  Unplug the saw.

Remove the laser guide from the saw and lay it on a flat 
surface with the two phillips screws facing upward.

Remove the screws and separate the laser guide cover 
from the laser guide support.

Remove the three button cell batteries using a non-con-
ductive device such as a toothpick.

NOTE: Replace the batteries with silver oxide batteries that 
have  a  rating  of  1.5  volt  and  180  mah  (milliampere  hour) 
minimum (Number 357 silver oxide only).
When replacing the batteries, the laser guide should be thor-
oughly cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar device, to 
remove all sawdust and debris.
Do not attempt to activate the laser.
The  laser  is  activated  by  means  of  a  centrifugal  switch 
only while the saw motor is running and the laser guide is 
mounted on the saw.

After cleaning the laser guide and replacing the batteries, 
secure the laser guide cover to laser guide support using 
the two phillips head screws. For proper assembly, be sure 
to align the key on the laser guide cover with the key slot 
in the laser guide support. Tighten screws securely.

 

NOTE: Aperture in laser guide cover must be aligned with 
aperture in laser guide support.

CAUTION:

Use  of  controls  or  adjustments  or  performance  of 
procedures other than those specified herein may result 
in hazardous radiation exposure.
