TO CHECK FOR VERTICAL ALIGNMENT

1.The vertical alignment is set correctly when the line does not move horizontally (sideways) as the cutting head is raised and lowered. If the vertical alignment is correct, disregard this section and move to “TO SET KERF ADJUSTMENT”.

2.If the vertical alignment is not correct, turn the kerf adjustment screw one half turn, clockwise. Remove the screws on both sides of the laser unit cover (Fig. A). Remove the cover.

3.Use the 1/8" hex wrench to turn the vertical alignment set screw (Fig. E). If you move the cutterhead from the raised to the lowered position and the laser line moves horizontally away from the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw clockwise to correct. If the laser line moves horizontally toward the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw counter-clockwise to correct. (Fig. F)

4.Reinstall the cover removed in STEP 2.

Never turn the brass hex nut in Fig. E.

LASER MAINTENANCE

For best laser performance, perform the following maintenance regularly:

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

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