The Laser Assembly has been installed and pre-
set at the factory. It should, however, be checked
for alignment and any adjustments made before
operating the drill press. It should be re-checked
periodically, as long-term machine vibration may
cause it to become misaligned.

1. Take a length of board (A, Figure 22) and draw
a perpendicular line (B) on one side using a
square.

Vertical Alignment
4. Use the socket head screw (H, Figure 23)
located toward front of laser assembly, to
adjust verticality of laser line. Turn screw as
needed (2.5mm hex wrench), and move board
side-to-side as needed, until laser light (E)
aligns with board marking (B).

5. Adjust the other laser in the same manner.
Two parallel laser markings should look like F
and G in Figure 22. The distance between the
lines will vary with board thickness; however,
the lines must be parallel.
