How do you Mine Asteroids?

Hello, I have read the faq for an answer but found none, so I am writing here. I just bought an asteroid miner with 4 asteroid lasers, and an asteroid scoop. I find that I cannot fire my lasers like I normally do (spacebar) and that It is impossible for me to mine asteroids. How do I mine asteroids? Thanks.

And just for your information, the mining lasers fire with the secondary weapons trigger.
