SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS.
WARNING! During settings and adjustments, ensure that the drill press is
disconnected from the power supply.
TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the Table Support Clamp.
2. Slide the Table up or down the Column. Retighten the Clamp
TABLE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
1. The angle is adjusted by loosening the bolt that is located underneath the table with a spanner
and then setting to the required angle.
2. When set, retighten the bolt, checking that the angle has not changed as the bolt was tightened.
FITTING A DRILL BIT
1. Open the Chuck Jaws by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Insert the drill bit into the Chuck.
3. Holding the bit centered with one hand, rotate the collar of the chuck clockwise until the jaws grip
the drill shank. Insert the key into one of the 3 holes provided, and tighten the chuck until the bit
is secure.
SETTING THE DEPTH
To set the depth of the hole, adjust the Depth Stop (15) as follows:
1. Lower the chuck with the power OFF, until the drill bit touches the surface of the workpiece, and
hold in that position.
2. Spin down the adjuster nut so that the gap between its underside and top of bracket is the depth
of the hole required.
3. Screw down the lock nut and lock it against the adjuster nut.
The drill is now set to drill holes to your pre-determined depth from that particular start point, i.e.,
providing the surface of your workpiece is flat and level, you may drill a series of holes, each to the
same depth.
The scale and pointer can also be used when drilling individual holes.
Lower the chuck until the drill bit touches the work. Set the pointer against a point on the scale and
proceed to drill to the required depth, using the scale.
CHANGING THE SPEED
WARNING! Before changing the speed, ensure that the drill press is switched OFF
and disconnected from the power supply.
1. Open the Pulley Cover (1) by first removing the screw.
2. Slacken off the Belt Tension Lock (10) to relieve the tension on the drive belt.
3. Consult the chart inside the pulley cover, and position the belt on the pulleys according to the
spindle speed required.
4. When the belt has been correctly positioned, re-tension by levering the motor away from the
head. Lever the Motor (1) with its bracket, away from the head, so that tension is applied to the
belt. Tension is correct when the belt deflects by approx. 1/2”at its centre, when using reasonable
thumb pressure.
5. Lock the Motor in this position using the Belt Tension Lock.
6. Close the Pulley Cover and refit the screw.
OPERATION
It is recommended that this tool is always supplied via a Residual Current Device with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
TURNING ON AND OFF
NOTE: The belt cover must always be closed when operating the Drill Press.
1. Switch the drill press ON by pressing the green (l) button on the Switch (3).
