TURNING THE SAW ON (Fig. Q)
To reduce the likelihood of accidental starting, a thumb
activated lock-OFF switch is located on top of the
switch handle. The safety lock-OFF button (1) must be
pushed forward before the trigger switch (2) can be
activated and the miter saw started.
Make the switch child-proof. Insert a padlock through
the hole (3) in the trigger switch and lock it. This will
prevent children and other unauthorized users from
turning the switch ON.
THE LASER -TRAC
®
Your tool is equipped with our latest innovation,
the Laser -Trac
®
, a battery powered device using
Class IIIa laser beams. The laser beams will
enable you to preview the miter blade path on the
workpiece to be cut before you begin your
operation.
Laser is activated when blade is rotating. Do not stare
into beam or view directly with optical instruments. Do
not remove the warning label affixed to the blade
guard. Avoid direct eye contact with light source.
NOTE
- The red laser line will appear as a dotted line
when the motor is activated and the blade assembly is
in the uppermost position. This broken line will assist
you in aligning the mark on your workpiece with the
cutting path of the saw blade. As you lower the blade
assembly, the retractable guard will lift and turn the
broken line into a solid red laser line.
Laser Warning label: Max output <5mW DIODE
LASER: 630-670nm, Complies with 21CFR 1040.10
and 1040. 11.
OPERATION OF LASER
With the blade assembly in the uppermost position:
1. Position your workpiece onto the miter saw.
2. Turn on the miter saw to activate the laser beam.
3. Verify the laser beam is aligned with the mark on
the workpiece (
WARNING -
Do not lower the blade
assembly during the alignment process).
4. If the mark on the workpiece is not aligned with the
dotted laser line, turn off machine, wait for the
blade to stop and reposition workpiece.
5. Turn on the miter saw and verify alignment.
6. Once alignment is achieved, secure workpiece
with a clamping device and perform the cut.
BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. P)
Proper positioning of your body and hands when
operating the miter saw will make cutting easier and
safer. Never place hands near the cutting area. Position
hands at least 7-1/4” away from the path of the blade.
Hold workpiece firmly against the fence to prevent
movement toward the blade. Keep hands in position
until the trigger has been released and the blade has
completely stopped. Before making a cut, with the
power switch in the OFF position bring the saw blade
down to the workpiece to see the cutting path of the
blade.
Keep children away. Keep all visitors a safe
distance from the miter saw. Make sure
bystanders are clear of the miter saw and
workpiece.
Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer
at its designed rate. Feed the saw into the
workpiece slowly with a firm downward motion.
Before freeing jammed material:
Turn switch OFF.
Unplug the miter saw.
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
After finishing a cut, keep holding the upper
blade assembly in the down position.
Release the switch, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands.
If the blade doesn’t stop within 6 seconds, unplug
the saw and follow the instructions in
