screws which secure the pointers and adjust
them so that they will point to 0°.

Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after
performing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To
adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen the lever
and tilt the blade to the left fully. Make sure
that the pointer on the arm holder points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the
pointer does not point to 45°, turn the left 45°
bevel angle adjusting bolt on the side of the
arm until the pointer points to 45°.

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 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.
