The laser light guide is a class IIIA laser with a
maximum output power of 5.0m Watts and
conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
TO ADJUST THE LASER LINE GUIDE
Use a flat head screwdriver to turn the
adjustment screw located on the side of the
laser module (Fig. 4). Turn on the laser light
guide by rotating the control wheel to setting
number 2. Rotate the adjustment screw until
the laser line is in the center of the blade.
There is no need to turn the tool “ON” while
adjusting the light beam.
The Laser line guide has a limited amount of
travel. Do not continue to turn the adjustment
screw after the line stops moving or if it
becomes significantly harder to turn the
screw. Overturning the adjustment screw
may cause the adjustment system to break or
cause the adjustment screw to fall out of the
tool.
USING THE LASER LINE GUIDE
Only turn on the laser light on when the tool is
on the workpiece.
1. First mark the line of cut on your workpiece
(good side down.)
2. Insert plug into the power source.
3. Place the front edge of the saw foot on the
workpiece, turn the 4 position contol wheel to
setting 2 for laser light only or setting 3 for
laser light and site-light and align beam with
the line of cut .
4. Hold the tool firmly, squeeze the trigger
and allow the tool to reach desired speed.
5. Press down (to keep the saw foot flat
against the work surface) as you slowly push
the saw forward, keeping the beam in line
with the line of cut .
6. After completion of the cut, release the
trigger and turn off the laser light.
