What is the laser on the JUKI UX8?

The laser guide is a green line projected vertically onto your fabric to serve as a visual guide. It replaces chalk or pen stitching marks, saving you time and improving the accuracy of your stitching. When used with a Juki overlocker, this system is a real asset for achieving clean, professional finishes, even on the most technical fabrics.

Install the laser side bracket

Before using the laser, you must install its side support supplied with the machine.

Step 1: Locate the mounting locations
Look at the left side of your sewing machine base. You'll find two small threaded holes, specifically designed to accommodate the laser's metal bracket.

Step 2: Attach the metal bracket
Take the metal side bracket and the screws that came with your machine. Screw the bracket firmly into the slot provided. Make sure it is stable and doesn't slip.

Step 3: Slide in the laser unit
Once the bracket is in place, gently slide the laser unit onto the metal bracket arm until it is securely positioned.

Step 4: Connect the laser

On the right side of the device you will find a USB port which allows you to connect the laser to the device.

Step 5: Aim the laser correctly
Adjust the laser's orientation as needed. Make sure the green beam is perfectly vertical; you have several adjustments at your disposal to ensure the laser is properly aligned. This type of precision is particularly useful when working with a Juki coverstitch machine , where perfect fabric alignment ensures clean, professional finishes, especially for decorative seams or double hems.
