For both adjustments, do as follows.

1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged.

2. Draw the cutting line on the workpiece and place it

on the turn table. At this time, do not secure the

workpiece with a vise or similar securing device.

3. 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.
