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. Press the release latch (35).
7. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately
2 seconds), lower the blade through the workpiece.
8. After completing the cut, switch off the laser light on/off
switch (2).
9. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (1) as
described below:
• Switch off the laser light switch (2) and then remove the
plug from the power point.
• 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.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making
and adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
