OPERATION
USING THE LASER GUIDES
See Figure 16.
WARNING:
Do not stare into the laser beams or turn the lasers on when the tool is not in use. Failure to heed this warning could result in possible serious personal injury.
The laser guides will generate a red colored laser beam on the work surface in front of and behind the saw when turned on. The front laser aids in following the line of cut when cutting the workpiece. The rear laser aids in aligning plunge cuts and following the kerf when exiting the workpiece.
NOTE: The laser units come from the factory already installed and aligned. If the lasers become misaligned after time, refer to the Adjustments section later in this manual.
nMark the line to be cut on the workpiece.
nAdjust the depth and angle of the cut as needed.
nPlug the tool into a power supply and press the laser guide button to activate the laser.
nStart the motor.
NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the saw has reached maximum speed.
nSlowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the workpiece for precision cutting.
nOnce the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a complete stop before turning off the laser.
nUnplug the saw.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 17.
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.
