LASER LINE 

Gently depress the laser switch to activate the laser line.

 

 
LASER APERTURE 

When the laser line is switched on, an intense narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from 
the laser aperture. The line shines along the workpiece in order to guide you as you cut. The 
line is clearly visible, and will not be obscured by sawdust. 

 

 

WARNING: 

Always verify that the saw is switched off and unplugged form the power 

supply before making any adjustments. 

 
PARALLEL CUTS 

The parallel fence guide allows you to make parallel 
cuts in a sheet of wood, all at the same width. 
 
1.  Unscrew the setting screw, and slide the fence 

guide into the slot in the base plate, as shown in 
Fig.5. 

2.  Adjust the guide to the required width, according to 

the scale. Do not forget the width of the blade. 

3.  Tighten the setting screw. 
 

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH 

1.  Loosen the depth locking lever, as shown in Fig.6. 
2.  Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the 

workpiece, and lift the body of the saw until the 
blade is at the right depth. The saw teeth must 
project 2 mm out of the wood. 

3.  Tighten the depth locking lever. 
 

 

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE 

1.  Loosen the angle locking knob, which is located at 

the front of the base plate. 

2.  Tilt the body of the saw until the required angle is 

reached, using the 0

45

°

 bevel gauge as a guide. 

3.  Tighten the locking knob in order to secure the 

base plate.
