•Remove the laser module.

•Use a straight edge which is long enough to reach from out side surface of the saw blade beyond the laser mount plate with kerf indicator edge.

•Loosen the adjustment screw on the laser module mounting plate (figure 11).

Adjustment screw

•Place straight edge against outboard edge of saw blade.

•Adjust kerf edge on mounting plate to align with inside edge of straight edge.

•Tighten adjustment screw on mounting plate.

•Re-install the laser module and verify the laser edge aligns with the kerf indicator edge.

LASER LINE

Your saw is equipped with a removable laser which is turned on and off separately from the saw. Laser is compatible with QP1020L circular saw.

WARNING: 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.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Ensure laser on/off switch is in the full off position. Remove the battery compartment cover by lifting tab end as shown in figure 12. Insert two fresh AA alkaline batteries making sure to match

(+)and (-) terminals correctly (molded into battery compartment cover.) Replace the battery compartment cover.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To

reduce this risk:

•Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

•Do not short battery terminals.

•Do not charge batteries.

•Remove dead battery immediately and dispose of per local codes.

•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

•Remove battery if the device will not be used for several months.

Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

LASER SWITCH

To turn the laser on, push forward on the laser on/off switch to activate the laser line as shown in figure 13.

TO USE LASER LINE ON SAW

•Mark the line that you intend to cut on the workpiece.

•Adjust the depth and angle of cut as required.

•Switch the laser to the “ON” position and project the laser beam as shown in figure 14.
