5.4.

Belt tension

5.4.1.

With the belt tension lock screw (fig.7.Z) loose and using hand pressure on the motor, set tension so that belt give is no more than

1/2" (13mm). Tighten lock screw.

5.5.

Positioning the workpiece

5.5.1.

Use a piece of wood to rest the workpiece on. The drill bit may break through the workpiece and damage the table otherwise. The

wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column. When the drill bit breaks through the 

workpiece, it will contact the wood and cause it to spin. Resting the wood against the column will help prevent this.

5.5.2.

For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.

5.6.

Setting the drill depth 

5.6.1.

Use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle. 

5.6.2.

Loosen locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth desired by aligning against the arrow on head. Tighten locking screw.

5.6.3.

Check the depth to ensure it is correct. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill will stop at the set depth.

WARNING! Ensure the drill is unplugged from the mains power supply.

6.1.

Clean the drill after each use. A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table and column will help to keep the surfaces clean. 

6.2.

Blow out any dust that may have accumulated in the motor. 

6.3.

Periodically lubricate the table elevation rack/gear/worm mechanism.
