We recommend using a piece of card stock on the Table when
leveling the drill bits to avoid drilling into the drill strip. This will
lengthen the life of your drill bits and keep them sharper.
To level the drill bit to the Table follow steps 4.3.3 through 4.3.5.
Loosen the Leveling Knob on the right hand side of the ma-
chine.
Pull down on the Handle to raise the Table until the hollow drill bit
is just touching the Drill Strip (EBM2-1034).
Hold the Handle in place and tighten down the Leveling Knob
until it hits the Handle Bracket. This will stop the Handle from
being pulled down too far.
It is important to always level the drill bit before each use and
after sharpening. This will make sure you don’t drill into the Drill
Strip--dulling the hollow drill bit.

Adjust the Back-gauge so that it is the correct distance from the
edge of the product to the center of the hole to be drilled by per-
forming the following:
Loosen the Clamp Knob on the right side of the Back-gauge.
Using the two (2) Scales embedded in the rear corners of the
table, align the front edge of the Back-gauge with the desired
distance.
Zero (0) on these scales align with the center of the hollow drill
bits.
Tighten down the Clamp Knob when the Back-gauge
is positioned as desired.
