12.1. Laser Guideline Light

Laser guidance is a very practical tool for easy identification of the desired length of the cut material without a horizontal side stop
both during perpendicular and angular cutting. The desired cutting spot is indicated by a red mark copying the saw blade.
Safety warning
Caution! Includes a 3R-class laser source. Avoid eye contact with both direct and reflected laser beam. Never look into
the laser lens when the machine is in operation! Risk of permanent damage to your vision! Keep away from children.
Information - What is a Laser of the performance class 3R - classification according to IEC 60825
This group covers lasers that emit radiation in the continuous mode in the visible part of the spectrum, from 400 to 700 nm, and whose
power does not exceed 5mW. Laser of this class cannot cause damage to the human eye in case of a fleeting glance. The eye of a
healthy human is protected by the natural blink reflex, supposing the person is not under the influence of narcotic substances. It is
assumed that the time that elapses between the contact with the eye and the laser beam, and the closing of the eyelids (or turning the
head aside), is less than 0.25 s. That is sufficient for the retina to remain protected from the light energy of over 0.25 millijoule. The
amount of 0.25 mJ is the maximum permissible value the human eye can be exposed to in case of a direct eye contact with the laser
bundle. Danger arises during an intentional and a long look into the laser beam, or when observing the beam with an optical system.
It is not allowed to watch the beam with binoculars. These lasers would cause permanent eye damage.

12.1.1. Activation and deactivation of the laser beam

After unpacking, the laser guideline light is in a full working condition. After switching on the machine (according to the instruction
manual of the machine), the laser beam is activated and starts to radiate. After turning off the machine (according to the instruction
manual of the machine), the beam extinguishes.

12.1.2. Laser indication on the machine

Each machine equipped with the laser guideline light must be indicated with a laser pictogram label.
In the proximity of the machine and the operator, a security warning must be displayed.

12.1.3. Adjustment

If the laser beam does not point exactly at the cut, it needs to be adjusted.

1. Switch on the machine, the laser beam starts to radiate.
2. Set up the beam as close as possible to the desired
position.
3. Then, while adjusting, start moving the laser holder
console 1 upwards or downwards and adjust the laser
beam with a descending arm so that it does not veer to one
or the other side.
If the beam veers in the direction ahead of the cut, when
the shoulder is descending, loosen the setting screw 1A
and tighten 1B . Or the other way round.
4. When the beam does not veer anymore and remains
directed during both ascending and descending of the
arm, readjust the desired direction by 2 and 3 .
