1. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece without reflective surfaces Mirror tiles or the like are not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator Only turn laser beam on when the tool is on the workpiece 1 Mark the line of the cut on the workpiece 2 Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required 3 Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece 13 4 Switch on the laser beam using the laser light on off button 4 Fig U 5 Align the beam with the line on the workpiece Fig V 6 Start the motor by pressing the lock off button 3 and squeezing the trigger switch 2 7 Always let the blade reach full speed approximately 2 seconds before you begin to cut into the workpiece 8 Slowly push the saw forward using both hands keeping the red laser light beam on the line of cut 9 After completing your cut release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop Do not remove the saw from the work piece while the blade is moving 10 Switch off the laser beam on completion of the cut Making a cut 1 Mark the line of cut on the workpiece 2 Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required 3 Rest the front edge of the base plate 12 on the workpiece Make sure that there is no contact between the blade and the workpiece Fig W 4 Start the motor by pressing the lock off button 3 and squee2. back to completely enclose the blade Selecting the correct blade WARNING It is very important from a safety point of view to use the correct blade The timber cutting blade should only be used for sawing timber and timber products It must not be used for tile cutting Fig D 11 Similarly the tile cutting blade Fig E should only be used for wet cutting tiles and the water cooling system 24 must always be correctly dispersing water onto the wet cutting tile blade as it grinds through the tile Note Neither the tile disc blade nor the water cooling system should be used for timber cutting Changing the disc blade CAUTION Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments WARNING Always ensure the correct blade is fitted for the specific task at hand NEVER use the timber cutting blade to cut tiles and similarly NEVER use the wet cutting tile blade to cut timber IMPORTANT Always remove the water cooling system before cutting timber 1 Place saw on its side on a flat surface 2 Rotate the saw blade by hand whilst depressing the spindle lock button 15 until the blade locks Fig F 3 Whilst depressing the spindle lock button turn the blade bolt clockwise using the hex key 17 Fig G 4 Remove the washer outer blade flange and the blade bolt 9 Raise the lower blade guard 22 using the lever 23 6 Remove the saw blade fr
