1.
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS
INJURy:
Turn off and unplug the Drill
Press before changing drill speed.
2. Open the Pulley Cover.
3. Loosen the Belt Tension Lock Knobs
on both sides of the Head and turn the
Belt Tension Lever clockwise. This will bring
the Motor Pulley towards the Spindle Pulley,
removing all tension from the drive Belts.
4. Consult
Figure A
(or the chart inside the
Pulley Cover) and install the Belts on the
Pulleys in the positions that correspond
to the required spindle/drill speed.
5. When the Belts have been correctly positioned,
tighten them by turning the Belt Tension Lever
counterclockwise. The tension is correct when the
belts deflect by approximately 1/2″ at their centers of
run when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock
this position in with the two Belt Tension Lock Knobs.
Note:
If a belt is too long to be properly
tensioned, it must be replaced.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Loosen the Column Clamp (B16) and adjust Table
height to accommodate the workpiece being drilled.
6. Secure the workpiece (and backup material) to the
Table using a vise and/or clamp.
The workpiece sits on the backup material.
To keep it from spinning, have it touching
the left side of the Column Tube.
7. Adjust the height and left/right position of
the Table. Tighten the Column Clamp.
8. Bring the drill bit down with the Feed Handle to
where the hole is to be drilled.
Make minor workpiece alignment adjustments.
General Operating Instructions
1. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Insert the Switch Key (18) into
the Locking Switch (15).
WARNING! Wear an ANSI-approved, full face
shield while drilling any type of material.
3. Push the Switch up to turn the Motor ON.
4. Pull down on the Feed Handle and slowly
drill the hole into the workpiece.
WARNING!
If the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece,
do not attempt to stop the spinning with your hands.
Step back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the
spindle to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.
5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Using the Depth Scale to Measure Depth While Drilling
1. Secure the workpiece to the Table.
2. Loosen the Depth Screw Lock.
3. Adjust the Table height so that the tip of
the drill bit is just above the workpiece.
4. Turn the Depth Stop Ring clockwise to “0.”
5. Tighten the Depth Screw Lock.
6. Turn the Drill Press ON and turn the Feed Handle
counterclockwise to drill the hole.
While drilling, watch the pointer and scale
on the Depth Stop Ring. Stop turning
the Feed Handle when the pointer and
scale indicate the desired depth.
7. Turn the Drill Press OFF.
