Kapex Right Side Laser Out Of Sight?

[Wing79]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a used Kapex that had both left and right lasers functioning properly.  The lateral hole for the right laser was punched (not by myself) to obviously adjust the laser at some point.  A few days ago I had noticed the right side laser gone!  Anyone have this happen?  I tried adjusting the laser to see if it was hidden behind the blade, but no luck.  My next step would be to punch the other to holes to see if something go whacked out of place.  Any info would be great!

Thanks, Jim

Jim, check for debris on the laser lens, and/or try to see if it even turns on (but don't look into it! removing the blade is a safe option)
The adjustment can be done without puncturing the holes by removing the entire left plastic guard. (in case you wanted to keep it clean looking)

I need to adjust mine and didn't want to yet as I didn't want to molest the cover. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks Timtool.  I did check the laser and no debris. What I did notice was the laser when fully adjusted in it almost aligns with the left side laser.  When adjusted out it doesn't even clear the blade which is causing it to be hidden behind the blade.  Not sure why or how this has happened but I am not the only one who uses the saw.  Like I said before the hole had been punctured, so not sure if the laser screw was possibly tightened or loosened too much either way.  Not sure where to go from here?  Has anyone ever encountered this problem?

Any info appreciated

Thanks, Jim

I once adjusted mine, and i needed to adjust two or more screws to get it right. Each setting only works in one direction, so typically you to play with several ones to set it back right, there is no reason it only moved in one direction!

Just my thoughts... Do you have a original blade or is it slightly thicker? So youre laser must be adjusted a bit to the outside.
I had a problem that my dust cover was full with dust, i cleaned the cover and there were my two laserlines again! But like i sayed... Just my Dutch thoughts! (That's why my bad english!)
