along the pencil mark.
To make a cut to the right of the saw blade, direct the right laser line along the pencil mark. (B17)
1. NORMAL SAWING
1) Insert the mains plug into the socket. Switch on the ON/OFF switch for the laser light (2).
(B11)
2) Clamp the workpiece and align the saw blade along the mark on the workpiece using the
laser line and then switch on the motor.
3) Press the release switch (34). (B18)
4) Lower the sawing arm.
5) Press the ON/OFF switch (23). (B19)
6) When the saw blade has reached its maximum speed (after around 2 seconds), lower it
slowly through the workpiece. (B20)
Press the sawing head backwards away from you as far as possible. (B21)
Switch off the ON/OFF switch for the laser light (2) after you have completed the cut.
7) Raise the sawing arm (5) and remove the saw dust on the laser using a soft brush.
NOTE: Wear safety goggles and breathing apparatus to remove the saw dust.
2. CROSS CUTS (WITHOUT DRAG FUNCTION) (B22)
The drag function is not required for sawing narrow pieces of wood. Always make sure in these
cases that the drag lock (28) is secure so that the sawing arm cannot slide backwards and
forwards.
1) A cross cut is made across the grain of the workpiece.
A 90° cross cut is carried out by setting the mitre bench to 0°. For mitre cross cuts the bench
must be set to an angle other than zero.
2) Release the mitre angle lock (24).
Turn the mitre bench (21) until the pointer points to the required angle.
Tighten the mitre angle lock (24) again. WARNING. The mitre angle lock must be tightened
before the cut is carried out. Otherwise the bench can move during sawing which can result in
serious injuries.
Place the workpiece flat on the bench with one edge securely against the guide rail (18). If the
board is curved place the side curving outwards against the guide rail (18). If the side which
