LASER LINE
WARNING: LASER RADIATION.
Never aim the beam at a workpiece
with a reflective surface. Bright shiny
reflective sheet steel or similar reflective
surfaces are not recommended for laser
use. Reflective surfaces could direct the
beam back toward the operator.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION.
AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Do
not stare into the laser light source.
Never aim light at another person or
object other than the workpiece. Laser
light can damage your eyes.
WARNING: DO NOT use tinted
glasses to enhance the laser light.
Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision
for the application and interfere with the
normal operation of the tool.

forward “ON” position and project the
laser beam.
• Depress the saw trigger switch (1) and
allow the blade to reach maximum
speed.
• Place the saw shoe on the workpiece.
Align the laser line with the mark on the
workpiece and slowly push the saw
forward keeping the laser line on the
mark.
• Upon completion of the cut, release the
trigger and allow the saw blade to come
to a complete stop before switching off
the laser.
