NOTE:
* Perform cutting by overlapping the ink line with the laser line.
* When the ink line and the laser line are overlapped, the strength and weakness of light will
change, resulting in a stable cutting operation because you can easily discern the conformity
of lines. This ensures the minimum cutting errors.
* In outdoor or near-the-window operations, it may become difficult to observe the laser line
due to the sunlight. Under such circumstances, move to a place that is not directly under the
sunlight and engage in the operation.
* Do not tug on the cord behind the motor head or hook your finger, wood and the like around
it; otherwise, the cord may come off and the laser marker may not be lit up.

* Laser radiation- Do not stare into beam.
* Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam.
If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt.
* Do not dismantle it.
* Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body of tool); otherwise, the
position of a laser line can go out of order, resulting in the damage of the laser
marker as well as a shortened service life.
* Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation. Prolonged lighting of the
laser marker can result in a shortened service life.
* Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A
switch lights up the laser marker. (Fig. 14)
Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned
with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the ink line on
the right side.
The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time
of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the
laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.
(1) Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 3/16"

(5mm) deep on the workpiece that is about 1-1/2" (38mm) in
height and 3-1/2"(89mm) in width. Hold the grooved workpiece
by vise as it is and do not move it.

the side of the gear case, turn the hex. socket set screw to move
the laser line. (If you turn the Hex. socket screw clockwise, the
laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise,
the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink

line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser
line with the left end of the groove. (Fig. 16) When you align it
with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the
right side of the groove.
