the workpiece where you will be drilling.
2. Turn the laser “ON” and align the laser lines (x) with the
indentation before turning the drill ON.
TILTING THE TABLE (FIG. CC)
NOTE: The table arm and support (1) has a predrilled hole
with a locking pin inserted for locking the table into a pre-
drilled 0° bevel angle.
1. TIGHTEN the nut (2) on the locking pin using a 10mm or
adjustable wrench clockwise to RELEASE it from the table
support.
2. Loosen the large hex head table bevel locking bolt (3)
using a 17mm or adjustable wrench.

To prevent injury, be sure to hold the
table & table arm assembly, so it will not
swivel or tilt.
3. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement to
the zero line opposite the scale (4).
4. Tighten the table bevel locking bolt (3).
5. To return the table to its original position, loosen the table
bevel locking bolt (3). Return the table (1) to the 0° position.
6. Return nut (2) on locking pin to the OUTSIDE END OF
THREADS. Gently tap locking pin until it is seated in the
mating hole of the table bracket. Hand tighten nut (2).
W A R N I N G
To avoid injury from spinning work or
tool breakage, always clamp workpiece
and backup material securely to the table before operating
the drill press.
FEEDING
1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow
the drill bit to cut.
2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to slip, tear
the workpiece loose or break the drill bit.
3. When drilling metal, it is necessary to lubricate the drill bit
tip with oil to prevent burning of the workpiece and bit.
