IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR DRILL PRESS

   • Do not operate the laser around children or allow children

      to operate the laser / power tool.
   • Do not disassemble. Modifying the product in any way 

      can increase the risk of laser radiation. Use of controls or

      adjustments or performance of procedures other than 

      those specified in this manual may result in hazardous

      laser radiation exposure.
   • Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

      presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
   • Store idle product out of reach of children and other

      untrained persons. Lasers / power tools are dangerous

      in the hands of untrained users.
   • Use only accessories that are recommended by the

      manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be

      suitable for one laser / power tool, may create a risk of 

      injury when used on another laser / power tool.
   • Repairs and servicing MUST be performed by a qualified

      repair facility. Repairs performed by unqualified

      personnel could result in serious injury.
   • Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels

      increases the risk of exposure to radiation.

WARNING

LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE

EXPOSURE.

 Do not stare into the laser light source.

Never aim light at another person or object other than

the work piece. Laser light can damage your eyes.

WARNING

LASER RADIATION.

 Never aim the beam at a work

piece with a reflective surface. Bright shiny reflective

sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not

recommended for laser use. Reflective surfaces could

direct the beam back toward the operator.

WARNING

DO NOT

 use tinted glasses to enhance the laser light.

Tinted glasses will reduce overall vision for the

application and interfere with the normal operation of

the tool.

   • For indoor use only.
   • This product is intended for use in a temperature range

      of 41°F (5°C) - 104°F (40°C).

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage 

to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a

seperate electrical circuit for your tool. Your drill

press is wired at the factory for 120 V operation.

Connect to a 120 V, 2.3 Amp circuit and use a

2.3 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid 

shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged

in any way, have it replaced immediately.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric

currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool

is equipped with an electrical cord that has an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION

 of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor

with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is

the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement

of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the 

equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CHECK

 with a qualified electrician or service person if you

do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if 

you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.

USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged

grounding plugs with three- pole receptacles that accept

the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords 

immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the

operator from electrical shock.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must

not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a

2.3 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the 

power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the

electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on

the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage

the motor.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS USE THE

PROPER EXTENSION CORD.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use an

extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning

out of the motor. The table below shows the correct size to

use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.

If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good 

condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have

it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect

your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and

damp or wet areas.
