Figure 5-1
Inspect contents of crate for shipping damage.
Report any damage immediately to your distributor
and shipping agent. Do not discard any shipping
material until drill press is assembled and running
properly.
Remove any fasteners holding drill press to pallet.
Lift drill press with forklift or hoist with straps.
(Note: Lifting point is beneath head and next to
column.) Make sure handles, levers, etc. are clear
of forks or straps when lifting.
Lifting equipment
must be properly rated for weight of drill press.
Position machine on a solid, level floor, preferably
concrete. Area should have good overhead lighting
and ventilation. (Refer to OSHA regulations for
specific information about using drill presses in
industrial environments.) The drill press should be
level and rest solidly on floor. Place shims below
base as needed to achieve level.
5.2 Securing base
It is strongly recommended that the drill press be
secured to floor. The base has four mounting slots;
see Figure 4-1. When securing base to floor, apply
even torque to the fasteners to prevent distortion of
base.
5.3 Assembly
Install crank handle onto worm gear shaft to raise
and lower table. See B, Figure 7-1. Secure handle
by tightening set screw.
Install smaller handle onto crank handle and
tighten nut.
5.4 Cleanup
Exposed metal surfaces have been given a
protective coating. Remove this with a soft cloth
and a cleaner-degreaser or kerosene. Do not use
gasoline, paint thinner or acetone, as these can
mar painted surfaces. Do not use an abrasive pad,
which may scratch polished surfaces.
Coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light coat of
standard SAE20 machine tool oil, to inhibit rust.
6.0 Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
IMPORTANT: The JDPE-20EVS-PDF series Drill
Presses operate on
single phase, 115 volt
incoming power.
The drill press uses an inverter (inside control box)
to provide infinitely variable spindle speeds within
the specified ranges. The inverter controls the
speed of the motor by varying the frequency of the
voltage supplied to the motor. It converts the 115V
single phase input to run the three phase, 230V
motor. The inverter has been programmed by the
manufacturer; do not attempt to adjust or modify it.
If you suspect a problem with the inverter, contact
JET technical service.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in
off position.
It is recommended that the Drill Press be
connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with circuit
breaker or time delay fuse rated “D”.
NOTE: Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.
