laser line generator
WARNING. 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.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet
steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
Only turn the laser beam on when the workpiece is on
the tool.
1. Mark the line of cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the bevel angle, rip fence, mitre gauge and upper
blade guide as required.
3. Switch on the laser beam using the laser light
on/off switch.
