Laser Safety - Evolution R255 SMS-DB Notice Originale

ON/OFF switch for the Laser Guide is positioned
on the left side of the cutting handle. (Fig. 44)
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam,
and do not use on material that could reflect the
laser beam.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser
beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately
stare into the beam. Please observe all of the
following safety rules.
• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed
at personnel and must be prevented from being
directed towards the eyes of a person.
• Always ensure that the laser beam is used only
on work-pieces that have non-reflective surfaces,
i.e natural wood or matt surfaces etc.
• Never exchange the laser module assembly for
a different type or class of laser.
• Repairs to the laser module must only be
conducted by Evolution Power Tools or their
authorized agent.
Note: The laser guide can be a very useful facility,
particularly when a large number of work-pieces
are to be cut.
However the laser Guide should not be regarded
as a substitute for good conventional planning
and marking out.

LASER SAFETY

The laser guide line used in this product uses
a class 2 laser with a maximum power output
of 1mW at a wave length of between 650nm.
These lasers do not normally present an optical
hazard, although staring at the beam may cause
temporary flash blindness.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser
beam. The laser must be used and maintained
as detailed in this manual. Never intentionally
aim the laser beam at any person and prevent
it from being directed towards the eye, or
an object other than the work-piece. Always
ensure that the laser beam is directed at the
work-piece only when it is located on the mitre
saw table.
Never direct the laser beam onto any bright,
shiny reflective surface, as the laser beam could
be reflected back towards the operator. Do not
change the laser unit for any other type.
Do not tamper with the laser unit. Only touch

the unit when making adjustments. Repairs
to the laser shall only be carried out by an
authorised service centre.
The laser guide line
The projected laser guide line shows the centre of
the cut the blade will make. To use the laser guide:
• Mark the cut required on the work-piece using
a pencil, etc.
• Set the saw to the cutting angle required and
lock into position using the mitre locking
handle and/or the positive stop locking lever.
• Switch on the laser beam.
• Position the work-piece on the rotary table and
against the fence.
• Slide the work-piece into position until the
pencil line on the work-piece and the projected
laser line exactly match.
• Clamp the work-piece into position using the
hold down clamp.
• Proceed to make the cut.
To use the laser guide for an unknown angle:
• Mark the position of the cut to be made on the
work-piece using a pencil etc.
• Place the work-piece on the rotary table and
against the fence.
• Adjust the mitre saw to give the approximate
angle of cut. Do not tighten the mitre lock
handle at this stage.
• Slowly slide the work-piece backwards
and forwards along the fence, whilst at the
same time slowly adjusting the angle of the
rotary table.
• Stop when the projected laser line and pencil
line on the work-piece match exactly.
• Tighten the mitre lock handle to lock the rotary
table in place.
• Secure the work-piece with a hold down clamp.
• Recheck the alignment.
• When satisfied that alignment is accurate
proceed to make the cut.
The laser lens cap
The laser lens cap is a simple push fit onto the
front of the laser unit. If it becomes damaged or
opaque for any reason it can be replaced.
Carefully pull the lens from the laser unit and
replace with a new lens.
