ser unit 41 and the riving knife 4.

Note: Adjust the blade guard according to the workpiece
height.
When sawing, the blade guard must always face lightly against
the workpiece.
– Check if the cutting line of the the saw blade is properly in-
dicated by the laser beam (see "Adjusting the Laser",
page 34).
The laser beam can be misadjusted when assembling the
laser unit 41 and the blade guard 3.
Adjusting the Laser
The laser unit 41 is supplied preset.
Before putting into operation for the first time, you should
check if the laser beam is still aligned properly on the pre-
ferred saw blade cutting line after mounting the laser unit 41
and the blade guard 3.
Checking:
– Switch the laser beam on with switch 44.
The laser beam should run parallel to the extension of the cut
on the sticker 15.
Adjusting the Parallelism: (see figure C1)
– Loosen fastening screw 45 (using a suitable screwdriver).
– Move the housing 46 of the laser until the laser beam runs
parallel to the cut over the complete length.
– Carefully retighten fastening screw 45.
The laser beam must now be set flush to the saw blade, so that
the cutting line of the saw blade is correctly marked.
Set the laser beam either centred to the saw blade or exactly
left or right of the cutting line, as individually required.
