Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned within
1 mm (0.04") from the side surface of the blade (cutting
position).
Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and clean the
lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth.
Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on
the lens.
NOTE:
When laser line is dim and almost or entirely
•
invisible because of the direct sunlight in the indoor
or outdoor window-by work, relocate the work area
to a place not exposed to the direct sunlight.
