ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)

3. Whilst holding the feed wheel handles (6), tighten the
depth indicator lock nuts (15) until they touch the metal
stop (Fig. 21).
4. Lift the feed wheel handles up and then proceed to operate
the drill press.
5. To disable the depth lock loosen the depth indicator lock
nuts (15) and reset to the desired position. Having these
in the highest position on the depth rod (16) will provide
maximum drilling capacity.
Changing the Speed
The speed of the drill press can be changed
by adjusting the belt on the pulley system.
Using a smaller pulley on the spindle/chuck
increases the drill speed. Using a larger
pulley on the spindle/chuck decreases the
drill speed.
1. Loosen the belt tension knob
(3) (Fig. 22).
2. Push the motor towards the
head assembly (12) and
tighten the belt tension
knob (3) (Fig. 23).
3. To adjust the belt speed, move the belt to the correct
pulley step for the speed required.
To select a faster drill speed, move the belt up to a
smaller step on the spindle/chuck pulley.
To select a slower drill speed move the belt down to
a larger step on the spindle/chuck pulley.
When moving the belt, it is easier to place the belt
onto the small pulley first and then turn it onto the
larger pulley (Fig. 24).
4. To apply tension to the belt once it has been fitted to a new speed setting,
loosen the belt tension
knob (3). The belt tension will automatically tension
the belt to the correct tension, then re-tighten the belt tension knob (3).
Turning On and Off
Note:
The pulley cover (1) is fitted with a safety switch and must be closed to
operate the drill press.
1. Switch the drill press on by pressing the green (I)
button on the switch (13) (Fig. 25).
2. Switch the drill press off by pressing the red (O)
button on the switch (13).
3. Secure your workpiece to the table (11) if possible,
use a vice or clamps (not supplied).
