1.Mark a 90° straight line across a board to serve as a "pattern line" to test laser alignment. Lay the board on the miter table.

2.Plug saw into outlet and turn on the laser beam and line it up with the pattern line.

3.Lower saw blade to pattern line and if blade is not flush with the pattern line, adjust as follows in procedures (B).
