Unpacking Your Drill Press
• Ensure that all parts of your drill press are present and in good condition.
If any part is missing, or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Assembling Your Drill Press
Note
: This product will have traces of oil and grease on its component
parts to protect against corrosion. Clean off such residue before assembly
especially the chuck mounting.
1. Secure the Column (1) to the Base (14) using the bolts (x3), washers
(x3) and spring washers (x3) included. The spring washer fits between
the bolt head and the washer
2. Slide the Table (13) on to the column and tighten the Rise and Fall
Locking Handle (12) when approximately 150mm from the base
3. The chuck fits using a simple taper connection and relies on the
friction of the surfaces to hold the chuck in position. Fit the chuck
to the chuck mounting by placing a small piece of wood over the
chuck and hitting with a small soft mallet. You can fit the chuck before
mounting the drill press head assembly on the column or after
Note
: It is essential both surfaces are free of oil and grease for the chuck
to be secure.
Note
: Make sure the chuck jaws are recessed before striking the chuck
with a mallet.
4. Place the drill press head assembly on to the column and lower it as
far as it will go
Note
: Seek assistance when handling the drill press head assembly as it
is heavy.
5. When the head is aligned to the base, tighten the 2 hex screws which
hold the drill press head assembly in place with the supplied Allen key.
These hex screws are directly below The Drive Belt Tension Adjuster
(10) on the same side
6. Screw the three parts of the Down Feed Handle (11) into the pinion
shaft
7. Angle the Chuck Guard(6) so you can remove the screws (x3), washers
(x3) and nuts (x3) that are pre-fitted to the chuck guard that secure
the chuck guard visor. Fit the visor and then loosely re-assemble the
screws, washers and nuts in each hole. Once all 3 screws are fitted
through the correct holes tighten
8. It is important to secure the drill press to a work surface to prevent the
tool tipping over. Fit bolts and nuts (not provided) through the Base
Holes (15) and matching holes through a work surface to secure the
drill press
Note
: If you don’t secure the drill permanently it is recommended to use
clamps to secure the tool to a work surface or work only with material too
small to cause the drill to tip over.
Using Your Drill Press
Down feed handle
• The Down Feed Handle (11) should always be used to feed the drill bit
into the material
• Pull down on the handle to make the chuck move downwards towards
the table.
Operating the chuck
• The Chuck (7) can be opened or closed by using the provided chuck key.
It is capable of securing drill bits with shanks from 1.5-13mm.
Note
: Ensure that the chuck is fully tightened before attempting to drill
as it could cause severe and permanent damage to the chuck and may
invalidate the guarantee.
WARNING
: Never fit any attachment with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of the machine.
On / off switch
• To start the drill, press the 'I' Button (3)
