• Check that the Cutting can be locked in the
down position by the head latching pin.

THE SLIDING UPPER FENCE SECTION

(Fig. 37)
The Left Hand side of the machines Fence
has an adjustable Upper section. This
section can slide to the left by a maximum of
approximately 4 inches.
Note: To prevent the Sliding Upper section
from being removed completely (and thus
possibly being lost) the Sliding Upper section
is 'captive' on the Lower Fence.
Adjustment may be necessary when certain
acute bevel or compound angles are selected
to provide clearance for the moving cutting
head and blade as a cut is made.
To adjust the sliding fence:
• Loosen the thumbscrew. (Fig. 38)
• Slide the upper section of the Fence
leftwards to the required position and
tighten the thumbscrew.
• Conduct a 'dry run' with the power off
to confirm that there is no interference
between moving parts as the cutting head
and blade are lowered to make a sliding cut.

THE LASER

This machine is equipped with a laser cutting
guide. This allows the operator to preview the
path of the blade on the work-piece. The ON/
OFF switch for the laser Guide is positioned on
the right side of the cutting handle (Fig. 62).
The laser guide is positioned underneath the
cutting head behind the blade. (Fig. 39).
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 matte 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 miter
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˚ miter):
• 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 miter
locking handle and/or the positive stop
locking lever.
