WARNING: DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LASER BEAM! Deliberately staring into

the beam couuld be hazardous. Please observe all safety rules as follows:

• The laser must be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.

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

• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece without reflective surfaces as the laser

  beam could be projected into your eyes or the eyes of others.

INSTALL DRILL BITS (Fig. 21)

1. Place the chuck key (1) into the side keyhole of the

chuck (2), meshing the gear teeth (3).

2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the

chuck jaws (4).

3. Insert a drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain

maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.

4. Centre  the  drill  bit  in  the  chuck  jaws  before

final tightening of the chuck.

5. Use the chuck key for the final tightening to make

sure the drill bit will not slip while drilling.

     WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only use

the chuck key provided with this drill press or a

duplicate of it. 

This chuck key is self-ejecting and will

“pop” out of the chuck when you let go. This action is

designed to help prevent throwing of the chuck key

from the chuck when power is turned “on”. Do not use

any  other  key  as  a  substitute; order  a  new  one

if damaged or lost.

     WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make

sure  the  chuck  key  is  removed  from  the  chuck

before starting any drilling operation.

LASER SWITCH (Fig. 22)

The laser switch (1) is located on the left side of the

drill press housing.
