Subject to technical modifications. GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS h. Never start a tool when any rotating component is in contact with the workpiece. [. . . ] Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating. WARNING A 305 mm blade is the maximum blade capacity of the saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury. NOTE: Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle locks. Avoid direct eye contact with light source. ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE See Figure 12. The laser guide will generate a colored line on the work surface when the blade is spinning. The laser line will appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade assembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch is activated. This broken line will let you see your mark and your laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up your mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece. With the saw blade in the uppermost position, align the laser line with your mark. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting. NOTE: As the saw blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the broken line will become solid. 5. 6. 6 line will drift away from the mark as the saw blade gets closer to the workpiece. Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness of material. To remove your mark: Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the work surface in order to remove the mark. To leave your mark: Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on the work surface in order to leave the mark. After you have become familiar with using the laser guide, you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for aligning the laser line with your mark. Prior to squaring the saw blade to the fence, check and align the mitre lock lever. The blade must be set at an "unindexed" mitre position other than 0°, 15°, 22. 5°, 31. 6°, and 45° to test. In the "locked" position, the action of pushing the mitre lock lever down should feel tight and secure. [. . . ] NOTE: Aperture in laser guide cover must be aligned with aperture in laser guide support. SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES See Figures 27 - 28. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and mitre table during the cutting operation. NOTE: When making a compound mitre cut, it may be necessary to adjust or remove the sliding mitre fence to insure proper clearance prior to making the cut. When cutting wide workpieces, boards should be clamped with the work clamp. [. . . ]
