the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.
Always remember to switch off the laser on/off switch (2)
after finishing a job. Only turn the laser beam on when
the workpiece is on the mitre saw table.
Mark with a pencil the line of the cut on the workpiece.
(Fig. 22)
Adjust the angle of mitre and bevel of the cut as required.
Switch on the laser light on/off switch (2).
Connect the tool to the power supply. (Fig. 23)
NOTE: To cut to the left-hand side of the blade, align the
left-hand laser line with the pencil mark. To cut to the
right-hand side of the blade, align the right-hand laser
line with the pencil mark.
Clamp the workpiece in position and start the motor.
(Fig. 24)
Press the release latch (37). (Fig. 25)
When the blade is at its maximum speed (approximately
2 seconds), lower the blade through the workpiece.
NOTE: After completing the cut, switch off the laser light
on/off switch (2). (Fig. 26)
After each use, clean the laser light assembly (1) as de-
scribed below: (Fig. 27)
▪ Switch off the laser at switch (2) and then remove the
plug from the power point.
▪ With the saw arm (5) in the raised position, use a soft
brush to dust away the sawdust build-up around the
assembly.
NOTE: Wear eye protection whilst brushing the dust
away.
CROSS-CUTTING (WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION)
When cutting a narrow piece of wood it is not necessary
to use the slide mechanism. In these cases ensure that
the slide lock (30) is screwed down to prevent the saw
arm from sliding. (Fig. 28)
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A 90º crosscut is made with the mitre table
set at 0º. Mitre crosscuts are made with the table set at
some angle other than zero.
Pull on the release knob (6) and lift the saw arm (5) to its
full height. (Fig. 29)
Loosen the mitre lock (26).
Rotate the mitre table (22) until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle.
Retighten the mitre lock (26). (Fig. 30)
WARNING: Be sure to tighten the mitre lock
before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in
the table moving during the cut and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (19). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence (19). If the con-
cave side is placed against the fence, the board could
break and jam the blade.
When cutting long pieces of timber, support the over-

hanging ends of the timber with the side extension arms
(38), a roller stand or a work surface that is level with the
saw table. (Fig. 31)
Use the clamp assembly (10) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (10) by loos-
ening the clamp assembly lock (11) and moving it to the
other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly
lock is tight before using the clamp. (Fig. 32)
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to check that there are no problems.
Hold the operating handle (7) firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (25). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed.
Press the release latch (37) and slowly lower the blade
into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger (25) and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the work-
piece. Wait until the blade stops before removing the
workpiece. (Fig. 33)
CROSS-CUTTING (WITH SLIDE ACTION)
When cutting wide workpieces, first unscrew the slide
lock (30). (Fig. 34)
Pull on the release knob (6), raise the saw arm (5) to its
highest position and slide it towards you.
Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger
(25). Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
Press the release latch (37) and slowly lower the blade
into the workpiece and slide it away from you at the same
time until the workpiece is cut.
Release the switch trigger (25) and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the work-
piece.
Wait until the blade stops before removing the work-
piece. (Fig. 35)
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece with the blade angled to the fence and mitre
table. The mitre table is set at the zero degree position
and the blade set at an angle between 0º and 45º to the
left or right.
Loosen the bevel lock (16) and for bevel angles greater
than 30º to the left or any angle to the right pull out the 0º
bevel adjuster (17).
Move the saw arm (5) to the left or right to the desired
bevel angle (between 0º and 45º).
Tighten the bevel lock (16).
Use the slide action when cutting wide workpieces. (Fig.
36)
To return the blade to the vertical (0º bevel) position,
move the saw arm to the left and push in the 0º bevel
adjuster (17).
Return the blade to the vertical position. It will automati-
cally stop at the 0º bevel position.
Tighten the bevel lock (16). (Fig. 37)
COMPOUND MITRE CUT
A compound mitre cut involves using a mitre angle and
a bevel angle at the same time. It is used in making pic-
