Laser Adjustment; Permanently Mounting The Mitre Saw - Evolution F255 SMS Instructions D'origine

• Mark the cut required on the work-piece
using a pencil, etc.
• Set the saw to the cutting angle required
(45˚) 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 (if fitted)
If fitted 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.

LASER ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: At no time during this procedure
should the motor be started.
To check laser alignment:
• Place a piece of cardboard, or similar, onto
the rotary table of the machine.
• With the carriage slide in the rearmost
position, lower the cutting head so that a
blade tooth makes a mark in the cardboard.
• Allow the cutting head to rise, and then
repeat the above with the carriage slide in an
approximate mid- way position.
• Again repeat, but with the carriage slide
moved to its most forward position.
• With the cutting head raised, turn on the
laser and slide the cutting head backwards
and forwards to observe if the projected laser
beam is in line with the marks previously
made:
• Beam is aligned with the marks = No further
action required.
• Beam is not parallel with the
marks = Follow section A.
• Beam is parallel but not aligned with the
marks = Proceed to section B.
A. If the laser beam is not parallel to
the marks proceed as follows:
• Loosen the clamping screw. (Fig.41a)
• Carefully rotate the laser module, until
the line is parallel with the marks in the
cardboard.
• Re-tighten the clamping screw.
• Recheck the alignment.
B. If the laser beam is parallel with the marks,
but not going through them:
• Slacken the two screws. (Fig. 41b)
• The laser mounting block can now be moved
sideways to align the laser beam with the
marks made in the cardboard.
• When the laser beam is in the correct place,
re-tighten the two screws.
• Repeat procedure 'A' to check alignment.
Note: The above adjustments & alignments
should be checked on a regular basis to ensure
laser accuracy.

PERMANENTLY MOUNTING
THE MITRE SAW
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected
saw movement, place the saw in the desired
location either on a workbench or other
suitable machine stand. The base of the saw
has four mounting holes through which
suitable bolts (not supplied) can be placed to
