CHECK ALIGNMENT OF ARM AND BLADE

USING LASER

See Figure 35.

The laser can be used as a quick, accurate routine check for the alignment of your Radial Arm Saw, The saw should be aligned according to the procedures outlined in the Adjustments Section of this manual,

•Using a two-foot length of 1 x 12 in, board and an accurate framing square, draw a fine line perpen- dicular to the edge of the board using the fence as

a guide. Position the marked board against the fence,

•With the guard in place, align the blade arbor at the CENTER of the width of the board.

•Raise the arm so that the blade is approximately 5 in, above the surface of the board.

•Tighten the carriage lock knob to prevent the carriage from moving,

•Carefully start the motor and observe the red laser line. By shifting the board, align the laser line with the line you drew on the board. If the laser line aligns parallel with the drawn line, the saw align- ment is acceptable,

•When making adjustments to the radial arm saw, use ONLY the procedures outlined in the adjust- ments section of this manual, using a framing

square and the saw UNPLUGGED. Do not attempt	Fig. 35
to perform adjustments while using the laser as an
indication of alignment.
• Save the board with the drawn line for future
routine alignment checks,
