3. Rotate the miter table (9) until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale (13).
4. Retighten the miter lock (10).
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the miter lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table
moving during the cut, causing serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (17) and pull out the 0º
bevel adjuster (31) and move the saw arm (34) to the left or
right to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º ). Tighten the bevel lock (17).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (8). 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 (14), a roller
stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (18) to secure the workpiece wherever possible. Never use more than ONE clamp.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (18) by loosening the clamp assembly lock (16) 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 (1) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (28). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
12. Release the switch trigger (28) 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.
Adjusting the laser line
The laser is factory set to the center of the blade width. To adjust the position of the laser,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the laser cover by pulling it towards you.
2. Switch on the laser light with the on/off switch (27) (Fig. 45).
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not supplied), adjust the position of the laser line
by turning the laser pitch control (Fig. 46).
4. Adjust until the laser hits the centre of the blade.
5. Switch off the laser light.
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 (27) after finishing a job. Only turn the laser beam on when
the workpiece is on the miter saw table.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the angle of miter and bevel of the cut as required.
3. Switch on the laser light on/off switch (27).
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using the laser line to align the blade with the pencil mark on the workpiece.
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 (27).
8. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (6) as described below:

Switch off the laser light switch (27) and then remove the plug from the power point.

With the saw arm (34) in the raised position, use a soft brush to dust away the sawdust build-up around
the assembly.
Note: Wear eye protection while brushing the dust away.
