knob (E).
Lower the spindle until the drill bit
touches the workpiece.
Rotate the scale ring to the desired
drill depth and tighten the lock knob
(D).
Engage the feed mechanism by
pushing out the down feed handles
(F).
Rotate the micro-feeding hand wheel
(P).
The spindle will feed down until the set
drill depth has been reached.
The feed will disengage and the
spindle will return to the top by spring
force.
6.3 Automatic down feed
Adjust the desired power down feed
(Z, Fig 8).
Fig 8
Loosen the downfeed handle lock

3) to “0“ position.
Reference values for feed speed
The feed speed depends on the drill
bit diameter and the material of the
workpiece.
The larger the drill bit and the harder
the workpiece, the lower the feed
speed and the lower the spindle rpm.
