OPERATION
See Figure 52.
The laser guide will generate a red line on the work
surface when the saw blade is spinning above 500
rpm and the motor switch is activated.
For Cross Cuts, Miter Cuts, Bevel Cuts, and
Compound Cross Cuts:
Position the workpiece as described in the Operation
section. Turn the saw on and position the blade
directly behind the fence; align the laser line with your
mark.
For Non-Through Cuts:
Position the workpiece as described in the Operation
section. Turn the saw on and align the laser line with
your mark.
ALIGNMENT
Align the laser line and your mark with the blade.
Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the
workpiece until after you have finished cutting.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and
thickness of material.
Follow the directions below for using your Laser
Guide.
Removing Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark
on the work surface in order to remove the mark.
To Cut Your Mark:
Position the laser line near or over your mark on the
work surface in order to cut the mark.
To Leave Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark
on the work surface in order to leave the mark.
After you have become familiar with using your Laser
Guide, you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your
mark on the work surface. Practice will teach you the
correct position for aligning the laser line with your
mark.
