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 (2)
after finishing a job. Only turn the laser beam on when
the workpiece is on the mitre saw table.
1. Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece.
2. Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the cut as
required.
3. Switch on the laser light on/off switch (2).
4. Clamp the workpiece in position using the laser lines to
align the blade with the pencil mark on the workpiece.
NOTE. To cut to the left-hand side of the blade, align the
left-hand laser line with the pencil mark. To cut to the
right-hand side of the blade, align the right-hand laser line
with the pencil mark.
5. Plug in the machine and start the motor.
6. Press the release latch (36).
7. When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately
2 seconds), lower the blade through the workpiece.
8. After completing the cut, switch off the laser light on/
off switch (2).
9. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (1) as
described below:
• Switch off the laser light switch (2) and then remove
the plug from the power point.
• With the saw arm (5) in the raised position, use a soft
brush to dust away the sawdust build-up around the
assembly.
NOTE. Wear eye protection whilst brushing the dust away.
