ADJUST SPEEDS

 

Refer to Figure 13

Turn the switch to “OFF” position and disconnect the 
machine from power source. 

This drill press has  5 speeds: 620 RPM, 
1000RPM, 1720RPM,  2340RPM and 3100RPM. The 
speed is determined by the location of the belt on the 
pulleys. The speed chart shows the pulley configuration 
for each speed. 

INSTALL DRILL BIT

Refer to Figure 14

•  Insert the chuck key. Rotate counterclockwise to loosen 
   the chuck jaws so that the opening is slightly larger than 
   the bit size you intend to use.
•  Insert the smooth end of drill bit all the way into the 
   chuck. Slightly pull back the drill bit by 1/16”. If the spiral 
   groove (flute) of drill bit is still inside the chuck, pull 
   further until the spiral groove is free from chuck 
   jaws’ grip when tighten. 
•  Turn chuck key clockwise to tighten the chuck jaws. 
   Check to see the drill bit is centered and secure in the 
   chuck. 
•  Remember to remove chuck key before operating the 
   machine. 

ADJUST DEPTH STOP

Refer to Figure 15

The depth stop is attached to the quill with hex hut that 
can be lowered or raised on the stud. To set the depth 
stop:
•  Lower the drill bit to the desired height by using the 
   handles. 
•  Hold the feed handle at the desired position. 
•  Use wrench to spin the lower lock nut down to contact 
   the depth stop and lock the nut.
•  Spin the upper nut  against against the lower stop nut 
   and tighten. 
•  The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance on the 
   depth scale.
