13. Increment Indicators - The indicator bar will illuminate under the selected measurement
increment, either Inch or Millimeter (mm). The Inch indicator will be illuminated for either
Fractional Inches or Decimal Inches.
14. Auto Start Button - Used for repeated hole drilling to automatically start the spindle when
pulling down on the quill stroke handle. When the Auto Start function is selected, the
indicator bar will be illuminated. The motor ON/OFF button must be in the ON position for
the Auto Start feature to work. If the ON/OFF button is in the OFF position, the motor will
not start when the Auto Start function is active. The chuck key must be in the chuck key
holder for the Auto Start function to operate. This is a safety so that the chuck does not
start spinning when Auto Start is selected while users are tightening or loosening the
chuck. Error 9 will display on the touch screen if the Auto Start button is on and the chuck
key is not in the holder. The drill press will not start when the chuck key is out of the
holder AND if Auto Start is selected. The drill press will default to Auto Start Off when the
drill press is powered on after being shut off or unplugged.
15. Auto Reverse - The Auto Reverse function is most often used when tapping to back the
tap out of the hole after reaching the bottom. When the Auto Reverse function is selected,
the illumination bar under the button will be lit. The RPM speed is limited to 600 RPM
when using the Auto Reverse function to help prevent tap breakage. An error will display if
Auto Reverse is selected, and the speed is set faster than 600 RPM. Pre-drill the correct
hole size for the tap you will use. When tapping using the Auto Reverse function, start the
tap into the hole by pulling down on the quill stroke handle. Once the tap is started, it will
pull itself down into the hole until it reaches the preset depth setting. Once it reaches the
preset depth, the auto reverse function will immediately reverse the bit and back it out of
the hole. For best results, use matched drill/tap sets, use proper RPM for the size and
type of drill and tap used, lubricate drill/tap with appropriate tapping fluid, and provide extra
space at the bottom of a blind hole so that the tap does not bottom out.
16. Live Depth Display - Displays the actual depth value during the quill travel. The default
zero point is at the top of the quill stroke. The display can be zeroed out at the material
surface by lowering the drill bit to the material surface and hitting the Zero button. When
the display is zeroed out at the material surface, the display will show negative values
once drilling into the material.
17. Load Meter Display - The load display will illuminate all the load bars during start up and
will return to a single bar when there is no load. The number of load bars displayed will
increase when drilling as the load increases. This is particularly noticeable when using
larger diameter drill bits, when drilling difficult materials, or if the RPM is incorrect for the
specific bit and material being drilled. Dull drill bits can also cause the load meter to read
higher than expected. If the display is showing loads in the Red Zone when drilling, stop to
inspect the bit, materials, RPM selected, or reduce the quill feed pressure. If the Red
indicators are still displaying after checking these items, contact Laguna Customer Service
for assistance.
