Factors entailing better results with drill presses are the type of material, hole’s size, type of bit or miller
and cutting quality desired. The smaller the bit is, the faster the necessary speed must be. Speed must
be higher when processing soft materials than hard metals. Use the recommended speed for the bit you
are using and for the material to be cut
The chuck of this drill press can turn at 12 different speed levels: from 230 to 2470 RPM. You can obtain
the lowest speed by placing the belt on the smaller step of motor’s pulley and on the biggest of spindle’s
pulley.
The switch is located on the front side of drill press’ head. To start the machine, push the green button “I”
of the switch (ON); to stop it, push the red button “O” of the switch (OFF).
The switch of this tool is an undervoltage switch that prevents the drill press from starting automatically
in case of restart of the electric current after an interruption; then when an interruption of the electric
current occurs the drill press stops and to make it restart you have to push the green button again.
1.
All ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lbrication.
Periodically lubricate the grooves in the spindle and the rack (head of the quill).
2.
Insert the bit into the chuck far enogh to obtain maximum grip of chuck jaws. Make sure that the
drill press is centered in the chuck. Tighten the bit sufficiently, so that it doesn’t slip while drilling.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen the drill bit.
3.
Drilling depth may be controlled by using the pointer and the depth scale or by the two stop nuts on
the feed stop rod.
4.
to position the table, loosen support lock handle, move the table to the desired position and
retighten support lock. To tilt the table, loosen the bevel lock, tilt the table to the desidered position
on the bevel scale and retighten bevel lock.
5.
After drilling a hole, release the feed handle to have the spindle sleeve return to its original
position.
CAUTION
: Switch off the machine and disconnect it from the power supply by removing the plug from
the socket before any adjustment, repair, maintenance task or when changing the blade.
In case you find out any damage to the protection devices or irregularities while processing or checking
the machine, you must get it repaired immediately by qualified persons.
Before use check that the protection and safety devices are perfectly efficient. After carrying out the
work, make a general cleaning of the machine by removing dust and chips.
Keep the chuck protection perfectly working.
Be sure that the axle of the spindle and the column are sliding by cleaning and oiling them periodically.
Clean the ventilation inlets of the engine.
Periodically check that the supply cable is not damaged.
Periodically check the tensioning of the belt.
