7. Rotate the laser beam until
it intersects the mark in the
workpiece.
8. Repeat the process for the
opposite side.

Operation

CAUTION.
Always ensure that
the drill press is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments.
CAUTION.
For through drilling always ensure that the hole
in the centre of the table is aligned with the drill bit.
WARNING.
On start-up over-tightening the belt may prevent
the drill press from starting. The motor is spring loaded. Do
NOT force the drill back hard to tension the belt.
WARNING.
Don't force the drill, allow the drill bit to do
the work.
1. Adjust the table height, table angle, drilling depth and
speed as required for the application.
2. Insert the drill bit required for the application.
3. Mark the drilling points on the workpiece.
4. Switch on the laser line and line up the drilling point with
the intersection point of the two beams.
5. Where possible secure the workpiece in position with vice
or clamps.
6. Turn on the drill press using the on/off switch.
7. Rotate the feed wheel to bring the drill bit down to the
workpiece.
8. Apply pressure to the feed arms and slowly drill through
the workpiece. Don't force the drill: allow the drill bit to do
the work.
9. After drilling the hole release the feed wheel and allow
the spindle to return to its original position.
10. Turn off the drill press.
11. Turn off the laser line generator.

Wood drilling

For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits
for wood drilling.
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning
when drilling.
When drilling through holes, place a block of wood
behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered
edges on the back side of the hole.

Metal drilling

For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
Use a centre punch to mark the hole location on the
workpiece.
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much
pressure will:
Overheat the drill
Wear the bearings
Bend or burn bits
Produce off-centre or irregular shaped holes
When drilling large holes in metal it is recommended to
drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger bit.
Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action
and increase bit life.

Maintenance

WARNING.
Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making
and adjustments or maintenance procedures.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Cleaning

1. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
