Read and understand the
entire contents of this manual before
attempting set-up or operation. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
Unpacking and Clean-Up
1. Remove the shipping crate.
2. Remove the protective coating from all rust
protected surfaces with a soft cloth moistened
with kerosene or a mild solvent. Do not use
acetone, gasoline, or paint thinner, as these
may damage painted surfaces.
3. To prevent rust, apply a thin coat of metal
sealer to the table.
Lifting the JDP-20EVS
Keep people a safe distance
away from the drill press while it is being
moved. Failure to comply may cause damage
to property and/or serious bodily injury.
1. Make sure the two head locking bolts (refer to
A, Fig. 4) are tight prior to lifting.
4. Position the JDP-20EVS next to the area that
will be used for the machine.
5. The “Lifting Point” should be used to raise the
drill press off of the shipping pallet.
6. Lift the machine at the “Lifting Point” with a
forklift. Use a 2x4 on the fork to protect the
head.
NOTE: You should remove the coolant hose
holder so that it is not damaged during lifting.
Installation
The drill press must be located in a dry, well-lighted
area with adequate room on all sides of the
machine. The floor must be level and the drill press
must rest solidly on the floor. The most accurate
and vibration free operation will require the drill
press to be bolted to the floor. While this is not
absolutely necessary, it is highly recommended.
Place shims near the four bolt holes to level the
drill press, if necessary. Figure 2 shows the hole
dimensions of the base. Equal pressure should be
applied to all four nuts when tightening to prevent
distortion of the base.
