SECTION 1 LASER INSTALLATION
Before installing the laser option, be aware that the laser beam can not be seen in direct
sunlight. The laser option is best for indoor cutting applications.
1.1 Laser Installation
1. Locate the four square mounting holes on the saw head near the bottom of the drive-side
blade housing. Mount the laser/bracket assembly to the saw head using the four carriage
head bolts, flat washers and lock nuts. Rev. A.00 - D.01 Only: Place the star lock wash-
ers between the laser bracket and the saw head to ensure proper grounding of the unit.
See Figure 1-1.

2. Remove the drive belt guard.
3. Route the cable from the laser assembly as shown:
See Figure 1-2.
Route the laser cable under the saw head along the brace plate and secure the
cable with the three provided wire clamps. Bolt the wire clamps to the brace plate
with the three 1/4-20 x 1/2” hex head bolts, flat washers and self-locking nuts pro-
vided.
Continue routing the laser cable along the up/down motor wire harness. Rev. E.00+:
Connect the laser cable to the accessory cable. Rev. A.00 - D.01: Connect the red
laser cable wire to red accessory wire #25. Connect the black laser cable wire to the
black accessory wire #26.
Use the two provided wire ties to secure the laser cable to the up/down motor wire
harness.
Reinstall the drive belt guard.

2.2 Laser Alignment
1. Stationary sawmills should be setup on firm, level ground before proceeding with align-
ment. Shim the feet so the weight of the sawmill is evenly supported.
Portable sawmills should also be setup on firm, level ground:
LT60HD: Adjust the two middle outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift
weight from the trailer tire.
LT70HD: Adjust the two end outriggers on the main frame tube down just enough to lift
weight from the trailer tire.
All Portable Sawmills: Adjust the two outer outriggers down just so they touch the
ground but do not bear weight.
2. Make sure the sawmill is properly aligned (see the Alignment Section of your Sawmill
Operator’s Manual.)
3. Load a cant onto the bed of the sawmill.
4. Make a cut. Without raising the carriage head, return it to the front of the sawmill so that
blade remains level with the top of the cant and the carriage head is 1’ behind the front of
the cant.
5. Align the laser. When the laser is properly aligned, approximately 10” of beam will show
across the front of the cant.
To adjust the laser vertically, loosen the assembly mounting fasteners. Move the entire
laser assembly up or down as necessary. Retighten the fasteners to secure the assembly
in position.
