TO CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

1.The vertical alignment is set correctly when the lines do not move horizontally (sideways) as the saw head is raised and lowered. If vertical alignment is correct jump to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”.

2.If the vertical alignment needs to be adjusted, begin by backing the left and right kerf adjustment screws one half turn clockwise. Remove the laser unit cover by removing the phillips screw on either side of the cover. (Fig. A).

3.Use the 1/8" hex wrench to turn the left or right vertical alignment set screws. If as the saw head goes from a raised to a lowered position and the laser line moves horizontally away from the blade, turn vertical alignment set screw clockwise to correct. If the laser line moves horizontally towards the blade, turn vertical alignment set screw counter- clockwise to correct. (Fig. F)

4.Reinstall cover removed in step 1, and continue to

TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”.

TO SET LEFT and RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT

1.Use the 1/8" hex wrench to turn the left or right kerf adjustment screws and set the laser lines to either side of the test cut (Fig. G). To adjust the left line turn the left kerf adjustment screw counter-clockwise to move the line toward the blade and clockwise to move the line away from the blade. To adjust the right line turn the right kerf adjustment screw counter-clockwise to move the line toward the blade and CW to move the line away from the blade. (Fig. H)

TwinLaser™ MAINTENANCE

For best laser performance, perform the following maintenance regularly:

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

2.Carefully clean sawdust from each laser lens with a cotton swab Fig. J. Do not use solvents of any kind since they may damage the lens. Avoid touching sharp points of saw blade with your hands or fingers. Dust build-up can block the laser and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of cut.

3.Remove blade from saw and clean pitch build-up from blade Fig. K Pitch build-up can block the laser and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of cut.
