ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE
The laser line must always be correctly aligned with the blade
to ensure straight, even cutting. Your tool is equipped with
the Laser guide cutting guide using Class IIIa laser line. The
laser line will enable you to preview the saw blade path on the
stock to be cut before starting the miter saw. This laser guide
is powered by two AAA 1.5 volt batteries.
WARNING
To prevent injury, insert a padlock (not
provided) through the hole in the ON/OFF trigger
switch. Do not remove the lock from the ON/OFF
switch during any laser adjustments.

LASER GUIDE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. T, U, V, W)
NOTE: All the adjustments for the operation of this machine
have been completed at the factory. Due to normal wear and
use, some occasional readjustments may be necessary.
WARNING
• To prevent injury, insert a padlock (not
provided) through the hole in the ON/OFF trigger
switch. Do not remove the lock from the ON/OFF
switch during any laser adjustments.
• Un-plug the miter saw before making any laser line
adjustments.
A. Checking Laser Line Alignment (Fig. T, U, V)
1. Set the saw to a 0° miter and 0° bevel setting.
2. Use a combination square to mark a 90° langled running
across the top and down the front of a board. This line will
serve as the pattern line (Fig. V) to adjust the laser. Place
the board on the saw table.
3. Carefully lower the saw head down to align the saw blade
with the pattern line. Position the saw blade to the left,
center or right side of the "pattern line" depending on your
preference for the laser line location. Lock board in place
with hold-down clamp.
4. Turn on the Laser guide. Your saw has been preset with
the laser line to the left side of the blade.
WARNING: When making laser line adjustments, keep
fingers away from the ON/OFF trigger switch to prevent
accidental starting and possible serious injury.
5. Looking at the front of the board, if the laser line is not
parallel to the "pattern line" please follow the instructions
listed below under Procedure A.
6. Looking at the top of the board, if the laser line is not
parallel to the "pattern line" please follow the instructions
listed below under Procedure B.
B. Adjusting the Position of the Laser Line
NOTE: There are two adjustment screws on the Laser guide.
Use a 3 mm hex wrench to make any needed adjustments.
Procedure A (Fig. U, V)
1. Slightly turn adjustment screw (1) to adjust the vertical
angle of laser line on the front of the board. If the laser line
is angled from left to right, turn the adjustment screw (1)
clockwise; If the laser line is angled right to left, turn the
adjustment screw (1) counterclockwise until the laser line
is parallel with the vertical pattern line.
Procedure B (Fig. U, W)
