13.8.4 Battery-Operated Laser

The battery-operated laser (laser class 1 M) is already mounted at the factory when the machine is delivered and
precisely aligned with the spindle resp. drill centre. Please do not change this setting under any circumstances!

Please also read the section  13.8.1 "Making a Mortise with the Laser Beam".
13.8.4.1 Battery Change
• Before changing the battery, switch off the machine and secure or lock the main switch.
• Switch off the laser via the switch (P) on the laser housing.
• Unscrew  the battery cover (B) at the back and remove the old battery.
• Insert the new battery into the battery compartment and observe the polarity.
• Screw  the battery cover (B) back in and switch on the laser as needed.
Fire, explosion and burn hazard!
Never recharge conventional type AA batteries or expose them to temperatures above 85° C.
Please dispose of the used batteries in a professional and environmentally friendly manner.

13.8.5 Realignment of the Laser

If the laser is misaligned or the centre of the drilled hole is no longer in exact alignment with the laser beam, the
laser must be realigned. The lateral adjustment is made via the oblong hole on the mounting bracket for the laser
device, in which the two fastening screws are located.

Figure 33: Realignment of the laser

• When the position and parallelism are perfect, tighten the two screws (S) again.
Note: The tilt setting of the laser has no or little influence on the quality of the laser beam at this short distance.
The tilt should be approx. as shown in the figure above and the laser beam should be sharp and clearly visible.

• Switching ON and OFF is done via the switch (P)
at the back of the laser housing.
• For power supply, either a
- 1.5 VDC battery (type AA) or a
- rechargeable 1.2 VDC battery
is inserted into the battery compartment (B).
• The battery life for continuous operation is
approx. 15 to 20 hours.
• On the table top there is a notch as a reference point
for alignment. This position corresponds exactly to the
spindle or drill centre.
S
• Loosen the two screws (S) on the bracket.
• Switch on the laser device ( Figure 31 or  Figure 32).
• Then align the laser beam exactly to the position of
the notch by moving it sideways. At the same time
make sure that the laser beam is parallel to the drill.
This can be done with the help of a 90° stop angle by
placing it horizontally against the table stop plate.
