WARNING!
For your own safety, turn the switch
OFF and remove the plug from the power source
before making any adjustements. To avoid injury
from thrown parts due to the spring release,
follow instructions carefully and wear safety
glasses.
Drilling to a specific depth
To drill a blind hole (not all the way through) to a
given depth, proceed as follows.
1. Mark the depth of the hole on the workpiece.
2. Loosen the depth scale lock knob (A) Fig.19.
3. With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit down
until the tip of the lips of the drill bit are even
with the mark (B).
4. Turn the depth scale (C) counterclockwise
until it stops moving.
5. Tighten the depth scale lock knob.
The drill bit will stop at this depth until the depth
scale is readjusted.
Another way-depth scale
1. With the power OFF, loosen the depth scale
lock knob (A) Fig.19.
2. Place workpiece on table. Adjust table until
the tip of the drill is just a little above the top of
the workpiece.
3. Turn the depth scale (C) clockwise until the
depth scale indicator (D) points to the desired
drilling depth on the scale.
4. Tighten the depth scale lock knob.
5. The chuck or drill will now be stopped after
traveling downward the distance selected on the
depth scale.
Quill return spring
NOTE: The return spring tension is set at the
factory and should not require further
adjustment.
1. With the chuck at its highest possible position,
turn the depth scale (C) clockwise until it stops and
tighten the depth scale lock knob (A). This will
prevent the quill from dropping while tensioning
the spring.
2. Lower the table for additional clearance.
3. Work from the left side of the drill press.
4. Place screwdriver in the lower front notch (A)
of the spring cap (B), and hold it in place while
loosening and removing the outer nut (C) (only).
5. With screwdriver remaining in the notch, loosen
inner nut (D) (approx. 1/8”) until the notch
disengages from the boss on the head. Do not
remove this nut.
6. Carefully turn screwdriver counterclockwise and
engage the next notch (E) in the boss. Do not
remove screwdriver.
7.
Tighten nut with wrench only enough to engage
boss. Do not over tighten as this will restrict quill
movement.
8. Check tension while turning feed handles.
9.If there is not enough tension on the spring,
repeat steps 4-8 moving only one notch each time
and checking tension after each repetition.
