The movable range of laser line is decided by the range
adjustment screws on both sides. Perform following
procedures to alter the laser line position.
1.
Remove the battery cartridge.
2.
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn base. At this time, do not secure the work-
piece with a vise or similar securing device.
3.
Lower the handle and align the cutting line with
the saw blade.

Return the handle to the original position and
secure the workpiece with the vertical vise so that the
workpiece does not move from the position you have
determined.
