TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS

WARNING: Cuttinghead must return quickly to the full

up position. Sluggish or incomplete return of the

cuttinghead will effect lower guard operation possibly

resulting in personal injury.

1. Before cutting, make certain that the cutting arm and table are at

their correct settings and firmly locked in place.

2. Place the workpiece on the table and hold or clamp it firmly

against the fence. The optional clamp (A) Fig. 30 can also be

used on the right side of the machine.

3. WARNING: If the position or size of the workpiece causes

your hand to be in the “Hazard Zone”, use the work clamp to

secure the workpiece. Keep your hands out of the “Hazard

Zone”.

4. For best results, cut at a slow, even cutting rate.

5. Never attempt freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly

against the fence and table).

AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE

WARNING: When performing multiple or repetitive

operations that result in small cut-off pieces (one inch or less),

the saw blade can catch the cut-off pieces and project them

out of the machine or into the blade guard and housing,

causing damage or injury. To limit the risk, mount an auxiliary

wood fence on your saw (Fig. 31).

Holes are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence (A) Fig.

31. This auxiliary fence is constructed of straight wood approximately

1/2 in. thick by 3 in. high by 20 in. long.

NOTE: The auxiliary fence (A) is used ONLY with the saw blade in

the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). When you bevel cut (blade

tilted), remove the auxiliary fence.

MACHINE USE

The battery-operated laser unit (AA batteries not included) is mounted

in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw

(Fig. A). (To insert the batteries, remove the screw (C) Fig. B, and

slide the battery cover (D) from the handle.) The laser projects a

beam of light downward. This beam of light produces a red line-of-cut

indicator, where the saw blade will cut the workpiece. The laser unit is

aligned at the factory and secured in place. A test cut has been made

with each saw to verify the laser setup. If your saw becomes

misaligned or you desire additional precision, use the following

guidelines to fine tune your laser miter saw.

HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT

Make sure the saw is set to 0 degrees miter and bevel and clamp a

2 in. x 4 in. board on the saw. Create a partial/test cut in the

workpiece (Fig. C). Turn the laser “ON/OFF” switch (A) Fig. B) to the

“ON” position. Leave the workpiece clamped in place for the

remainder of the adjustment.

WARNING: Place and lock a padlock with a 3/16 in. shackle

(B) Fig. B through the hole in the trigger switch to prevent accidental

motor startup.The padlock MUST remain in place during the

adjustment procedure.

The laser line is properly positioned when the beam of light falls on

the cut created by the blade (Fig. D).

TO CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the line does not

move horizontally (sideways) as the cutting head is raised and

lowered. If the vertical alignment is correct, disregard this section

and move to “To set kerf adjustment”.

2. If the vertical alignment is not correct, turn the kerf adjustment

screw one half turn, clockwise. Remove the screws on both

sides of the laser unit cover (Fig. A). Remove the cover.

3. Use the 1/8 in. hex wrench to turn the vertical alignment set
