ADJUSTING SLIDER FRICTION KNOB – cont'd
2. To set the slider knob for operating the
tool, turn the slider knob counter clockwise
until the slider moves freely in and out but
with enough friction to prevent sudden
movements of the cutting head.

ADJUSTING BEVEL FRICTION

The bevel friction can be adjusted to make the
cutting head easier or harder to move from side
to side. To reduce the friction, turn the friction
lock nut (1) counter clockwise (Fig. 17). To
increase the friction, turn the friction lock nut
clockwise.
NOTE: Use a 17 mm wrench to turn the friction
lock nut.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE FENCE
EXTENDERS
WARNING:
!
The bevel angle fence
extenders MUST be adjusted to suit the BEVEL
angle. If they are not adjusted properly, the
fence will not function well and the cutting head
could be damaged.

1. Loosen the fence extender locking knob (1)
on the side to which the cutting head is
tilted (Fig. 18).
2. Slide the fence extender (2) outward until
the bevel appropriate angle (3) is aligned
with the indexing mark (4) on the fence
(Fig. 19).
NOTES:
a) Make sure the fence extender is slid AT
LEAST to the bevel angle selected.
b) There is a fence extender on each end
of the fence. Make sure to adjust the left
extender when the cutting head is tilted
toward the left, etc.
3. Retighten the fence extender locking knob
when the fence extender is set in the
correct position.

ADJUSTING THE LASER
