Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in acciden-
tal starting causing possible serious personal in-
jury.
Remove the laser guide from the saw. Lay laser guide on a
flat surface with the two phillips screws facing upward.
Remove the screws and separate the laser guide cover from
the laser guide support.
Remove the three button cell batteries using a non-conductive
device such as a toothpick.
Note: Replace the batteries with button cell batteries that
have a rating of 1.5 volt and 100 mah (milliampere hour)
minimum (Number 76 series or equivalent).
When replacing the batteries, the laser guide should be
thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush or similar device,
to remove all sawdust and debris.
Do not attempt to activate the laser.
The laser is activated by means of a centrifugal switch only
while the saw motor is running and the laser guide is
mounted on the saw.
After cleaning laser guide and replacing batteries, secure
laser guide cover to laser guide support using the two phillips
head screws. For proper assembly, be sure to align the key
on the laser guide cover with the key slot in the laser guide
support. Tighten screws securely.
Note: Aperture in laser guide cover must be aligned with
aperture in laser guide support.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
