ADJUSTING THE LOWER BLADE
GUARD
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
This machine incorporates a blade guard (A) Fig. 27B to
cover the rear section of the blade. After an extended
period of use, the movable lower blade guard may not
operate smoothly when the cuttinghead is lowered. This
can be corrected by adjusting nut (B) until the lower blade
guard moves freely.
Overtightening the nut could impair
guard movement.
NOTE: This unit has been designed with an articulating
rear guard. Before contacting the workpiece, the rear
guard will rotate upward to expose more of the blade as
the cuttinghead is lowered.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE BLADE
GUARDS.
Make sure that all guards are in place
and functioning properly before operating the saw.
Make sure that the fences are clear of
the guard and blade before operating the saw.
LASER USE AND ADJUSTMENT
The battery-operated laser unit (AA batteries not included) is mounted in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade
guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). (To insert the batteries, remove the screw (C) Fig. B, and slide the battery cover (D)
from the handle.) The laser projects a beam of light downward. This beam of light produces a red line-of-cut indicator,
where the saw blade will cut the workpiece. The laser unit is aligned at the factory and secured in place. A test cut
has been made with each saw to verify the laser setup. If your saw becomes misaligned or you desire additional
precision, use the following guidelines to fine tune your laser miter saw.
HOW THE LASER WORKS
HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT
Make sure the saw is set to 0 degrees miter and bevel and clamp a 2"x 4" board on the saw. Create a partial/test cut
in the workpiece (Fig. C). Turn the laser “ON/OFF” switch (A) Fig. B) to the “ON” position. Leave the workpiece
clamped in place for the remainder of the adjustment.
Place and lock a padlock with a 3/16" shackle (B) Fig. B through the hole in the trigger switch to
prevent accidental motor startup.The padlock MUST remain in place during the adjustment procedure.
The laser line is properly positioned when the beam of light falls on the cut created by the blade (Fig. D).
