Turning on the REDEYE® laser line generator

1.The REDEYE® laser line generator emits two intense narrow beams of pure red light that intersect at the drilling point.

2. The intersection is clearly visible and will not be obscured by dust. It improves operator drilling vision, enables faster set-up, increases accuracy and

improves safety.

3.To turn the laser line on press the laser light on/off switch (1).

4.To turn off the laser line press the laser light on/off switch (1).

Adjusting the laser

1.Clamp a scrap piece of material to the table.

2.Insert a drill bit into the chuck jaws.

3.Turn on the drill press.

4.Using the feed handle lower the spindle and make a small mark in the workpiece.

5.Turn on the laser line generator.

6.If the laser is not aligned with the mark in the workpiece, adjust as follows.

7.Using the 3mm hex key loosen the set screw that secures the laser light assembly.

8.Rotate the laser beam until it intersects the mark in the workpiece.

9.Repeat the process for the opposite side.

Operation

CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill press is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments.

CAUTION. For through drilling always ensure that the hole in the centre of the table is aligned with the drill bit.

WARNING. On start-up over-tightening the belt may prevent the drill press from starting.

WARNING. Don’t force the drill, allow the drill bit to do the work.

1.Adjust the table height, table angle, drilling depth and speed as required for the application.

2.Insert the drill bit required for the application.

3.Mark the drilling points on the workpiece.

4.Switch on the laser line and line up the drilling point with the intersection point of the two beams.

5.Where possible secure the workpiece in position with vice or clamps.

6.Turn on the drill press using the on/off switch.

7.Rotate the feed wheel to bring the drill bit down to the workpiece.

8.Apply pressure to the feed wheel and slowly drill through the workpiece. Don’t force the drill, allow the drill bit to do the work.

9.After drilling the hole release the feed wheel and allow the spindle to return to its original position.

10.Turn off the drill press.

11.Turn off the laser line generator.
