6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with
one edge securely against the fence (19).
If the board is warped, place the convex
side against the fence. If the concave side
is placed against the fence, the board
could break and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber,
support the opposite end of the timber
with the side bars (36), a roller stand
or a work surface that is level with the
saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure
the workpiece wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp
assembly (10) by loosening the clamp
assembly lock (11) and moving it to the
other side of the table. Make sure the
clamp assembly lock is tight before using
the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform
a dry run of the cutting operation to
check that there are no problems.
11. Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and
squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow
the blade to reach maximum speed and
slowly lower the blade into and through
the workpiece.
12. Release the switch trigger (24) and
allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the
workpiece. Wait until the blade stops
before removing the workpiece.
USING THE LASER LINE
GENERATOR
WARNINGS
Do not stare directly
at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam
at any person or an
object other than the
workpiece.
Do not deliberately aim the beam at
personnel and ensure that it is not directed
towards the eye of a person for longer
than 0.25s.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed
at a sturdy workpiece without reflective
surfaces. Wood or rough coated surfaces
are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
surfaces are not suitable for laser use as
the reflective surface could direct the beam
back at the operator.
Always remember to switch off the laser
on/off switch (2) after finishing a job. Only
turn the laser beam on when the workpiece
is on the mitre saw table.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the
workpiece.
2. Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the
cut as required.
3. Switch on the laser light on/off switch (2).
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using
the laser lines to align the blade with the
pencil mark on the workpiece.
NOTE. To cut to the left-hand side
of the blade, align the left-hand laser
line with the pencil mark. To cut to the
right-hand side of the blade, align the right-
hand laser line with the pencil mark.
5. Plug in the machine and start the motor.
6. When the blade is at its maximum speed
(approximately 2 seconds), lower the
blade through the workpiece.
7. After completing the cut, switch off the
laser light on/off switch (2).
8. After each use, clean the laser light
assembly (1) as described below:
9. Switch off the laser light switch (2) and
then remove the plug from the power
point.
10. With the saw arm (5) in the raised
position, use a soft brush to dust
away the sawdust build-up around the
assembly.
NOTE. Wear eye protection whilst
brushing the dust away.
WARNING! Always ensure that
the tool is switched off and the plug
is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
