ALIGNING THE LASER BEAM
(FIG.T, T-1 & T-2)
IAk WARNING I
For your own safety, never connect the plug to
power source outlet until all the adjustment steps
are complete and you have read and understood the
safety and operational instructions.
The laser beam must always be correctly aligned with
the blade to ensure straight, even cutting.
Your saw is equipped with a Dual View Laser
Trac ®system. The laser beam projects a line onto the
workpiece for viewing at both top and front angles of the
board.

line.
3. Check to see that laser beam is aligned from top to
bottom of pattern line. If laser beam is not aligned
