Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned
within 1 mm (0.04") from the side surface of the blade
(cutting position).
NOTE:
• When laser line appears dim and hard to see
because of direct sunlight, relocate the work
area to a place where there is less direct
sunlight.

Remove the lid for the dry cells for laser unit by sliding
while pressing it. Take out the old dry cells and put the
new ones as shown in the figure. After replacing, return
the lid to cover it.
Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no
longer easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and
clean the lens for the laser light carefully with a damp,
soft cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the lens.
NOTE:
• When laser line is dim and almost or entirely
invisible because of the direct sunlight in the
indoor or outdoor window-by work, relocate the
work area to a place not exposed to the direct
sunlight.
