OPERATION
1. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
(See Fig. O)
To turn the machine on, move the Switch up to the “ON”
position. To turn it off, move the Switch down to the
“OFF” position.
To “Lock-off” the machine:
When the machine is not in use and to prevent
unauthorized use, the Switch should be locked in the
“OFF” position. To do this, pull the locking key out of the
ON/OFF Switch and store the key in a secure place. With
the key removed, the Switch will not operate.
2. INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS (See Fig. P)
Unplug the drill press.
Open or close the Chuck jaws to a point where the
opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to
use.
Insert drill bit into the Chuck the full length of the jaws.
Tighten Chuck jaws securely using Chuck Key provided.
Tighten all three Chuck jaws evenly and sufficiently to
hold the bit securely. Do not use a wrench to tighten or
loosen Chuck jaws.
Remove Chuck Key.
To remove the drill bit, reverse the steps listed above.
3. DRILLING (See Fig. Q)
Select the proper drill bit based on the desired hole size.
For large holes, drill a pilot hole first, using a smaller
diameter bit.
Unlock the depth scale lock knob. Using the Feed
Handles, set the spindle at the desired depth and
retighten the lock knob securely.
Turn the Table Crank Handle, and set the Table to desired
height.
NOTE:
Make sure the Table is free of all loose objects and
the bit is not in contact with the workpiece.
Plug the electrical cord into power supply and turn the
switch ON. Make sure spindle rotates freely.
Slowly lower drill bit into workpiece. Do not force the bit;
let the drill press do the work.
4. DRILLING TIPS
If a large hole is needed, it’s a good idea to drill a smaller
pilot hole before drilling the final one. Your hole will be
more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last
longer.
If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally
to clear the chips.
When drilling metal, lubricate the bit with oil to improve
drilling action and increase bit life.
As you increase the bit size, you may need to reduce the
spindle speed.
If drilling a through hole, make sure that the bit will not
drill into the table after moving through the workpiece.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep
the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
dust. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this
is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
