1. The vertical alignment is set correctly when the lines do not move horizontally (sideways) as the saw head is raised and
lowered. If vertical alignment is correct, go to “TO SET LEFT AND RIGHT KERF ADJUSTMENT”.
2. To adjust, turn the left and right kerf adjustment screws one half turn clockwise. Take off the laser unit cover by removing
the phillips screw on either side of the cover. (Fig. A).
3. Use the 1/8" hex wrench to turn the left or right vertical alignment set screws. If, as the saw head goes from a raised to
a lowered position, the laser line moves horizontally away from the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw clockwise
to correct. If the laser line moves horizontally towards the blade, turn the vertical alignment set screw counter-clockwise.

DUAL LASERLOC
MAINTENANCE
For best laser performance, perform the following maintenance
regularly:
1. Carefully clean sawdust from each laser lens (A) Fig. J with
a cotton swab (B). Do not use solvents of any kind since
they may damage the lens. Avoid touching sharp points of
the saw blade with your hands or fingers. Dust build-up
can block the laser and prevent it from accurately
indicating the line-of-cut.
2. Remove the blade from the saw and clean pitch build-up
from the blade (Fig. K) Pitch build-up can block the laser
and prevent it from accurately indicating the line-of-cut.
