1. Position table at the horizontal (zero degrees
on scale).
2. Insert a small drill bit into the chuck.
3. Place a scrap board flat on the table. Do not
allow board to move from this position; use
clamps to secure it if needed. Bring the bit
down until it
leaves a slight perforation in the
board; then raise it back up.
4. Connect power to the drill press, and turn on
the laser using the button at the front of the
drill press head.
5. Use a set of pliers to gently turn either of the
knobs (Figure 26) until the laser lines form
crosshairs exactly over the perforation in the
board, as shown in Figure 27.
The laser is now calibrated properly, and your hole
center marks can be centered under the cross
hairs for accurate drilling.
NOTE: The lasers are designed for use with twist
drill bits; they will not be effective for wider tools,
such as Forstner bits or sanding drums.

The LED indicator (C, Figure 29) will display a
white light in the ready state; that is, whenever
there is power connected to the Drill Press.
Do not rely that no light means
no power to the machine. Always check for
power connection, in case LED indicator is not
functioning properly. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
The LED indicator will display a green light when
the start button has been pressed and the drill
press is operating.
If power to the drill press is
interrupted, the machine will restart
immediately once power is restored, unless the
red stop button has been pushed.
