Laser Adjustment
The Laser Assembly has been installed and preset at
the factory. It should, however, be checked and
adjustments made, if necessary, before operating the
drill press. It should also be rechecked periodically,
as constant machine use may cause it to become
misaligned. Make verifications and align as follows:
Referring to Figure 11:
1. Take a length of
board
(F) and draw a
perpendicular line
(E) on one side using a square.
2. Place a small
drill bit
(C) in the
chuck
(B), then
place the
board
(F) on the table on edge against
the
drill bit
(C) with the marked line side facing
toward the
laser
to be aligned (A
1
in this case).
Important
: The table should be in horizontal
position and locked.
3. Connect power to the drill press and turn o n
the laser using the button at the front of the
drill press head.
Two parallel
laser markings
will appear that should
look like G and H in Figure 11 – the distance
between the lines will vary with board thickness;
however, the lines must be parallel to each other
and
the marked line (vertical alignment).
If alignment is necessary:
Vertical Alignment
(refer to Figure 11)
5. Make slight adjustments to four
setscrews
(K
1-4
, Fig. 12) and move the
board
(F) from
side to side as required until the
laser light
(D)
lines up with the board
marking
(E).
6. Tighten all four setscrews so they are snug
against the laser housing, but do not over tighten.
Verify that the
laser light
is still lined up with
board marking
.
7. Adjust the other laser in the same manner.
Two resulting parallel
laser markings
should look like
G and H in Figure 11 – the distance between the lines
can vary but must be parallel to each other
and
the
marked line.
Cross Hair Alignment
(refer to Figure 13)
8. Place
board
(M) flat on the table. Do not allow
the board to move from this position; use
clamps if needed. Bring the bit down until it
leaves a
slight perforation
in the board (O)
then raise it back up.
9. Turn on the laser to check if the cross-hairs
intersect at the perforation.
If adjustment is required:
10. Choosing first one laser (A
1
in this case),
loosen two setscrews on the
same side
(either
side) of the
laser housing
equal amounts about
1/4 turn or less.

Figure 13
11. Adjust (L
1
) so the
laser line
(N
1
) crosses the
perforation (O); then retighten setscrews.
12. Adjust the other laser assembly in the same
manner until both laser lines form
cross-
hairs
(N
1
, N
2
) exactly over the
perforation
(O)
in the board.
13. Recheck the
vertical alignment
to insure that
the laser lines did not shift during the
tightening process.
The laser is now calibrated properly and the
location of your holes can be centered at the
crosshairs for accurate drilling.
