OPERATION
Starting and Stopping the Drill
Be sure drill bit is not in contact with
workpiece when starting the motor. Start
the motor and allow bit to come up to full speed before
drilling.
1. The ON/OFF switch is located on the front of the head casting.
2. To turn drill ON, ensure the plastic key is inserted into the
switch and flip the switch to the up position.
3. To turn drill OFF, push the switch to the down position.
The drill can be locked from authorized use by locking the switch:
To lock turn the switch to the OFF position, disconnect the drill from
the power source, and remove the key from the switch.
NOTE: Should the key be removed from the switch at the ON
position, the switch can be turned off but cannot be turned on
again.
To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until it snaps in.
Speed Adjustments
Ensure drill press is turned off and is
disconnected from power source before
adjusting speeds.
1. To change the spindle speed, unlatch the plastic casing on the
head, and loosen the bolts attaching the motor to the head, if
needed.
2. Push the motor towards the rest of the head, and use the
locking knob on the same side as the drill quill handles, to lock
the motor in position. This will loosen the belt and permit
relocation to the desired pulley groove for desired spindle
speed.
3. After belt is repositioned, push motor back to original position
and tighten the motor lock knob.
4. Check belt for proper tension and make any final adjustments.
A belt is properly tensioned when light pressure applied to
midpoint of the belt produces about ½˝ deflection.
Table Adjustments
1. To adjust the height, loosen the handle on the back of the
sleeve, and slide along the column to desired height, and re-
tighten the handle.
2. To tilt the work table, loosen the table bolt/nut on the underside
of the table and tilt to desired angle up to 45° and retighten.
3. To obtain more distance between chuck and the table, the
work table can be rotated to the back of the column using the
steps from number 1 of this list. This permits drilling larger
objects
4. Clamp the table securely after all adjustments have been
made.
Depth Stop Adjustment
To decrease the drilling depth,
loosen the hex nuts on the opposite
side of the head from the 3 quill
feed handles. Using the depth
measure, set the bottom of the hex
nuts to the desired depth.
Mount Drill Bit
Ensure drill
press is turn -
ed off and is dis con nected from
power source before mounting
drill bit.
1. Place drill bit in jaws of chuck.
2. Using the chuck key, tighten using all 3 positions on chuck
body and remove key.
3. Use only the self-ejecting chuck key provided with this drill
press, or a duplicate. Use of any other key might allow start
with the key still in the chuck. An airborne key could strike the
operator and cause injury.
MAINTENANCE
Turn switch off and remove power plug
from wall outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your drill press.
Replace worn drive belt when needed.
Lubrication
The ball bearings are lubricated at the factory and need no further
lubrication. Using 20 wt. non-detergent oil, periodically lubricate the
splines (grooves) in the spindle and the rack (teeth on the quill) as
follows:
1. Lower quill assembly all the way down.
2. Apply lubricant around the inside of the hole in the spindle
pulley
3. Apply lubricant to rack (teeth) on quill, while fully extended.
4. Apply lubricant to rack and pinion gear on column and table
assembly.
5. Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the
motor. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately. For motor lubrication, follow
instructions on motor plate.
