Adjusting the laser line
The laser is factory set to emit
a laser line along the middle
of the blade.
To adjust the position of the
laser, proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the laser light
with the laser on/off
switch (25) (fig. b).
2. Using a Phillips head
screwdriver loosen the 2
screws securing the laser
light assembly (24)
(fig. c).
3. Adjust the laser assembly
until the laser line is
in the desired position
– centred with the blade
(fig. d), to the left of the
blade or to the right of
the blade.
4. Switch off the laser light.

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
(25) 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 (25).
4. Place the workpiece in position using the laser lines to
align the blade with the pencil mark on the workpiece.
5. Plug in the machine and start the motor.
6. Press the release latch (17).
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 (25).
9. After each use, clean the laser light assembly (24) as
described below:
• Switch off the laser light switch (25) and remove the
plug from the power point.
• With the saw arm (1) 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.
