Cross Hair Alignment
6. Place board (K, Figure 8-10) flat on table. Do
not allow board to move from this position; use
clamps if needed. Bring the bit down until it
leaves a slight perforation in the board; then
raise it back up.
7. Use the screw (Figure 8-9) located toward back
of laser assembly, to adjust the cross hair. Turn
screw as needed until laser line (M) crosses
perforation (L).
8. Adjust the other laser assembly in the same
manner until the laser lines form cross
hairs exactly over perforation in board, as
shown in Figure 8-10.

9. Re-check vertical alignment to ensure that the
laser lines did not shift during the procedure.
The laser is now calibrated properly and the location
of your holes can be centered at the cross hairs for
accurate drilling.
