INSTALLING BATTERIES FOR LASER

See Figure 11.

 

Remove screw from battery compartment cover using 
the Phillips end of the supplied blade wrench. Remove 
cover and set aside.

 

Install two AAA batteries according to polarity indicators 
inside the battery compartment.

 

Replace the battery compartment cover. Reinstall screw 
and tighten securely.

DANGER:

Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light source.

WARNING:

Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of pro-
cedures other than those specified here can result in 
hazardous radiation exposure.

ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE

See Figure 12.

Unplug the saw. Draw a line on the workpiece. When the 
laser guide switch is turned on it will generate a red line on 
the work surface. This 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 up-
permost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not 
move the workpiece.
Remove the padlock then plug the saw into the power source. 
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness 
of material. Repeat the steps above as necessary.
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.
