ADJUSTMENTS

Danger:

Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light source.

WARNING:

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

TO ADJUST THE LASER GUIDE

See Figure 40.

Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of scrap wood.

Plug the saw into the power source and make a slight cut to score the wood.

Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade.

Raise the saw arm.

Unplug the saw.

To adjust the laser, loosen the laser adjustment screw using the Phillips end of the supplied blade wrench.

NOTE: When properly aligned, the laser should be on the left edge of the kerf.

Once aligned, tighten the screw then remove the blade wrench.

To adjust the miter lock lever

See Figure 41.

Prior to squaring the saw blade to the fence, check and adjust the miter lock lever, if needed. In the “locked” posi- tion, the action of pushing the miter lock lever fully down should feel tight and secure. Considerable effort should be required to move the miter table. If the table moves easily when in the “locked” position, an adjustment of the miter lock lever is required.

To adjust:

Unplug the saw.

Push the miter lock lever fully down to lock.

Pull the miter lock lever out to the right to disengage, then pull forward to adjust.

Release miter lock lever to re-engage

Recheck the miter table to ensure proper tightness.
