OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE
FEEDING
Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.
Feeding too slowly might cause the drill to burn...feeding too rapidly might
stop the motor...cause the belt or drill to slip... tear the workpiece loose or
break the drill bit.
HOLE LOCATION
Make an indentation in the workpiece where you want the to drill a hole
using a centre punch or a sharp nail. Before turning the switch ON, bring
the drill bit down to the workpiece, lining it up with the hole location.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece. Always place a piece of
back-up material (wood, plywood) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering or making a heavy burr on the underside
of the workpiece as the drill breaks through. To keep the back-up material from spinning out of control, it must come in contact with the left side
of the column.
WARNING!
To prevent the workpiece or the back-up material from being torn from your hand while drilling, position them against the left side of
the column. If the workpiece or the back-up material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this could
result in personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
For your own safety, turn the switch “OFF” and remove the plug from the power source before maintaining or lubricating your drill
press.
• Keep the Drill Press clean and free of dust and debris. Painted surfaces can be wiped with a damp rag.
• Periodically lubricate all sliding or moving parts including the column, rack and the quill (use any all purpose grease, available at any hardware
store).
• Bearings in the quill and the pulleys are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required.
•
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor. After operation, remove chips or dirt on the machine and apply a coat of
furniture-type paste wax to the table and the column, this will help keep the surfaces clean and free of rust.
