Running the Drill Press
Step 1)
Insert the drill into the jaws of the Chuck approximately 1", ensuring that the jaws do not
touch the flutes of the drill. Before tightening the Chuck, ensure that the drill is centered
within the jaws.
Step 2)
Make certain that the Table height and position is set so that the drill travel range is sufficient
for the material to be drilled.
Step 3)
Make certain that the work piece is securely clamped. It should be held in a drill vise or
bolted to the Table. Never hold the material with your bare hands while drilling as this may
result in severe personal injury.
Step 4)
If the material is irregularly shaped and can not be laid flat on the table, it should be securely
blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting will result not only in a roughly drilled
hole but also increases the chances of damage to the drill.
Step 5)
FOR FLAT WORK, lay the workpiece onto a wooden base and clamp it down firmly
against the table to prevent it from turning.
Step 6)
FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press
vise. Made sure that the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.
Step 7)
WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH WOOD, always position a piece of
scrap wood between the material and the table to prevent splintering on the
underside of the material as the drill breaks through. The scrap piece of wood
must make contact with the left side of the column. Also, set the depth of the drill so that the
drill will not come in contact with the table - or align the table so that the hole in its center is in
line with the drill bit.
Step 8)
Once the instructions above have been followed, make certain guards are in
place and turn the machine ON. The ON-OFF Lock Switch (part #1B) is turned ON and
OFF as follows: The switch has a “snap-in” piece which is to be removed to lock the power
switch. Make certain that this piece, when removed, is stored in a safe place. Insert the
“snap-in” piece into the switch. To turn the machine ON, put your finger under the switch lever
and push up. To turn the machine OFF, pull the lever down.
