Hi Everyone,
I have a 25w pinnacle laser
Did the test and the beam is off. Ok so I look at the instructions in my manual. all sounded simple till I opened the panel and looked at the screws. (see picture attached). The photo is of the screws on back of mirror #1, they are exactly the same as on back of the square red beam mirror (which is behind it and I can see them with a dental mirror)
The instructions say:
•You need to adjust the red beam mirror. the red beam mirror is located to the left of mirror #1 down by the laser tube.
• There are five screws located on the back of the red beam mirror. The allen head screw is NOT to be touched at all. You will use a 90 degree ratcheting screw driver to make the adjustments to the flat tipped screws. If you are using a regular flat tipped screw driver, you will have alot of difficulty getting in there and adjusting the screws....
Ok there is more but I understand the rest (how much to adjust the screws etc)
First of all the instructions fail to say which panel to open (the one in the back or the one on the side that you would normally take off to clean mirror #1)... I took off the side one but I think I need to take off the back because from where I am the square red beam mirror is behind mirror #1, not to the left of it as stated. (if I take the big back panel off, it will be to the left).
The problem I'm having is that it says flat tipped screws and one allen screw (not to be touched) I thought a flat tipped screw was a regular flat head screw (as apposed to a phillips head) To me these all look like allen screws although two look a little different from the rest. I'm confused... I have allen wrenches but why does it say flat head and to use a 90 degree ratcheting screw driver. and if I do adjust which not to touch.
Am I just not understanding the names of the tools. Please look at the image and tell me if I just am not understanding correctly or are these bad instructions.
Any help would be appreciated
