Using the REDEYE® 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 work piece.

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 work piece 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.

1.Mark the line of cut on the workpiece.

2.To start the saw lift up the on/off switch (1).

3.Adjust the speed to suit the workpiece being cut.

4.Switch on the laser beam using the laser light on/off switch (2).

5.Line up the laser line with the line on the workpiece

6.To begin the cut guide the wood into the moving saw blade.

7.Switch off the laser beam on completion of the cut.

8.Once finished push the on/off switch down to turn off the saw and unplug the tool from the power point to prevent unauthorised use.

Maintenance

WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making and adjustments or maintenance procedures.

An occasional coat of paste wax on the work table will allow the wood being cut to glide smoothly across the work surface.

Oiling the arm bearings

The saws arm bearings should be lubricated after every 50 hours of use. Ensure plug is removed from the mains power supply.

1.Turn the saw on its side.

2.Squirt a generous amount of SAE 20 oil around the shaft end and bronze bearings.

3.Let the oil soak in overnight in this position.

4.Next day repeat the above procedure for the opposite side of the saw.

Cleaning

2.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a brush or a rag.

3.Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.

4.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the saw.
