just unpackaged the laser guide ready to mount on saw. HOW does one turn this thing on?????

The laser turns when the blade and laser start to rotate. And have the saw in the shade the laser light is not visible in direct sunlight (too bad). Hope this helps

I haven't used mine yet, but I think it's centrifugal force that closes an internal switch.
798855
It has a centrifugal switch that turns on automatically when the blade starts spinning.
798856
I believe it work by centrifugal force. When the blade spins the red line appears.

Once you install it and pull the trigger on the saw the laser will light up. It's activated by the Centrifugal force of the saw blade spinning.

It turns it self on when the blade rotates while cutting. Remove the orginal lock washer on the saw and replace it with the lazer,pull the saw trigger and the rotation lights it up.You may want to invest in batteries.
798859
You don't. As soon as it starts spinning it turns on by itself. The centrifugal force must force the contact that turns it on.

Make sure good battery is installed. When you turn on saw laser light will come on. spinning of blade turns on laser, must work on some type of centrifugal force activating laser light.

I put one on my Harbor Freight Saw, but I had to remove the safety shield, because the shield hit bolt that holds on the laser and blade.Now it works, but only after the saw comes up to full speed.

After reading your post I did the same... minus the dremel tool though. I just hacked away at it with an exacto knife. Works great. Can't feel the sensor. Saved myself $100 too!

Dennis, first you take off the two nuts on the black chain cover and remove it. Then you spread the handles out so that you have access to the chain gear and the space between the guards and the chain and chain bar. I use a flat head screwdriver to clean all the debris out of the inside of the saw. Be sure you unplug your saw before you start working on it and be sure to add oil in the tiny oil holder. I also put some oil on the chain and chain bar too. It is a great little saw. frank B.

Just got mine delivered. There is no hole in the plastic piece that the saw blade fits into, had to drill a hole...Seems like a simple thing for the manufacture to do and since there were no directions I wasn't sure if this was what you had to do till I read this line of answers on Amazon

Remove the battery from the saw. The battery should come with a charger that attaches to the battery and to a transformer that plugs into an outlet.

Sorry for the late response. The pole has the same on/off switch at the bottom. You actually plug the saw in at the top and use the controls at the bottom of the pole. It also has the same safety switch before you can turn it on.

I had that happen on 1 of the 4 that I own. I disasimbled the laser housing by removing the warning label and removing the housing screws. Open laser very carefully, there is a spring holding tension on the laser tube. I repositioned the spring and reassembled the housing. Worked like it should then. It's not a large investment, give it a shot. Good luck.

check and see if there is a o ring on the back.. the cover may be tight. Turn it back till light goes off, than push on end cap switch and see if laser goes on.

No laser guide on the one that came in my set. However, I don't usually use a laser guide. I prefer just watching the blade follow a chalk line. If I really do need a very straight cut, I clamp down a straight edge and run the saw along it.

I mounted mine on a Craftsman saw and had to drill. I drilled the mount not the saw. Chances are you may have to drill.

not sure if there is a battery but unhinge the saw andlook at the hinge area straight back fromthe blade. There is a warning about laser radiation there. Iwould start there.

You simply set it on the saw table and zero it. Then attach it magnetically on the blade to set the blade angle.

For my table saw with a capacitor motor, I can't quickly press the "on" button. I have to hold this in for a second--until the motor builds up speed and the power draw (as judged by my lights dimming and then returning to normal) isn't as intense. Try holding it in for just a bit.

*Flashlight: turn back end...On-right / Off-left*Laser: push rubber button on back end or attach pressure switch and press it

Hi there, I didn't want a LED light system so I don't miss it. My drill press came with one, but it's basically useless so I removed it. Dunno if the ones for miter saws are better.
