ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE LASER (Fig. 14)

WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Please observe all

safety rules.

• Never aim the beam at a person or an object other than the work-

piece.

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

• Always make sure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece that

does not possess reflective surfaces, as the laser beam could project

into your eyes or the eyes of others.

1. Place a workpiece on the table.

2. Turn the laser switch to the ON position.

3. Lower the drill bit to meet the workpiece. The two laser lines should cross where the drill meets the workpiece.

4. If the laser needs to be adjusted:

a. Using a 3 mm hex key, turn the laser adjustment set screws (1) counterclockwise.

b. Rotate the laser light housing (2) until the two laser lines intersect where the drill meets the workpiece. DO

NOT stare directly at the laser lines.

5. Re-tighten the adjustment set screws (1).

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (Fig. 15a)

The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main

components are a spring and a notched housing. The spring was prop-

erly adjusted at the factory and should not be readjusted unless abso-

lutely necessary.

1. Unplug the drill press.

2. Place a screwdriver into the loop (1) to hold the spring in place.

3. Loosen the two housing nuts (3) approximately 1/4” (6 mm). Do not

remove the nuts from the threaded shaft. Do not allow the spring or spring housing to slip out of control.

4. While firmly holding the spring housing (4), carefully pull the spring housing out until it clears the raised notch

(2).

5. Turn the housing so that the next notch is engaged with the raised notch (2).

• To increase the spindle return tension, turn the spring housing counter-clockwise.

• To decrease the tension, turn the spring housing clockwise.

6. Tighten the two housing nuts. Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the move-

ment of the spindle and feed handles will become sluggish.
