MOUNTING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 18.

Unplug the saw.
 Remove hex bolt, washer, and outer blade washer. Store
for future use.
 Make sure inner blade washer is in place before
positioning saw blade on the spindle of the saw.
NOTE: The laser guide replaces the outer blade washer.

Place the laser guide onto the spindle, aligning the double
“D” flats in the laser guide with the flats on the spindle.
 Position flat surface of laser guide against the blade.
Warning labels are visible when laser guide is mounted
properly.
 Depress spindle lock button and secure laser guide
using only the special hex bolt provided.
NOTE: The hex bolt has left hand threads. Turn bolt
counterclockwise to tighten.
 Using the blade wrench provided, tighten bolt securely.
 Remove the blade wrench and store the wrench in the
saw base for future use.
 Replace the lower blade guard and blade bolt cover.
 Retighten phillips screw securing blade bolt cover. Tighten
screw securely.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light
source.
ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE
See Figure 19.
The laser guide will generate a red c
olored line on the work
surface when the blade is spinning. The red laser line will
appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade as-
sembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch is
activated. This broken line will let you see your mark and the
laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining
up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.
Align the laser line and the mark with the blade at the
uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not
move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.
As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the
broken line will become solid.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness
of material.
Follow the directions below for using the laser guide.
Removing your Mark:
Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the
work surface in order to remove the mark.
To Cut your Mark:
Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work
surface in order to cut the mark.
To Leave your Mark:
Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on
the work surface in order to leave the mark.
After you have become familiar with using the laser guide,
you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the
work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for
aligning the laser line with your mark.
