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. Anaccidentalstart-upcancauseinjury.
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. Usingacarpenter'ssquareorsimilardevice,drawa
straightline(C1)Fig.34onascrapboard.
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,asshown.
3. Turn laser on so the red lines are shining on board as
shown.Checktoseeifbothredlines(E1)Fig.34are
parallelwiththeline(C1)youdrew.
If they are not:
1. Using an included hex key, turn the front screw
(F1)Fig.35ontherightlaserpodsothatitsredline
is parallel with the line you drew on the board.
2. Repeat this step for the left laser pod and its line
usingitsfrontscrew(F1)Fig.36.
To check to see if the lasers intersect at the drill
point:
1. Layboardatontable(Fig.37)andmakesureitdoes
not move.
2. Usingasmalldrillbitwiththemachineoff,lowerthe
drill bit and make an impression in the board.
3. For both lasers, use the same hex key in the the
backscrew(G1)(Fig.35and36)anddialthelasers
so they both cross this point together, as shown in
Figure37.
