ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE LASER (Fig. R)
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Please observe all
safety rules.
• Never aim the beam at a person or an object other than the work-
piece.
• Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.
• Always make sure the laser beam is aimed at a non-reflective
workpiece, as the laser beam could project into your eyes or the
eyes of others.
1. Unplug the drill press and place a workpiece on the table.
2. Turn the laser switch to the ON position.
3. Lower the drill bit to meet the workpiece. The two laser lines should cross where the drill meets the workpiece.
4. If the laser needs to be adjusted:
A. Using a 3 mm hex key, turn the laser adjustment set screws (Fig. R - 1) counterclockwise.
B. Rotate the laser light housing (Fig. R - 2) until the two laser lines intersect where the drill meets the work-
piece. DO NOT stare directly at the laser lines.
5. Re-tighten the adjustment set screws (1). Be sure to not over tighten the set screws.

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (Fig. S)
The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main
components are a spring and a notched housing. The spring was properly
adjusted at the factory and should not be readjusted unless absolutely
necessary.
1. Unplug the drill press.
2. Place a screwdriver into the loop (Fig. S - 1) to hold the spring in place.
3. Loosen the two housing nuts (Fig. S - 3) approximately 1/4” (6 mm). Do not remove the nuts from the threaded
shaft. Do not allow the spring or spring housing to slip out of control.
4. While firmly holding the spring housing (Fig. S - 4), carefully pull the spring housing out until it clears the raised
notch (Fig. S - 2).
5. Turn the housing so that the next notch is engaged with the raised notch (Fig. S - 2).
• To increase the spindle return tension, turn the spring housing counter-clockwise.
• To decrease the tension, turn the spring housing clockwise.
6. Tighten the two housing nuts. Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the move-
ment of the spindle and feed handles will become sluggish.
