ADJUSTABLE LASER LINE GUIDE
When adjusting the laser
line guide you will need to
have the saw plugged into a power source.
Pay attention to the placement of the saw
blade with respect to your hands and body
and avoid accidental actuation of the
power switch. Accidental start-up of the
saw may cause injury.
Your tool is equipped with a laser line guide
that will turn on whenever the tool is plugged
in and the safety switch release button is
pushed in. The laser line guide can be
adjusted for variations in blade thickness for
whichever side of blade the user would prefer
to cut the line on. The laser guide does not
need to be adjusted for bevel cuts after it is
aligned for straight 90° cuts.
If using the laser line guide for cutting you do
not need the line guide incorporated in the
foot as it may be in a different setting than the
laser line guide.
The laser light guide is a class IIIA laser with a
maximum output power of 5.0 mWatts and
conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
TO ADJUST:
Use a flat head screwdriver to turn the
adjustment screw located on the side of the
laser module (Fig. 9). Turn on the laser line
guide by pressing the safety switch and
rotate the adjustment screw until the laser line
is aligned. There is no need to power the saw
“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.
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.
DO NOT use tinted glasses
to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for
the application and interfere with the normal
operation of the tool.
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.
SWITCH
When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
The torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
To turn tool “ON”, press the release button
with your thumb on either side of handle to
disengage the lock, then squeeze the trigger
switch. To turn the tool “OFF”, release the
trigger switch, which is spring loaded and will
return to the off position automatically and
lock the trigger.
Your saw should be running at full speed
BEFORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase
switch life, do not turn switch on and off while
cutting.
