ON/OFF Trigger Switch (Fig. 10)

This machine is equipped with a safety start trigger switch.

To start the machine:

• Push in the safety lock button on the side of the handle with

your thumb.

• Depress the main trigger switch to start the motor.

wARNiNG:

Never start the saw with the cutting edge of the

saw blade in contact with the workpiece surface.

Chip Collector

This machine is fitted with a chip collector to capture metal
chips. The chip collector cover plate is provided with a
transparent ‘window’ so that the operator can see the contents
and empty when necessary.

wARNiNG:

The chip collector is very efficient and must be

checked and emptied at regular intervals.

When cutting steel the chip collector can become hot.
Care must be taken when handling the chip collector.

To remove and empty the chip collector:

•  Loosen the chip collector thumb screw.
•  Ease the chip collector from the machine.
•  Empty the contents of the chip collector by tipping the

collector and machine upside down over a suitable waste
container, allowing the contents to fall out.

Note:

To maintain operational efficiency we recommend that

the collector is emptied when approximately 60% full. Dispose
of the contents of the chip collector in an environmentally
responsible manner.

• Replace the Chip Collector and securely tighten the thumb screw.

Line of Cut Guide Slots

Guide slots are provided at the front of the saw base plate. The
right slot is used to follow a line when making a 90-degree cut.
The left slot is used to follow a line when making a 45-degree cut.

Laser Guide System

This machine is fitted with a laser guide system, which is intended as
a guide only and should not be relied upon for the accuracy of a cut.

necessary, by means of the adjustment screw on the LH side of
the laser module housing.

LASER SAFETy

The laser guide line used in this product uses a class 2 laser
with a maximum power output of 1.5mW at a wavelength of
between 635 and 670nm. 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
workpiece. Always ensure that the laser beam is directed at the
workpiece only and never at another person or animal.

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.
