If the belt is broken, remove it from the housing cover. If the belt is not broken, but is too stretched
to operate correctly, work the belt off the drive (motor) pulley (Fig. 19 - 3). Then remove the belt
from the front (spindle) pulley (Fig. 19 - 1).
4.
Replace the old belt with a new belt. Install the new belt over the pulleys at the desired speed.
Using the belt tension handle, move the motor back to make the belt taut. Once the desired tension
has been achieved, tighten the belt tension locking knob (Fig. 17 - 3).

TURNING THE POWER ON/OFF
1.To turn the drill press ON, insert the yellow safety key
(Fig. 20 - 1) into the switch housing (Fig. 20 - 2). As a safety
feature, the switch cannot be turned ON without the safety key.
2.Flip the switch upward to the ON position.
3.
To turn the drill press OFF, flip the switch downward.
4.
To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the safetykey
from the switch. Store the safety key in a safe place.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Always place a piece of scrap material (wood, plywood, etc.)
on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent splin-
tering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks
through. To keep the material from spinning out of control,
it must contact the left side of the column (Fig. 21), or be
clamped (not included) to the table.
NOTE:
For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be
clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury. .
GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE
WARNING:
To prevent the workpiece and the scrap material from slipping from your hand while
drilling, position the workpiece and scrap material to the left side of the column. If the workpiece and
the scrap material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp the workpiece and scrap material
to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.
1. Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by using a center punch or a sharpnail.
2. Before turning the drill press ON, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit
tip up with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the drill press and pull down on the feed handles with the appropriate force needed to al-
low the drill bit to drill through the material.
