WARNING: Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause

cancer, birth defects or other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:

 Lead from lead-based paints

 Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products

 Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your level of risk from exposure to these chemicals will vary, according to how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work

in a well-ventilated area and use approved safety equipment such as dust masks

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

Always wear eye protection.

Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes, which could cause

permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that

comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses only have

impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.

WARNING: Glasses or goggles that do not comply with ANSI Z87.1 could

cause serious injury if they break.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

DANGER: The laser light beam that is projected from the front of the laser

level can be dangerous to eyesight. Never allow anyone to stare directly into the

light. Staring directly into the light beam may result in serious eye damage.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all of the

instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal

injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well-lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in a

potentially explosive environment, such

as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust. Power tools create sparks,

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped

with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit into a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized

outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

Double insulation eliminates the need for

the three-prong grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system.

Avoid contact between your body and

grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering the power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out

of an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat,

oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.

Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an outdoor extension cord marked

“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for

outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric

shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use the tool when

tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating a power tool

could result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery.

Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving

parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Verify that the

switch is in the OFF position before

plugging the tool in. Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in

tools that have the switch in the ON

position invites accidents.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

POWER TOOL SAFETY

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

before turning the tool ON. A wrench or

key that is left attached to a rotating part of

the tool could result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance allows for better control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. A dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, a hardhat or hearing protection

must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or another practical means

to secure and support the workpiece to

a stable platform. Holding the work in your

hand or against your body is not stable and

may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct

tool for your application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the speed

that it was designed to work at.

Do not use the tool if it cannot be turned

ON or OFF by the power switch. Any tool

that cannot be controlled using the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power

source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories or storing the

tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

When not in use, store tools out of

reach of children and other untrained

persons. Tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, broken parts and any

other condition that may affect the

operation of the tool. If it is damaged,

have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are

recommended for your model by the

manufacturer. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tools must be serviced by qualified

personnel only. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel could

result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the Maintenance section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance instructions

may result in a risk of electric shock or

injury.

could cause serious injury if they break.

Always wear hearing protection and a

dust mask. Dust and high-pitched noise

created when using this high-speed saw

can damage your hearing and lungs.

Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose

clothing.

Always keep hands out of the path of the

saw blade. Avoid awkward hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause your hand

to move into the path of the saw blade.

Do not cut material too small to be

securely held.

Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vice

to hold the work when practical. Both

hands are required to operate the tool.

Make sure there are no nails or foreign

objects in the area of the workpiece to be

cut.

To avoid injury from accidental starting,

always remove the plug from the power

source before making any adjustments or

installing / removing a saw blade,

accessory or attachment.

DANGER: The laser light beam

that is projected from the front of the

laser level can be dangerous to

eyesight. Never allow anyone to stare

directly into the light. Staring directly

into the light beam may result in serious

eye damage.

DANGER: Never use the laser

level in the presence of small children.

Small children may stare directly into the

laser light beam causing serious eye injury.

WARNING: Keep the extension

cord clear of the working area. Position

the cord so that it will not get caught on

the workpiece, tools or any other

obstructions while you are working with

the power tool.

Make sure any extension cord that is

used with this tool is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to

use one that is heavy enough to carry the

current that the tool will draw. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage which will result in loss of power

and overheating.

The table on the following page shows the

correct size to be used according to cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. When

in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number the heavier the

cord.

LEVELING LASER BEAM

The laser level can be used in both

horizontal and vertical positions. To confirm

the tool is “level”, shim the front or rear until

the spirit level bubble (1) is centred

between the lines on the sight glass (2)

(see Fig. 14). To raise one end of the level,

place shims (3) under the “low” end until

the bubble in the sight glass indicates a

“level” position.

SELECTING LASER BEAM TYPE

The laser beam can be set to two different

types.

Single dot

To create a single dot laser beam, slide the

light diffuser (1) upward (see Fig. 15).

Horizontal line

To create a horizontal laser line, slide the

light diffuser (1) downward (see Fig. 16).

MITRE GAUGE

The laser level can be used in conjunction

with the mitre gauge for marking the cutting

line on a workpiece. This is particularly

handy when marking ceramic tiles.

Although the mitre gauge can be used as a

guide for marking any workpiece, ceramic

tiles have been used for illustrative

purposes.

1. Turn level up side down see (Fig. 17).

2. Insert mitre gauge pivot pin (1) into the

matching hole in the level.

3. Place flat edge of mitre gauge (2)

against flat side of the workpiece (3).

4. Rotate the level on the mitre gauge

pivot pin to the correct angle.

NOTE: For precise mitre angles, the

ball in the mitre gauge will engage with

the detent in the level at the most

commonly used angles (15, 30, 45, 60,

75 & 90°).

5. Use either a grease pencil or scribing

tool to mark the cutting line in the

appropriate location.

NOTE: Most ceramic tiles can be

marked with the grease pencil. This is

the preferred method of marking. If the

grease pencil will not mark a specific

type of tile, use the scribing tool

supplied.
