ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE
See Figure 19.
The laser guide will generate a red colored line on the work surface when the blade is spinning above 500 rpm. The red laser line will appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade assembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch is activated. This broken line will let you see your mark and your laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up your mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.
Align the laser line and your mark with the blade at the up- permost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.
As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the broken line will become solid.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thick- ness of material.
Follow the directions below for using the laser guide.
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.
