OPERATION
Refer to Figures 4, 5 and 6.
WARNING:
Read and understand operating instructions and
parts manual before operating this machine.
CAUTION:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool
operation.
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Figures 4 and 6.
WARNING:
Be sure drill press is turned off and is disconnected
from power source before adjusting speeds.
•
To change spindle speed, loosen motor lock handle (Ref. No.
70), pivot the motor toward front of drill press. This will loosen
the belt and permit relocating the belt to the desired pulley
groove for the required spindle speed (See Figure 4).
•
After belt has been repositioned, pull handle (Ref. No. 71) to
move motor toward rear of drill press and tighten motor lock
handle.
•
Check belt for proper tension and make any final adjustment. A
belt is properly tensioned when light pressure applied to mid-
point of the belt produces about 1/2” deflection.
TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Figure 5.
•
Height adjustments: To adjust table, loosen locking handle (Ref.
No. 15) and turn crank handle (Ref. No. 5) to desired height.
Immediately retighten table bracket locking handle.
•
Rotation of work table : Loosen table locking handle (Ref. No.
25) and rotate table (Ref. No. 16) to desired position and
retighten handle.
•
Tilting work table: Loosen hex head bolt (Ref. No. 23). Remove
pin and nut (Ref. No. 26). To do this, tighten nut until pin slips
out easily. Tilt table to desired angle up to 45° and retighten
hex head bolt. Reinsert pin and nut when returning the table to
0° position.
•
To obtain more distance between chuck and table, the work
table can be rotated 180° and base can be used as a work sur-
face. This permits drilling of larger objects.
•
Clamp table securely after adjustments have been made.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 6.
To control drilling depth, use scale (Ref. No. 25) to adjust to desired
depth. Depress and hold pin, slide depth stop nut along lead screw
(Ref. Nos. 24, 26 and 28) until bottom edge of nut coincides with
the desired depth on the scale, then release pin. Use this feature to
drill more than one hole to the same depth.
MOUNT DRILL BIT
WARNING:
Be sure drill press is turned off and is disconnected
from power source before adjusting speeds.
•
Place drill bit in jaws of drill chuck.
•
Tighten chuck with drill chuck key. Be sure to tighten the chuck
using all three key positions on the chuck body and remove
chuck key.
