How do I calibrate porter cable laser RT-7510-3 laser light works but stuck out of level

The handhelds are not meant to be calibrated, recycle properly and invest in a PLS3 or PLS5, they have a 3 year exchange warranty: https://www.plslaser.com/pls-best-class-warranty/

Hi ron. Here is the site to go to for a detailed schematic http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/brands-products/Porter-cable-Parts/Router-Parts

Need an instruction manual for a Model 557 Porter Cable

Owners manual is here. Exploded diagram is here.

I would like to note the manufacturers site lists 557 Types 1-4. Not sure what the difference between them is, but if you need the link, it's here on page 4 of 5.

Too tight half blind joints

Hello paul... Setting up to make router-cut dovetails is always a trial-and-error effort. You may need to fiddle around and readjust trial pieces to get a perfect fit. See below for pointers on how to fix possible problems. Most other problems are usually caused by the pieces not being clamped down in the jig so they're flush across the top, or because they move out of position as they're being routed. 5x15.gif dovetail-fig1.jpg TOO LOOSE: If joint is too loose, increase bit depth. TOO TIGHT: If joint is too tight, decrease depth. dovetail-fig2.jpg TOO DEEP: If pins go deep, move template toward you. TOO SHALLOW: If not deep enough, move toward jig. dovetail-fig3.jpg OFFSET: If pieces don't align at top or bottom, they may not have been tight against the stops. When the joints are too tight decrease the depth just a wee bit. As you know, adjusting the jig always requires some trial and error. Good luck with it.

Hi, W/D at your service.
