- Hold the feed handle at this position.
- Spin the lower nut (B2) down to contact the depth stop lug (13) on the head.
- Spin the upper nut (B1) down and tighten against the lower nut.
- The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped after traveling downward the distance
selected on the depth scale.
Depth scale method (Fig. 6)
Note: for this method, with the spindle in its upper position the tip of the drill bit must be
just slightly above the top of the workpiece.
Switch off the machine, lower the dril so far until the indicator (g) points at the desired
drilling depth of the depth scale (e).
- Turn the lower nut (B2) downwards until it reaches the lower stop (13).
Lock the lower nut (B1) against the upper nut.
- The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped after traveling downward the distance
selected on the depth scale.
Positioning table and workpiece (Fig. 15)
Always place a piece of back up material (H) ('wood, plywood...) on the table underneath
the workpiece (B). This will prevent splintering or making a heavy burr on the underside
of the workpieces as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the back up material from
spinning out of control it must contact the left side of the column as illustrated.
Warning:
TO prevent the work piece or the backup material from being torn from your hand while drilling, posi-
tion them to the left s'de of the column. If the work piece or the backup material are not long enough
to reach the column, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.
Note: for small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (Optional accessory
sold in most tool shops).
The vice must be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury from spinning work and vise or tool breakage.
Drilling a hole
Make a dent in the workpiece where you want the hole, using a center punch or a sharp nail. Before turning the switch on, bring the drill down to the work-
piece lining it up with the hole location.
Turn the switch on and pull down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.
FEEDING TOO SLOWLY might cause the drill bit to burn.
FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY might stop the motor, cause the belt or drill to slip. tear the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit.
When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with cutting fluid to prevent burning the drill bit.

Maintenance
WARNING:
For your own safety, turn the switch off and remove plug from power source outlet before any operation of maintenance on our drill press.
Keep your appliance clean
Be careful some household cleaning products and solvents such as benzine, trichloroethane, chloride, ammonium, etc.. can damage plastic parts.
TO avoid motor damage, blow out or vacuum frequently this motor to keep drill press dust from interfering With normal motor ventilation.
Power cord
TO avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
Lubrication
All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory No further lubrication is required.
Periodically lubricate the splines -grooves -in the spindle.
To lubricate the splines, bring down the quill and inject the grease into the spindle from the top of the pulley. Bring the quill up and down a few times.
