ADJUSTING THE LASER LINE
(FIG. QQ)
WARNING
!
The laser line is emitted when the
laser guide is turned on. Do not stare
into beam or look directly at it using
optical instruments. Do not remove
the warning label that is affixed to the
blade guard. Do not direct the laser
into the eyes.
NOTE: All of the adjustments for the
operation of this machine have been
carried out at the factory. Occasional
readjustments may be necessary as a
result of normal wear and use.
1. Turn the laser guide on. Place a
straight edge or ruler against the
right side of the blade.
2. Verify whether the laser line is flush
against the right side of the blade,
and against the straight edge or ruler.
3. If the laser line is not flush, loosen
the two set screws (1) using a small
flat bladed screwdriver that is not
provided, but do not remove them.

4. Use the 5 mm hex wrench that is
not provided, adjust the laser unit (2)
until the laser line is parallel with
the blade.
NOTE: Be careful not to over-
rotate the laser unit. Do not rotate
the laser more than 1/8 of a turn in
either direction.
5. Adjust the set screws (1) on the
left or right side in order to shift the
laser line until it is flush with the
right side of the blade. Once proper
alignment has been achieved,
tighten the set screw on the other
side slowly, until it touches the
laser, in order to lock the laser into
position. Turn the laser line off.
NOTE: If additional alignment is
required, use thin flat washers (not
provided) by placing them between the
riving knife and the mounting bracket.
Refer to the section of "Aligning the
riving knife" on page 36.
