Lower the blade by lowering the handle and just check to see where the cutting line and the position of the saw blade is. (Decide which position to cut on the line of cut.) 4. After deciding the correct position of the line in relation to the blade, return the handle to the original position. Secure the workpiece with the vertical vise without shifting the workpiece from the pre-checked position. 5. Plug the tool and turn on the laser switch. 6. Adjust the position of laser line as follows. The position of laser line can be changed as the movable range of the adjusting screw for the laser is changed by turning two screws with a hex wrench. (The movable range of laser line is factory adjusted within 1 mm (0.04") from the side surface of blade.) To shift the laser line movable range further away from the side surface of blade, turn the two screws counterclockwise after loosening the adjusting screw. Turn these two screws clockwise to shift it closer to the side surface of the blade after loosening the adjusting screw. Refer to the section titled "Laser line action" and adjust the adjusting screw so that the cutting line on your workpiece is aligned with the laser line. NOTE: • Check the position of laser line regularly for accuracy . • Have the tool repaired by a Makita authorized service center for any failure on the laser unit. 23
