6.Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
7.When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber with the side bars (32), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8.Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece wherever possible.
9.It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (10) by loosening the clamp assembly lock (11) and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.
10.Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that there are no problems.
11.Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze the switch trigger (24). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
12.Press the release latch (31) and slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
13.Release the switch trigger (24) and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
Adjusting the laser lines
The lower laser is factory set to emit a laser line along the
hand side of the blade. This q upper laser can be adjusted by the operator to suit blades of different kerf widths.
To adjust the position of the upper laser, proceed as follows:
1.Remove the laser cover by pulling it towards you.
2.Switch on the laser lights with the on/off switch (2) (Fig. q).
3.Using a Phillips head
screwdriver (not supplied), r
adjust the position of the line from the upper laser by turning the laser pitch control (4) (Fig. r).
4.Adjust until the
5.Switch off the laser lights.
Using the laser line generator
WARNINGS
Do not stare directly at the | s | |
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.
