# How to Set the Ryobi Jigsaw Laser
In addition to manufacturing hand-held power drills and gas-powered lawn equipment, Ryobi also makes many different types of power saws, one of which is the Ryobi jigsaw. It is designed for cutting tight curves in wood or thin pieces of metal and uses a thin reciprocating blade centered between two guides on its base. The Ryobi jigsaw also comes equipped with a laser that is very useful when making precision cuts, such as tight curves. You should adjust the laser before using the saw.
