Kerf plate adjustment (Fig. 12)
The tool is equipped with a sight guide for straight cutting
(18)
and for 45° miter cutting
(19).
Be sure the saw is unplugged.
Adjust the kerf plate as described below.
Align the left edge of the guides
(18)
or
(19)
with the
cutting line.
Keep the kerf plate aligned with the cutting line while sawing.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
Adjusting the kerf plate
Plug in the saw.
Make a test cut halfway through a piece of scrap wood.
Withdraw the saw so the cutting line becomes visible.
While keeping the saw in this position, unplug the saw
and loosen the kerf plate on the saw shoe.
Align the 0° mark
(18)
on the kerf plate with the cutting
line. When adjusting for 45° miter cuts, align the 45° mark
(19)
on the kerf plate with the cutting line.
Secure the kerf plate using the screw
(20).
Warning! LASER RADIATION. Never aim the beam at a
workpiece with a reflective surface.
Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended
for laser use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back
toward the operator.
Danger! LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE
EXPOSURE.
Do not stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or object other than the
workpiece. Laser light can damage your eyes.
Warning! DO NOT use tinted glasses to enhance the
laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for the
application and interfere with the normal operation of the tool.
Laser switch (Fig. 13)
To turn the laser on, push forward on the laser on/off switch
(2)
to activate the laser line
(21)
as shown in
Fig. 13.
To use the laser line
Mark the line that you intend to cut on the workpiece.
Adjust the depth and angle of cut as required.
Push the laser on/off switch
(2)
to the forward
“ON”
position and project the laser beam.
Depress the saw trigger switch
(1)
and allow the blade to
reach maximum speed.
Place the saw shoe on the workpiece. Align the laser line
with the mark on the workpiece and slowly push the saw
forward keeping the laser line on the mark.
Upon completion of the cut, release the trigger and allow
the saw blade to come to a complete stop before
switching off the laser.
SAWING
Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
always hold the tool with both hands.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
