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 path of
the blade during a cut. To use the laser guide for
a known angle (e.g. 45˚ mitre):
• 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.
