Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned within 1 mm from the side
surface of the blade (cutting position).
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.
Aligning the laser line
Laser line can be shifted to either the left or right side of the blade according to
the applications of cutting. Refer to explanation titled “Laser beam action”
