THE LASER

This machine maybe equipped with a laser
cutting guide. This allows the operator to
preview the path of the blade through the
work-piece. The ON/OFF switch for the laser
Guide is positioned on the top of the cutting
head near the mains cable entry point. (Fig.
40)
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam,
and do not use on material that could reflect
the laser beam.
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 matt 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 mitre 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˚ mitre):
• 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 mitre
locking handle and/or the positive stop
locking lever.
• Switch on the laser beam.
• 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 mitre saw to give the approximate
angle of cut. Do not tighten the mitre 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 mitre lock handle to lock the rotary
