Adjusting the position of laser line
For model LS1013L/LS1013FL only
WARNING :
•As the tool is plugged when adjusting the position
of laser line, take a full caution especially at switch
action. Pulling the switch trigger accidentally cause
an accidental start of the tool and personal injury.
CAUTION:
•Never look into the laser beam directly. Direct laser
beam causes damage to your eyes.
•LASER RADIATION
Do not stare into beam.
•Never apply a blow or impact to the tool. A blow or
impact causes the incorrect position of laser line,
damage to the laser beam emitting part or a short
life of the tool.
When adjusting the laser line appears on the left side
of the saw blade
When adjusting the laser line appears on the right
side of the saw blade
For both adjustments, do as follows.
1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
2. Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the
workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.
3. Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just
check to see where the cutting line and the position
of the saw blade is. (Decide which position to cut on
the line of cut.)
4. After decision the position to be cut, return the han-
dle to the original position. Secure the workpiece
with the vertical vise without shifting the workpiece
from the pre-checked position.
5. Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch.
6. Adjust the position of laser line as follows.
The position of laser line can be changed as the movable
range of the adjusting screw for the laser is changed by
turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The movable
range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm (0.04”)
from the side surface of blade.)
To shift the laser line movable range further away from
the side surface of blade, turn the two screws counter-
clockwise after loosening the adjusting screw. Turn these
two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the side surface
of the blade after loosening the adjusting screw.
Refer to the section titled “Laser line action” and adjust
the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your work-
piece is aligned with the laser line.
NOTE:
•Check the position of laser line regularly for
accuracy.
•Have the tool repaired by Makita authorized service
center for any failure on the laser unit.
