LASER LINE (BDECS300 ONLY)
WARNING:
LASER RADIATION.
Never aim the beam at a workpiece
with a reflective surface. Bright shiny
reflective sheet steel or similar reflective
surfaces are not recommended for laser
use. Reflective surfaces could direct the
beam back toward the operator.
DANGER:
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.
WARNING:
glasses to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision
for the application and interfere with the
normal operation of the tool.
TO USE THE LASER LINE
• Mark the line that you intend to cut on
the workpiece.
• Adjust the depth and angle of cut as
required.
• Depress the saw trigger switch (1) to
project the laser beam (Figure J). Allow
the blade to reach maximum speed.
• Place the saw shoe on the workpiece.
Align the laser line with the mark on
the workpiece and slowly push the saw
forward, keeping the laser line on the mark.

ADJUSTING THE LASER LINE
• Before making a cut, make sure the
laser line (8) is accurate. The laser
should line up in the right notch (17) of
the shoe. When the saw is beveled, the
laser should line up in the left notch (18)
as shown in the inset of Figure K.
• If the laser needs to be adjusted, use
a screwdriver to rotate the screw (19)
back and forth until the laser lines up
properly (Figure K).
