ADJUSTABLE LASER LINE GUIDE
When adjusting the laser
line guide you will need to
have the saw plugged into a power source.
Pay attention to the placement of the saw
blade with respect to your hands and body
and avoid accidental actuation of the
power switch. Accidental start-up of the saw
may cause injury.
Your tool is equipped with a laser line guide
that will turn on whenever the tool is plugged
in and the laser button is pushed in (Fig. 1).
The two laser lines are set to the kerf of the
blade supplied and indicate the outer edges of
the blade. If you use a blade with a different
kerf the laser lines will need to be adjusted to
match the kerf of the new blade. You should
adjust the laser lines to whichever side of the
blade the user would prefer the cut line to be
on. The laser guide does not need to be
adjusted for bevel cuts after it is aligned for
straight 90° cuts.
If using the laser line guide for cutting you do
not need the line guide incorporated in the foot
as it may be in a different setting than the
laser line guide.
The laser light guide is a class IIIA laser with a
maximum output power of 5.0 mWatts and
conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
TO ADJUST: Use a flat head screwdriver to
turn the adjustment screw located on the side
of the laser module (Fig. 9). Turn on the laser
line guide by pressing the safety switch and
rotate the adjustment screw until the laser line
is aligned. There is no need to power the saw
"on" while adjusting the light beam.
The Laser line guide has a limited amount of
travel. Do not continue to turn the adjustment
screw after the line stops moving or if it

becomes significantly harder to turn the
screw. Overturning the adjustment screw may
cause the adjustment system to break or
cause the adjustment screw to fall out of the tool.
LASER RADIATION. AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.
DO NOT stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or object
other than the workpiece. Laser light can
damage your eyes.
DO NOT use tinted glasses
to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for the
application and interfere with the normal
operation of the tool.
Never aim the beam at a
workpiece with a reflective
surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or
similar reflective
recommended for laser use. Reflective
surfaces could direct the beam back toward
the operator.
Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase
eye hazards.
SWITCH
When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
