LASERS
This miter saw has a built-in laser light. This is a Class II
laser that emits a maximum output power of 635 nm 1 mW
wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an
optical hazard. However, do not stare into the beam.
Doing so can cause flash blindness.
CAUTION: The following label is affixed to your
tool. It indicates the location from which the saw emits
the laser light. Be aware of the laser light location
when using the tool. Always make sure that any
bystanders in the vicinity of use are made aware of the
dangers of looking directly into the laser.
WARNING: LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION.
Avoid direct eye exposure. Do not stare into the beam.
Only turn the laser beam on when the laser will shine
on a work piece.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified
in this manual may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
WARNING: The use of optical instruments to view
the laser beam, including but not limited to telescopes
or transits, will increase eye hazard.
• The laser should be used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacture’s instructions.
• Never aim the beam at any person or any object
other than the work piece.
• Always ensure that the laser beam is aimed at a
sturdy work piece without a reflective surface.
Wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright, shiny reflective surfaces are not suitable
for laser use, because the reflective surface
could reflect the beam back at the operator.
• Do not attempt to activate the laser when the
tool housing is removed.
• The laser is activated with a button switch that is
independent of the main switch for the saw.
• Do not replace the laser light assembly with a
different type. Any repairs must be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or a qualified service technician.
• Do not attempt to repair the laser guide by yourself.
• Do not attempt to change any parts of the laser guide.
OPERATOR’S GLOSSARY OF TERMS
• Bevel Cut: A cutting operation made with the blade
at any angle other than 90° to the miter table.
• Blade Flange: A ring or collar on a spindle or arbor
that permits other objects, such as a blade, to be
attached to it.
• Chamfer Cut: A cut that removes a wedge from a
block of wood so that the end (or part of the end)
is angled at more than 90°.
• Compound Miter Cut: A cut made using both a miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time.
• Crosscut: A cutting operation made across the grain
of the work piece.
• Freehand Cut: Performing a cut without using a fence,
miter gauge, fixture, work clamp, or other proper
device to keep the work piece from twisting or
moving during the cut. Do not perform any operation
freehand. Use a clamp or a vise whenever possible.
• Kerf: The material removed by the blade in a through
cut, or the slot produced by the blade in a non-through
or partial cut.
• Kickback: A hazard that can occur when the blade
binds or stalls, throwing the work piece back toward
the operator.
• Miter Cut: A cutting operation made with the blade at
any angle other than 90° to the fence.
