CAUTION

Never lift the lower guard while the saw blade is rotating.

The sub fence will not only make contact and adversely affect cutting accuracy, this could also result in damage to the guard.

7.Position adjustment of laser line (Only Model C12LCH/ C12FCH)

Ink lining can be easily made on this tool to the laser marker. A switch lights up the laser marker (Fig. 9). Turning on the laser marker switch while the digital display swich is on, light up the laser marker. (On the C12FCH, only the laser marker switch.)

Depending upon your cutting choice, the laser line can be aligned with the left side of the cutting width (saw blade) or the ink line on the right side.

The laser line is adjusted to the width of the saw blade at the time of factory shipment. Adjust the positions of the saw blade and the laser line taking the following steps to suit the use of your choice.

(1)Light up the laser marker and make a groove of about 5 mm deep on the workpiece that is about 38 mm in height and 89 mm in width. Hold the grooved workpiece by vise as it is and do not move it.

(2)Then insert a 4 mm hex. bar wrench in the 12 diameter hole on the side of the gear case, turn the hex. socket set screw to move the laser line. (If you turn the Hex. socket screw clockwise, the laser line will shift to the right and if you turn it counterclockwise, the laser line will shift to the left.) When you work with the ink line aligned with the left side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the left end of the groove (Fig. 10). When you align it with the right side of the saw blade, align the laser line with the right side of the groove.

(3)After adjusting the position of the laser line, draw a right-angle ink line on the workpiece and align the ink line with the laser line. When aligning the ink line, slide the workpiece little by little and secure it by vise at a position where the laser line overlaps with the ink line. Work on the grooving again and check the

position of the laser line. If you wish to change the laser line’s position, make adjustments again following the steps from (1) to (3).

WARNING (Fig. 11 and Fig. 12)

￿Make sure before plugging the power plug into the receptacle that the main body and the laser marker are turned off.

￿Exercise utmost caution in handling a switch trigger for the position adjustment of the laser line, as the power plug is plugged into the receptacle during operation.

If the switch trigger is pulled inadvertently, the saw blade can rotate and result in unexpected accidents.

￿Do not remove the laser marker to be used for other purposes.

CAUTION

￿Laser radiation - Do not stare into beam.

￿Laser radiation on work table. Do not stare into beam. If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt.

￿Do not dismantle it.

￿Do not give strong impact to the laser marker (main body of tool); otherwise, the position of a laser line can go out of order, resulting in the damage of the laser marker as well as a shortened service life.

￿Keep the laser marker lit only during a cutting operation. Prolonged lighting of the laser marker can result in a shortened service life.

￿Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
