ADJUSTMENTS LASER GUIDE ADJUSTMENT See Figure 17.  Draw a pencil line on a scrap workpiece. The line should be approximately 12 inches long and should run all the way to the edge of the workpiece.  Connect the jig saw to the power supply.  Align the blade of the jig saw with the pencil line on the workpiece.  Depress the switch trigger and cut into the workpiece until the base of the saw is fully supported by the workpiece as shown. Once the cut is finished, do not allow the saw to move throughout the rest of the adjustment process. NOTE: Ignore the projected laser line during this cut. Follow the pencil line visually to keep the blade cutting along the pencil line.  Rotate the variable speed control selector to the lowest speed possible.  Depress the switch trigger again to illuminate the laser. Take note of the position of the laser line in relation to the pencil line. If they are not together, unplug the jig saw and perform adjustment steps below as needed until lines come together. WARNING: Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.  If the laser line is completely to the left of the pencil line, turn the upper laser adjustment screw clockwise using a small flat blade screwdriver. This will cause the laser line to slide right.  If the laser line is completely to the right of the pencil line, turn the upper laser adjustment screw counterclockwise. This will cause the laser line to slide left.  If the laser line is twisted so that part of the line is to the left of the pencil line and part of the line is to the right, rotate the lower laser adjustment screw as necessary to bring the two lines together. WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein could result in hazardous radiation exposure. upper laser adjustment screw laser line at right side lower laser adjustment screw flat blade screwdriver pencil line 17 - English laser line at left side Fig. 17
