ADJUSTMENTS Danger: Laser radiation. Avoid direct eye contact with light source. WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein can result in hazardous radiation exposure. TO ADJUST THE LASER GUIDE See Figures 34 - 36.  Set miter and bevel angles to 0º.  Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of scrap wood.  Plug the saw into the power source and make a slight cut to score the wood.  Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the saw arm.  Raise the saw arm.  Unplug the saw.  Turn on the laser guide. To adjust the laser angle:  Loosen the lock screw a 1/4 of a turn so the laser can be adjusted. Note: Do not remove the lock screw.  Lower the saw arm, then look into the hole on the back of the upper blade guard and locate the laser adjustment screw.  Using the Phillips end of the blade wrench, rotate the laser adjustment screw. The laser angle will rotate in the same direction as the screw.  Rotate the laser angle clockwise or counter-clockwise until properly aligned with the cut in the wood. NOTE: The laser should be parallel with the kerf of the blade.  Once aligned, tighten the lock screw. To adjust the laser left or right:  Loosen the adjustment screw on the laser bracket.  Move the laser bracket left or right until the laser is properly aligned with the cut in the wood. NOTE: The laser should be on the left edge of the kerf of the blade.  Once aligned, tighten the adjustment screw. NOTE: If laser does not align correctly, return to your nearest Authorized Service Center for repair. LASER HOLE with screw LASER 28 Lock screw Fig. 34 HEX Key Fig. 35 bRACKET aDJUSTMENT SCREW Fig. 36
