Laser Alignment System

1

Your miter saw is equipped with a laser alignment system to help identify where the blade will contact the work piece. The laser line has been adjusted to the center of the blade. You should make a practice cut into a scrap piece of wood so you know exactly where to place your workpiece.

The tool power cord must be plugged in, but you do not have to activate the trigger to use the laser. The laser alignment system can be turned on or off by using the switch 24 shown on page 8.
