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.
To check laser alignment:
• Place a piece of cardboard, or similar, onto the
rotary table of the machine.
• With the carriage slide in the rearmost position,
lower the cutting head so that a blade tooth
makes a mark in the cardboard.
• Allow the cutting head to rise, and then
repeat the above with the carriage slide in an
approximate mid- way position.
• Again repeat, but with the carriage slide moved
to its most forward position.
• With the cutting head raised, turn on the laser
and slide the cutting head backwards and
forwards to observe if the projected laser beam
is in line with the marks previously made:
• Beam is aligned with the marks = No further
action required.
• Beam is not parallel with the
marks = Follow section A.
• Beam is parallel but not aligned with the marks
= Proceed to section B.
A. If the laser beam is not parallel to
the marks proceed as follows:
• Loosen the clamping screw. (Fig.41a)
• Carefully rotate the laser module, until the line
is parallel with the marks in the cardboard.
• Re-tighten the clamping screw.
• Recheck the alignment.
B. If the laser beam is parallel with the marks, but
not going through them:

• Slacken the two screws. (Fig. 41b)
• The laser mounting block can now be moved
sideways to align the laser beam with the
marks made in the cardboard.
• When the laser beam is in the correct place,
re-tighten the two screws.
• Repeat procedure 'A' to check alignment.
Note: The above adjustments & alignments
should be checked on a regular basis to ensure
laser accuracy.

PERMANENTLY MOUNTING
THE MITRE 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 mitre 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
saw so that other people or bystanders cannot
stand too close (or behind) it.
• Locate the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the work-piece.
• Support the saw so the machine table is level
and the saw does not rock.
• Bolt or clamp the saw securely to its support
stand or workbench.
Note: This machine can be attached to the
Evolution Mitre Saw Stand. (Fig. 44). This will
provide a safe secure, and extremely portable
workshop stand which is capable of handling
long pieces of material. Operator efficiency and
safety may thus be enhanced, as well as operator
fatigue reduced.
