Diode Pointer Quick Start Guide

Coarse Adjustment:

14.  

Assure the laser is off! 

Loosen the four diode pointer mounting hex head screws on the face of the  

 

laser enough to move the pointer in the direction necessary to center the beam in the CO

2

 burn.   

 

Re-tighten and repeat the far and near field adjustment steps. If this does not bring the pointer into  

 

adequate coincidence with the laser, proceed to the next step.

 IF further coarse adjustment needed:

 Loosen  

  the screws holding mounting plate to pointer.

 Rotate the pointer mounting plate  

  180 degrees

: re-tighten the screws  

  holding mounting plate to pointer.

 

Re-install and tighten the two screws.

If the pointer is all the way to its limit in the slots, it may be necessary to rotate the 

mounting plate in relation to the pointer housing. 

15.

 

Assure the laser is off! 

Remove the diode pointer from the laser. 

16.

  Refer to the figures below and remove the two socket head cap screws holding the mounting plate to    

 

the pointer body. Rotate the mounting plate 180 degrees then reinstall and tighten the two screws.  

 

 

Reinstall the pointer to the front of the laser and repeat the near/far field adjustment as you did before    

 

until the pointer is in adequate coincidence with the laser beam.
