BELT TENSION (FIG. M)
To avoid injury from an accidental start, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position, the switch key
is removed, and the plug is not connected to the power
source outlet before making belt adjustments.
1. To release the belt tension, turn the belt tension
lock knobs (1) on each side of the drill press head
counterclockwise.
2. To tighten the belts, push the belt tension handle (2)
toward the rear (motor) end.
3. Lock the two belt tension lock knobs (1) by turning
clockwise.
NOTE: Belt tension is correct if the belt deflects
approximately 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) when pressed at its
center.
NOTE: To loosen the belts, pull the belt tension
handle toward the front (switch) end.

CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE THIS INNER NUT, because the
spring will forcibly unwind.
5. Carefully turn the spring cap (9) counterclockwise
with the screwdriver, engaging the next notch.
6. Lower the quill to the lowest position by rotating the
feed handle in a counterclockwise direction while
holding the spring cap (9) in position.
7. If the quill moves up and down as easily as you
desire, tighten the inner nut (10) with the adjustable
wrench. If too loose, repeat steps 3 through 5 to
tighten. If too tight, reverse steps 4 and 5. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN and restrict quill movement.
8. Replace the lock nut (6) and tighten against the inner
nut (10) to prevent the inner nut from reversing.

LASER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. N, O, P)
NOTE: The Laser Assembly has been installed and
preset at the factory. It should, however, be checked
and any adjustments made before operating the drill
press. It should also be rechecked periodically, as
constant machine vibration may cause it to become
misaligned.
A Laser light is radiated when the laser guide is turned
on. Avoid direct eye contact. Always unplug the drill
press from the power source before making any
adjustments.
1. Remove the guards (A1) to access the laser
assemblies.
2. Take a length of board (7) and draw a perpendicular
line (4) on one side using a square.
3. Place a small drill bit (1) in the chuck (2), then place
the board (7) on the table on edge against the drill bit
with the marked line side toward the back of the drill
press.
NOTE: The table should be in horizontal position and
locked. Verify that the line (4) is perpendicular to the
table.
4. Connect power to the drill press, and turn on the
laser using the button at the front of the drill press
head.
