SECTION 1 SAFETY
This symbol calls your attention to instructions concerning your personal safety. Be sure
to observe and follow these instructions. This symbol accompanies a signal word. The
word DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. WARNING suggests a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION refers to potentially
hazardous situations which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to
persons or equipment. Read all safety instructions before operating this equipment and
observe all safety warnings!
DANGER! Visible and/or invisible laser radiation. Avoid eye
or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
CAUTION! Avoid hitting the eyes by a direct or reflected
beam. Never look directly into the switched-on laser optics!
Danger of permanent eye damage!
CAUTION! Never observe the beam through an optical
system. To observe the beam e.g. through binoculars is
very dangerous and inadmissible.
CAUTION! Secure the working place against the entering
of unauthorized persons.

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.
2.1 Laser Installation - LT40
1. Remove the four lower slide pad mounting nuts (inside of mast post). Install the laser
assembly to the slide pad mounting bolts as shown. Use the provided 5/16” flat washers
and 5/16-18 nylon locking jam nuts to secure in place.
See Figure 2-1.
2. Install the point tip ground screw to either one of the small holes in the laser assembly
mounting brackets. Turn the screw in far enough so that it contacts the slide pad bracket.
IMPORTANT! Contact with the sawmill slide pad bracket is necessary to provide proper
grounding for the laser. If proper contact is not made, the laser will not operate.
3. Remove the drive pulley guard.

Install one of the provided hose clamps to the laser assembly wire. Remove the
third slide pad nut from the bottom, install the hose clamp as shown and reinstall the
slide pad nut.
Continue to route the wire downward, through the sawmill v-brace.
Next, route the wire upward, along the side mounting plate. Secure with a wire tie to
the outside of the side mounting plate brace.
Continue to route the wire upward and secure with a wire tie to the fuel line EMT
clamp.

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. Place the star lock washers between the laser
bracket and the saw head to ensure proper grounding of the unit.
See Figure 2-5.
2. Remove the drive belt guard.
3. Route the cable from the laser assembly as shown:
See Figure 2-6.
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 M4x16 screws, flat washers and nuts provided.
Connect the red laser cable wire to red accessory wire #25. Connect the black laser
cable wire to the black -12 V DC wire.
Use the two provided wire ties to secure the laser cable.
