CHANGING THE BATTERIES

See Figure 35.

￿Unplug your saw.

SCREWS

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your saw could result in acciden- tal starting causing possible serious personal in- jury.

Remove the laser guide from the saw. Lay laser guide 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-conductive device such as a toothpick.

Note: Replace the batteries with button cell batteries that have a rating of 1.5 volt and 100 mah (milliampere hour) minimum (Number 76 series or equivalent).

When replacing the batteries, the laser guide should be thoroughly 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 laser guide and replacing batteries, secure 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.
