ALIGNING THE LASER GUIDE LINE

See Figure 20.

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.
