English
(2) Checking laser line alignment (Fig. 15)
(a) Set the saw to a 0° miter and 0° bevel setting.
(b) Use a combination square to mark a 90° angled running
across the top of a board. This line will serve as the
pattern line to adjust the laser. Place the board on the
saw table.
(c) Carefully lower the saw head down to align the saw blade
with the pattern line. Position the saw blade to the left,
side of the "pattern line" depending on your preference
for the laser line location. Lock the board in place with
the hold-down clamp.
(d) With the saw plugged in, turn on the laser guide. Your
saw has been preset with the laser line to the left side of
the blade.
(e) Lower saw blade to pattern line and if blade is not fl ush
with the pattern line, adjust as follow the instructions
listed below under "Adjusting the angle of the laser line"
paragraph and "Aligning the laser line" paragraph.
(3) Adjusting the angle of the laser line (Fig. 16, 17)
(a) After sliding the motor head forward, remove two rivets
on two sides of the laser housing and take the laser
housing off to reveal the laser marker. (Fig. 16)
(b) Turn the laser marker in the desired direction to adjust
the laser angle. (Fig. 17)
NOTE
Do not adjust the laser more than ¼ turn in either
direction as this may damage the laser.
(4) Aligning the laser line. (Fig. 16, 18)
(a) Loosen only ½ turn at a time the four set screws.
(Fig. 18)
(b) Adjust laser marker by turning the left side set screws
clockwise to shift the laser line to the right. To shift the
laser line to the left, turn the right side set screws ½ turn
at a time.
(c) Once alignment of the laser is achieved, tighten only ½
turn at a time the four set screws.
(d) After fi nishing the laser adjustment, replace the laser
housing on the laser marker and then tighten the two
rivets. (Fig. 16)
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
WARNING
○ To avoid personal injury, never remove or place a
workpiece on the table while the tool is being operated.
○ Never place your limbs inside of the line next to warning
sign while the tool is being operated (see Fig. 19). This
may cause hazardous conditions.
CAUTION
○ It is dangerous to remove or install the workpiece while
the saw blade is turning.
○ When sawing, clean off the shavings from the turntable.
○ If the shavings accumulate too much, the saw blade from
the cutting material will be exposed. Never subject your
hand or anything else to go near the exposed blade.
NOTE
Prior to operating the switch, make sure to check the
stability of the tool by setting the angle and turn to
conduct a trial cutting run without using a workpiece.
1. Switch operation (Fig. 20)
(1) Turning the saw on
This miter saw is equipped with a trigger switch. Squeeze
the trigger switch to turn the miter saw ON. Release the
trigger switch to turn the saw OFF.
(2) Turning the laser guide on
Press the laser switch to turn it ON, and press again to
turn it OFF.
WARNING
Make the ON/OFF switch childproof. Insert a padlock,
or chain with padlock, through the hole in the trigger
and lock the tool's switch, preventing children and other
unqualifi ed users from turning the machine on.
2. Using the Vise Assembly (Standard accessory)
(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on the base.
(2) Turn the vise lock knob and securely fi x the vise
assembly.
(3) Turn the upper knob and securely fi x the workpiece in
position (Fig. 21).
NOTE
When using the vise, make sure that the tool is free of
any excessive contact when the unit is swing or slide.
WARNING
Always fi rmly clamp or vise to secure the workpiece to
the fence; otherwise the workpiece might be thrust from
the table and cause bodily harm.
3. Cutting Operation
(1) As shown in Fig. 22 the width of the saw blade is the
width of the cut. Therefore, slide the workpiece to the
right (viewed from the operator's position) when length
ⓑ is desired, or to the left when length ⓐ is desired.
If a laser marker is used, align the laser line with the left
side of the saw blade, and then align the ink line with the
laser line.
(2) Once the saw blade reaches maximum speed, push the
handle down carefully until the saw blade approaches
the workpiece.
(3) Once the saw blade contacts the workpiece, push the
handle down gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4) After cutting the workpiece to the desired depth, turn the
power tool OFF and let the saw blade stop completely
before raising the handle from the workpiece to return it
to the full retract position.
CAUTION
Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the
cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
effi ciency.
WARNING
● Confi rm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the
power plug has been removed from the receptacle
whenever the tool is not in use.
● Always turn the power off and let the saw blade stop
completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating,
the cut-off piece may become jammed against the saw
blade causing fragments to scatter about dangerously.
● Every time one cutting or deep-cutting operation is
fi nished, turn the trigger switch off , and check that the
saw blade has stopped. Then raise the handle, and
return it to the full retract position.
● Be absolutely sure to remove the cut material from the
top of the turntable, and then proceed to the next step.
● Continued cutting operation can result in overload of the
motor. Touch the motor and if it's hot, stop your cutting
operation at once and rest for 10 minutes or so, and then
restart your cutting operation.
4. Cutting wide workpieces (Slide cutting)
(1) Workpieces up to 65 mm high and 280 mm wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob (see Fig. 1), grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide the saw blade
backward to cut the workpiece as indicated in Fig. 23.
This facilitates cutting of workpieces of up to 65 mm in
height and 280 mm in width.
(2) Workpieces up to 54 mm high and 305 mm wide:
Workpieces of up to 54 mm in height and up to 305 mm
in width can be cut in the same manner as described in
paragraph 4-(1) above on page 34.
