CHECKING LASER ADJUSTMENT

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

LASER LIGHT. Do not stare into the beam, aperture, or into a reflection from a mirror-like surface.

Laser alignment is preset at the factory. If needed, the alignment can be adjusted by following the steps below:

To check if the lasers are perpendicular to the table, do this:

1.Using a carpenter's square or similar device, draw a straight line (C1) Fig. 34 on a scrap board.

2.Place board on its edge as shown in Fig. 34 with line facing back of drill press. Make sure the board is placed over the middle of the table insert (D1) Fig. 34, as shown.

3.Turn laser on so the red lines are shining on board as shown. Check to see if both red lines (E1) Fig. 34 are parallel with the line (C1) you drew.

If they are not:

1.Using an included hex key, turn the front screw (F1) Fig. 35 on the right laser pod so that its red line is parallel with the line you drew on the board.

2.Repeat this step for the left laser pod and its line using its front screw (F1) Fig. 36.

To check to see if the lasers intersect at the drill point:

1.Lay board flat on table (as shown in Fig. 37) and make sure it does not move.

2.Using a small drill bit with the machine off, lower the drill bit and make an impression in the board.

3.For both lasers, use the same hex key in the the back screw (G1) (Fig. 35 and 36) and dial the lasers so they both cross this point together, as shown in Figure 37.
