Lift out base plate and remove protective paper and 

place on workbench.

Inside the small box you will find the chuck, three 

handles, three set bolts, three washers, allen key and 

chuck key. Place on workbench.

Lift worktable out and remove protective paper. Put on 

workbench. Remove headstock and motor assembly 

and put on workbench. Remove column and plastic 

guard. Put plastic guard away for time being.

2. ASSEMBLY

Take base plate and select a suitable place on 

workbench for mounting (See Fig. B). Be aware of 

table legs and anything, which might reduce access to 

underneath:

Locate the four mounting holes (with 12mm diameter). 

Select suitable length bolts (at least 45mm length), 

washers and nuts (not supplied). Using base as a 

template drill four holes through the workbench. Bolt 

the base plate to the bench. Do not overtighten as this 

could crack the cast base.

Take  the protective paper or plastic bag off the column. 

Align with the three threaded holes on the base plate. 

(See Fig. C) Secure with the three bolt sets supplied. 

Again do not use excessive torque.

Slide the adjustable height work table over the column.

Secure midway with the clamping lever. (See Fig. D)

CAUTION: The head stock and motor assembly 

is heavy and may require two person 

handling.

Use the allen key to loosen the two screws.

Lower the headstock and motor assembly all the way 

onto the column.

Position the headstock and motor assembly so the 

front aligns with the centre of the base plate.

Use the allen key to tighten the two screws. Retain the 

allen key for further adjustments. (See Fig. E)

CAUTION: Do not connect to power supply yet.

Loosen the securing screw (a) of the safety 

guard, insert the guard into the spindle and tighten the 

screw (See Fig. F). Open the safety guard, and insert 

the chuck into the spindle.  The chuck is mounted 

firmly when you can not pull it out with your hand (See 

Fig. G).

Attach the three handles into the feed shaft. (See Fig.  H) 

Raise the table and place a piece of scrap wood on it.

Locate the depth stop into the hole and hold it using 

one hand, then rotate clockwise to lock it using another 

hand. Keep the red depth mark with the 0mm level. (See 

Fig. I1, I2).

Rotate the handles to keep the red depth mark with any 

depth you want, then rotate the lower screw (a) onto the 

hole to fix the depth. (See Fig. I3, I4)

NOTE:

 It has a tapered shaft and the chuck locates onto 

this. Bring the chuck into contact with the wood on the 

work table and gently apply pressure to lock the chuck 

onto the spindle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. OPERATING THE PILLAR DRILL

NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before 

carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

1) SELECTING THE CORRECT SPEED FOR DIFFERENT WORK

Refer to speed selection label inside of motor housing 

and select the speed required for the job in hand. The 

tool has five speed settings: 500-2500/min. Choose 

the setting nearest to the speed selection label 

recommendation.

2) WORK TABLE ADJUSTMENT

The table can rotate Bevel ± 45 degrees. Loosen the 

table securing bolt and rotate to desired angle. Re-

tighten lock nut. (See Fig. J)

Loosen the locking lever to the rear of the table. (See 

Fig. K)

Move the column up or down to desired height. When 

desired height is reached lock into position.

3) DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT

Bring the drill bit in contact with the work piece to be 

drilled. Take a measurement from the scale on front of 

tool (See Fig. L). Move work piece and add the amount 

on to the previous measurement. Move lock nuts down 

to that required position and lock. This will give a 

consistent depth when drilling.

4) STARTING AND STOPPING THE PILLAR DRILL

The tool is fitted with a no volt switch assembly (See 

Fig. M). This means in the event of a power failure 

when drilling, the motor will not start once the power is 

restored until the switch is reactivated.

NOTE: 

The cover is fitted with a safety interlock switch 

(See Fig. N). If the cover is not correctly located and
