Laser Adjustment; Permanently Mounting The Miter Saw - Evolution R255 SMS Notice Originale

• 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 miter saw to give the approximate
angle of cut. Do not tighten the miter 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 miter 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.
• With the carriage slide in the rearmost
position and the cutting head raised, turn on
the laser.
The laser will project across the rotary table.
• Using a test workpiece, draw a 90˚ line to the
fence with a set square or similar.
If the laser is not aligned with the cutting
line on the workpiece, action the following:
• Unscrew the two screws on the left hand side

and the single screw on the right hand side
of the laser until the screws are almost out of
their respective holes. (Fig. 40a)
• First push the laser body up enough for all
3 screws to be able to grip it in the follow
steps. Rotate the brass laser with a flat bladed
screwdriver or your fingers so it is parallel to
the line. It does not necessarily have to line
up right now, just getting it parallel is most
important. (Fig. 40b)
• Lightly screw in the right hand side screw to
hold the laser in position so it does not move
around, but the laser can still be manually
rotated. (Fig. 40c)
• If it's not parallel, loosen the right hand side
screw again and reposition.
• If the laser is to the left of the cutting line;
turn both of the left hand side screws very
slightly and watch the laser line move;
(Fig. 41a) if it starts to angle away from the line
or cut across the line, turn one of the screws to
level it up and maintain a parallel position on
the cutting line.
• Once the laser line is on the cutting line,
finally tighten up the right hand side screw
a little more. (Fig. 41b)
• If it is not correctly positioned, repeat the
above steps.

PERMANENTLY MOUNTING
THE MITER 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 secure the miter saw. If the saw
is to be used in one location, permanently fasten
it to the workbench using appropriate fastenings
(not supplied). Use locking washers and nuts on
the underside of the workbench. (Fig. 42)
• To avoid injury from flying debris, position the
