ADJUSTING THE LASER LINES
The lower laser is factory set to emit a laser
line along the right-hand side of the blade.
The upper laser is factory set to emit a laser
line to the left-hand side of the blade. This
upper laser can be adjusted by the operator
to suit blades of different kerf widths.
To adjust the position of the upper laser,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the laser cover by pulling it
towards you.
2. Switch on the laser lights with the on/off
switch (2).
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver (not
supplied), adjust the position of the line
from the upper laser by turning the laser
pitch control (4).
4. Adjust until the left-hand laser line is
aligned with the left-hand side of the blade.
5. Switch off the laser lights.
CHANGING A BLADE
DANGER! Never try to use a blade larger
than the stated capacity of the saw. It might
come into contact with the blade guards.
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow
the outer blade washer to engage with the
flats on the spindle. It will prevent the blade
screw from properly securing the blade
on the spindle. Do not use the saw to cut
metal or masonry. Ensure that any spacers
and spindle rings that may be required suit
the spindle and the blade fitted.
1. Make sure that the
electrical plug is
removed from the
power point.
