ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE LASER (Fig. 15 and 16)

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 workpiece.

• Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.

• Always make sure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece that does

not possess reective surfaces, as the laser beam could project into your

eyes or the eyes of others.

1. Place a workpiece on the table.

2. Turn the laser switch (1) to the ON position.

3. Lower the drill bit to meet the workpiece (2). 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 (3) coun-

terclockwise.

b. Rotate the laser light housing (4) until the two laser lines intersect where the drill meets the workpiece.

DO NOT stare directly at the laser lines.

5. Re-tighten the adjustment set screws (3).

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (Fig. 17)

The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main components are a spring and a notched hous-

ing. 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 (1) to hold the spring in place.

3. Loosen the two housing nuts (2) 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 (3), carefully pull the spring housing

out until it clears the raised notch (4).

5. Turn the housing so that the next notch (5) is engaged with the raised notch (4).

• 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.
