Adjusting the laser
Note: To test the laser function, the power tool must be connected to the power supply.
- While adjusting the laser (e.g. when moving the tool arm), never activate the on/off switch. Starting the power tool accidentally can lead to injuries.
- Bring the power tool into the work position.
- Turn the saw table (20) to the 0° detent (27). The lever (24) must be felt to engage in the detent.
- Draw a straight cutting line on the workpiece.
- Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (13).
- Position the workpiece so that the teeth of the saw blade line up with the cutting line.
- Hold the workpiece in this position and slowly guide the tool arm back up.
- Clamp the workpiece.
- Turn on the laser beam using the switch (34).
The laser beam must be flush with the cutting line on the workpiece along its entire length, even if the tool arm is guided downwards.
1. Adjusting the right-hand laser beam:
- Turn the set screw (58) with the hex key (59) until the right-hand laser beam is flush with the marked cutting line on the workpiece along the entire length.
This also moves the left-hand laser beam.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.
2. Adjusting the left-hand laser beam:
- Turn the set screw (60) with the hex key (59) until the left-hand laser beam is at the same distance from the marked cutting line on the workpiece as the right-hand laser beam.
One rotation anticlockwise moves the laser beam from left to right; one rotation clockwise moves the laser beam from right to left.
- Remove the four screws (61) from the laser protection cap (15) with a cross-headed screwdriver.
Note: To reach the front screws of the laser protection cap, you must swing the retracting blade guard (16) backwards. - Remove the laser protection cap (15).
- Loosen the fastening screw (62) (by approx. 1–2 turns) using the hex key (59). Do not unscrew the screw completely.
- Move the laser mounting plate to the right or left until the laser beams are parallel with the marked cutting line on the workpiece along their entire length.
- Hold the laser mounting plate in this position and retighten the fastening screw (62).
- Check the flush alignment with the cutting line again following adjustment. If necessary, align the laser beams with the set screws (58)/(60) once more.
- Reattach the laser protection cap (15).
- Remove the four screws (61) from the laser protection cap (15) with a cross-headed screwdriver.
Note: To reach the front screws of the laser protection cap, you must swing the retracting blade guard (16) backwards. - Loosen the two fastening screws (63) (by approx. 1–2 turns) using the hex key (59).
Do not completely unscrew the screws. - Move the laser housing right or left until the laser beams no longer laterally deviate when the tool arm moves downwards.
- Check the flush alignment with the cutting line again following adjustment. If necessary, align the laser beams with the set screws (58)/(60) once more.
- Hold the laser housing in this position and retighten the fastening screws (63).
- Reattach the laser protection cap (15).
