Structural Requirements
Ensure all supporting structures and load attaching devices are
strong enough to hold the intended loads. If in doubt, consult a
qualified structural engineer.
Electrical Requirements
The power supply to the 8” Bench Model Drill Press needs to be
120 volts, single phase, 60 Hz. The standard allowable voltage
variation is plus or minus 10%.
Tools Needed:
Standard mechanic’s hand tool set (i.e. hammer, screwdrivers,
adjustable wrenches, etc.).
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure all parts listed below are
included. If any parts are missing or broken, please contact your
local retailer.
IMPORTANT:
Many unpainted steel surfaces, such as the column
and table top, have been coated with a protectant. To ensure
proper fit and operation, remove coating. Coating can be easily
removed with mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft
cloth. Avoid getting solution on paint or any of the rubber/ plastic
parts. Solvents may deteriorate these finishes. Use soap and water
on paint, plastic or rubber components. After cleaning, cover all
exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil. Paste wax is
recommended for table top.
Never use highly volatile solvents.
Nonflammable solvents are recommended
to avoid possible fire hazard.
