Drilling Panels Longer than 42” in length
If you are drilling a 96” x 12” panel for full height shelving units, use the same
procedures as you did for the 42” x 12” panel in the previous application.
Drill the first row of holes using the Right Stop. Whenever the Toggle Switch is
flipped, the first cycle will drill, then the second cycle will index.
Since the first row of holes is started from the Right Stop, you will need to flip the
Toggle Switch located in the middle of the Yellow Clamp Frame to the right to
activate the Right Side Index Pin.
Hold your left hand in the approximate position where the last hole at the left end
of the panel was just drilled.
Use your right hand to lift the Right Stop up and out of the way of the panel and
slide the panel to the right under the Yellow Clamp Frame until your left hand is
lined up with the right side of the Clamp Frame at approximately the first drill bit
location.
Step on the foot pedal and both Index Pins will try and come up to seat in a hole.
With the Toggle Switch in the right position only the right Index Pin will inform
the machine to operate.
If a hole is not in line with the pin, the machine will not cycle. This will be the
case until you move the panel slowly to the right or left slightly.
WHEN THE PIN LOCATES AN EXISTING HOLE, THE MACHINE WILL
CYCLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PIN SEATS.
After you have finished with the front side of the panel, flip the Toggle Switch to
the center and then back to the right or left side to change Auto Gauge.
For 12” panel or a center row of holes pull the Black Knob toward you, dropping
the Middle Fence into working position.
Push the panel to the Middle Fence and flip the Right Stop back down into the
working position.
Press the Foot Pedal and the machine will drill the second row of holes on the back
edge (or middle) of the panel.
After drilling has finished, pop the Right Stop up and out of the way of the panel.
Slide the panel to the right until the last drilled hole is approximately even with the
last Bit and step on the foot pedal again.
Slide the panel slowly to the right or left until the Index Pin seats into the last hole
and the machine cycles.
You must have your foot on the Foot Pedal through this
entire process.
Wait until the drilling is finished and then slide the panel to the right again until all
the holes you wish to drill are completed.
