The Model M1039 is designed for drilling holes in wood
or metal. The basic operation of a drill press is lining up
your drill bit with the intended hole location, turning the
drill press
ON
, and using the down feed levers to move
the spinning drill bit into the workpiece.

when.drilling:
CLEARING.CHIPS:
Raise the drill bit often to clear chips
and cool the drill bit. This will ease the work of the drill
press motor and extend the life of your drill bits.
SECURING.WORKPIECE.TO.TABLE:
Secure the workpiece
to the table or in a vise that is secured to the table
before drilling.
PROTECTING.TABLE:
Protect the table by placing the
workpiece on scrap wood, or center the location of the
hole to be drilled over the pocket in the table when
through drilling. Also, make use of the depth stop so that
the drill bit goes no deeper than necessary.
USING.CORRECT.SPEEDS:
Use the correct speed for
the diameter of the drill bit being used and the type of
material being drilled. Refer to the
Drill.Bit.Speed.Charts
on
Page.22
&
Page.23.
to help you choose the correct
speed for your application.
Drilling
The Model M1039 has a depth stop that allows you to drill
repeated non-through holes of same depth every time.
The depth stop consists of a stud attached to the quill,
with two hex nuts that can be lowered or raised on the
stud so the lower nut (depth nut) hits a stop bracket
when the drill bit is lowered. The upper hex nut (upper
jam nut) is then used to secure the depth nut in place
so it doesn't move with repeated operations.
Figure.27
shows the various depth stop components.
To.set.the.depth.stop,.do.these.steps:
1.
Lower the drill bit to the required height.
2.
Thread the depth nut against the stop bracket.
