[3] DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
[3]-11. Laser Mechanism (for LS1216L only: cont.)
ASSEMBLING
Take the disassembling step in reverse.
Note: 1) Hook one end of Torsion springs 9(A) to the groove of Laser circuit complete,
and hook the other end to the groove of Block B. Meanwhile, hook one end of
Torsion springs 9(B) to the groove of Block C, and hook the other end to the
groove of Block B as drawn in Fig. 73. Be careful each end of the Torsion
springs. After tightening M3x6 Pan head screws (A) and (B), check if both
Blocks B and C can be smoothly pivoted due to the reaction force of Torsion
springs 9(A) and 9(B).
2) Align the top of M4x6 Hex socket set screw with the surface of Laser circuit
complete. Align the top of the other M4x6 Hex socket set screw with the
surface of Block C. (Fig. 73)
This way makes the fine adjustment of Laser easy.
3) Do not touch the lens of Laser circuit complete, or Laser may be unclear
because of dust, dirt and fingerprint.
Dust, dirt and fingerprint have to be wiped off using a cotton swab.
4) When assembling Laser mechanism to Blade case complete, put Lead wires
into Lead wire holder of Block C. (Fig. 74)
