ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating.
MOUNTING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 18.
nUnplug the saw.
nMake sure inner blade washer is in place before positioning saw blade on the spindle of the saw. NOTE: The laser guide replaces the outer blade washer.
nPlace the laser guide onto the spindle, aligning the double “D” flats in the laser guide with the flats on the spindle.
nPosition flat surface of laser guide against the blade. Warning labels are visible when laser guide is mounted properly.
nDepress spindle lock button and secure laser guide using only the special hex key bolt provided.
NOTE: The hex key bolt has left hand threads. Turn bolt counterclockwise to tighten.
nUsing the hex key provided with the saw, tighten bolt securely.
nRemove the hex key and store it in a safe place for future use.
nReplace the lower blade guard and blade bolt cover.
nRetighten phillips screw securing blade bolt cover. Tighten screw securely.
DANGER:
Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light source.
ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE
See Figure 19.
The laser guide will generate a red colored line on the work surface when the blade is spinning. The red laser line will appear as a broken line on the workpiece when the blade as- sembly is in the uppermost position and the motor switch is activated. This broken line will let you see your mark and the laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece.
Align the laser line and the mark with the blade at the uppermost position. Once both lines are in alignment, do not move the workpiece until after you have finished cutting.
As the blade assembly is lowered toward the workpiece, the broken line will become solid.
Make several practice cuts on different styles and thickness of material.
Follow the directions below for using the laser guide.
Removing Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the left edge of your mark on the work surface in order to remove the mark.
To Cut Your Mark:
Position the laser line near or over your mark on the work surface in order to cut the mark.
To Leave Your Mark:
Position the laser line near the right edge of your mark on the work surface in order to leave the mark.
After you have become familiar with using the laser guide, you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for aligning the laser line with your mark.
