Assembly
Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
Never aim the beam at any person or object other than the work
piece. Do not deliberately aim the beam at personnel. Staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
UNPACK PRODUCT FROM PACKAGE AND REVIEW CONTENTS. KEEP ALL PACKAGING UNTIL
PRODUCT HAS BEEN REVIEWED.
Do not operate the machine until it is completely assembled.
Make sure the proper electrical regulations are followed, and that the machine is properly grounded. Before
switching the machine ON, ALWAYS: a. Make sure all chuck keys, spanners and wrenches are removed
from the machine. b. Examine the setup carefully, making certain that the workpiece is perfectly secure.
c. Make sure your clothing is properly adjusted.
Make all adjustments with the power OFF.
Always use the correct drilling speeds for the drill size, and the type of material being drilled.
NEVER leave the drill unattended while it is running. Turn the machine OFF and do not leave until it has
come to a complete stop. When you have finished with the machine, always remove and store the drill bits.
CAUTION: This Drill Press is designed for use with Drill Bits and Mortising attachments ONLY.
The use of other cutting tools or accessories could be hazardous. ALWAYS use clamps, or a drill
vise bolted to the table, to hold the work. It should NEVER be held in bare hands.
USING THE LASER
The laser light/laser radiation used in this laser centering device system is Class 2 with maximum 1 mW
and 400nm - 700nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring
at the beam may cause flash blindness.
Changing the Batteries
Unclip the battery cover to gain access to the batteries.
(Figure A) Replace both AA batteries, taking care to insert
the new batteries with the correct polarity. (Figure B)
(Figure A)
(Figure B)
Use only 2 AA batteries. DO NOT mix old and new batteries. DO NOT mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc)
or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Replace the laser light battery cover and make certain that the light is not directed towards the eye of a
person. Always make sure that the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces,
i.e. wood or rough surfaces are acceptable. Bright, shiny, reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for
laser use, as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator. Only turn the laser beam on
after the work piece is in place. CAUTION: Remove the laser light batteries when tool is to be stored
without use for a few days.
Resetting the Laser Beam
Loosen the set screw on each of the laser tubes and adjust the tubes until the two beams intersect at the
point where the drill bit touches the work piece. Retighten the set screws more. If left in position, the
batteries might leak and damage the laser light assembly. Damage caused by battery leakage is not
covered under warranty.
