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.
