WARNING: LASER RADIATION. Never aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back toward the operator.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Do not stare into the laser light source. Never aim light at another person or object other than the workpiece. Laser light can damage your eyes.
WARNING: DO NOT use tinted glasses to enhance the laser light. Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for the application and interfere with the normal operation of the tool.
LASER SWITCH (FIG. 16)
To turn the laser on, push forward on the laser on/off switch (2) to activate the laser line (25) as shown in figure 16.

•Adjust the depth and angle of cut as required.
•Push the laser on/off switch (2) to the forward “ON” position and project the laser beam.
•Depress the saw trigger switch (1) and allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
•Place the saw shoe on the workpiece. Align the laser line with the mark on the workpiece and slowly push the saw forward keeping the laser line on the mark.
•Upon completion of the cut, release the trigger and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop before switching off the laser.
