•DO NOT use optical tools such as a transit to view laser beam.
•DO NOT project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.
•DO NOT project laser beam onto a reflective surface.
•DO NOT operate around children or allow children to operate.
•DO NOT disassemble the laser.

Install the Alignment Tools in the Chucks
1. Remove the inserts from the chucks and position the
alignment tools in each chuck.
2. Use 5 mm hex wrench to tighten the mounting bolts.
Align Laser Beam with Chuck Centerline
1. On one chuck, use the switch to turn on the
alignment tool.
2. Place paper target perpendicular to the mounted
alignment tool 2 to 3 feet in front of the chuck.
3. Spin the chuck handwheel and, with a pencil,
mark the laser beam's circular path on the paper
4. Adjust the set screws in the alignment tool face
with a 2.5 mm hex wrench to draw the laser beam
toward the center of the path traced on the paper.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the laser beam is a
fixed pinpoint and does not trace a circle when
spinning the chuck. This ensures the laser beam
is aligned with the centerline of the chuck in which
it is mounted.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the opposing chuck.
Align Opposing Chucks with Each Other
1. Remove the paper targets and allow the laser beams to point at the target on the opposing alignment tool.
2. Adjust each chuck until the laser beam points at the center of each target.
3. Adjust the level and tram of the chuck system; use the alignment target boss (tram boss) for reference.
4. Repeat the process until chucks are aligned and level and tram are maintained.
5. Turn off lasers and remove the alignment tools from the chucks.
6. Reinstall the chuck inserts.
