STARTING AND STOPPING
DRILL PRESS

The switch (A) Fig. 17, is located on the front of the drill
press head. To turn the drill press “ON” move the switch
to the up position. To turn the drill press “OFF” move the
switch to the down position.

LOCKING SWITCH IN
THE “OFF” POSITION

When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked
in the 

“OFF”

position to prevent unauthorized use of the

tool. To lock the switch in the 

“OFF”

position, grasp the

switch toggle (A) and pull it out of the switch, as shown
in Fig. 18. With the switch toggle (A) removed, the switch
will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be
removed while the drill press is operating, the switch can
be turned 

“OFF”

once, but cannot be restarted without

inserting the switch toggle (A).

TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

1.

The table (G) Fig. 19, can be raised or lowered on the

drill press column by loosening the table clamp handle
(K) and turning the table raising and lowering handle (J).
After the table is at the desired height, tighten handle (K).

2.

The table (G) Fig. 19, can be rotated 360 degrees on

the table bracket by loosening lock handle (H).

3.

The table can be tilted right or left by pulling out and

removing table alignment pin (B) Fig. 20. 

NOTE: 

If pin (B)
