  • Page 17 LASER USE AND ADJUSTMENTS The TwinLaser™ laser units are mounted in a housing that is fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The lasers project a beam of light downward, along both sides and parallel to the saw blade. This beam of light produces a line- of-cut indicator (a red outline of where the saw blade will cut) on the workpiece.
  • Page 18 Fig. J. Do not use solvents of any kind since they may damage the lens. Avoid touching sharp points of saw blade with your hands or fingers. Dust build-up can block the laser and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of cut.
