The TwinLaser

™

laser units are mounted in a housing that is

fitted into the upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The

lasers project a beam of light downward, along both sides and

parallel to the saw blade. This beam of light produces a line-

of-cut indicator (a red outline of where the saw blade will cut)

on the workpiece.

ADJUSTING THE TwinLaser

™

LINES

Each of the laser lines have been aligned parallel to the blade

at the factory and should not need any adjustment prior to use.

However, left-to-right adjustment to the laser lines may be

necessary if you change to a thicker or thinner kerf blade. For

information on changing your blade, refer to the "Maintenance:

Changing the Blade" section of this manual. To adjust the laser

lines to the edge of the cut, follow the instructions below.

HOW THE LASERS WORK

The laser units are mounted in a housing that is fitted into the

upper blade guard of the miter saw (Fig. A). The lasers project

a beam of light downward, along both sides and parallel to the

saw blade. This beam of light produces a line-of-cut indicator

(a red outline of where the saw blade will cut) on the

workpiece. The laser units are aligned to the original

equipment blade at the factory and are secured in place. A test

cut has been made with each saw to verify laser setup. If your

saw becomes misaligned or you desire additional precision,

this guide is intended to assist you in fine tuning your laser

miter saw.

HOW TO CHECK LASER ALIGNMENT

Make sure the saw is set to 0 degrees miter and bevel and

clamp a 2"x 6" board on the saw. Create a partial/test cut in

the workpiece (Fig. C). Turn the laser “ON/OFF” switch (Fig. B)

to the “ON” position. Leave the workpiece clamped in place

for the remainder of the adjustment.

Observe laser CAUTION label (L) Fig. B.

Place a padlock Fig. B (with

/16"

shackle) through hole in trigger switch

and lock to prevent accidental motor

startup. This padlock MUST remain in

place during the adjustment procedure.

The laser lines are properly positioned when the beams of light

fall on the edge of the cut created by the blade (Fig. D).

TO CHECK FOR ROTATIONAL ALIGNMENT

The rotation of the lines is set parallel at the factory and

permanently secured. There is no user adjustment for

rotational alignment and you should never twist the brass hex

nut in Fig. E.
