Turning on the REDEYE ®
laser line generator
1. The REDEYE ® laser line
generator emits two intense
narrow beams of pure red
light that intersect at the
drilling point.
2. The intersection is clearly
visible and will not be
obscured by dust. It improves
operator drilling vision, enables
faster set-up, increases
accuracy and
improves safety.
3. To turn the laser line on press
the laser light on/off switch (1).
4. To turn off the laser line press the laser light on/off switch (1).
Adjusting the laser
1. Clamp a scrap piece of
material to the table.
2. Insert a drill bit into the
chuck jaws.
3. Turn on the drill press.
4. Using the feed handle lower
the spindle and make a small
mark in the workpiece.
5. Turn on the laser line
generator.
6. If the laser is not aligned with
the mark in the workpiece,
adjust as follows.
7. Using the 3mm hex key loosen
the set screw that secures the
laser light assembly.
8. Rotate the laser beam until
it intersects the mark in the
workpiece.
9. 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.
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 wheel 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.
