Be careful not to over-loosen any bolts and not to overtighten them.

b. Carefully adjust the laser tube in its brackets by loosening its bolts.
c. Use rubber shims to elevate or remove the existing shim to lower the laser’s position
on the bracket.
d. Once the laser tube’s elevation is adjusted, you will need to check the alignment of
Mirror 1, 2, and 3.
e. When finished with adjusting the tube, repeat steps 2–8 until the burnt hole falls
perfectly at the center of the tape.
