THE LASER -TRAC _
Your tool is equipped with our latest innovation,
the Laser -Tree_, a battery powered device using
Class TI][a laser beams. The laser beams will
enable you to preview the miter blade path on the
workpteea to be cut before you begin your
operation,
Laser is activated when blade is rotating Do not stare
into beam or view directly with optical instruments, Do
not remove the warning label affixed to the blade
guard. Avoid direct eye contact with light source.
NOTE .The red laser line wilt appear as a dotted line
when the motor is activated and the blade assembly is
in the uppermost position. This b?oken line will assist
you in aligning the mark on your workpiece with the
cutting path of the saw blade. As you lower the blade
assembly, the retractable guard will llft and turn the
broken line into a solid red laser line.
Laser Warning label: Max output <5roW DIODE
LASER: 630-670nm, Complies with 2 tCFR 1040.10
and 1040° 11.
