OPERATION
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 18.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It is parallel with the saw blade and you can use it to measure the distance into the material the blade cuts.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is set at full maximum depth.
USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 19.
WARNING:
Do not stare into the laser beam or turn the laser on when the tool is not in use. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. The laser unit comes from the factory already installed and aligned. If the laser becomes misaligned after time, refer to the Adjustments section.
� Mark the line to be cut on the workpiece.
� Adjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed. � Switch ON ( I ) the laser beam.
� Plug the tool into a power supply and start the motor.
NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the saw has reached maximum speed.
� Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the workpiece for precision cutting.
� Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a complete stop before turning off the laser.
� Unplug the saw.
