OPERATION.
1 .
Insert the drill bit into the jaws of the chuck by approx 1", ensuring that the jaws do not
touch the flutes of the drill. Before tightening the chuck ensure that the drill is centred
within the jaws.
2.
Ensure the table height and position is set, so that drill travel is sufficient for the job in
hand.
3.
Ensure the work is securely clamped or held in a drill vice, bolted to the table. Never
hold it with bare hands. Severe personal injury may be caused if the workpiece is
whipped out of the operator’s hand, and, damage to the machine incurred if the work
strikes the column.
If the piece is of irregular shape and cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be
securely blocked and clamped.
Any tilting, twisting or shifting, results not only in a
rough hole but also increases drill breakage.
4.
For small workpieces, that cannot be clamped to
the table, use a Drill Press Vice. The vice must be
clamped or bolted to the table.
5.
When drilling completely through wood, always
position a piece of scrap wood between the
workpiece and the table to prevent splintering on
the underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks
through. The scrap piece of wood must make
contact with the left side of the column as shown in
Fig 12. In addition, set the depth of drill travel so
that the drill cannot possibly come into contact
with the table, or align the table so that the hole in
its’ centre is directly in line with the drill bit.
6.
When completely satisfied that the setup is sound, lower the Chuck Guard into
place, and switch the machine ON by pushing the GREEN ‘I’ button. To switch
OFF...push the RED ‘O’ button, see fig. 13.
NOTE:
a. As a safety feature, the ON/OFF switch is a No Volt
Release type. Therefore, if the power is interrupted
whilst the machine is switched ON, it will not
automatically start when the power is restored.
b. A Micro switch is provided within the Pulley Cover,
which prevents the machine from operating unless
the Pulley Cover is firmly closed. It is important that this
switch operates correctly at all times, and should be
checked as described on page 10.
Drill Press Vices, Cross Vices and Clamps,
are available from your CLARKE dealer.
