4.5.1
When you are ready to drill, set the product to be drilled on the
table and make sure it is secure using the Paper Side Stops. Turn
the machine on and holding the product firmly in place with one
hand, pull down on the Handle raising the Table up to meet the
drill bit. Using one consistent smooth stroke, put pressure on
the Handle so that the Table rises fully allowing the drill bit to drill
through the product. It is important you maintain a consistent
speed through the entire stack. It is also important you do not go
too slow or too fast. If you drill too slow you can burn the paper
leaving undesired marks. If you drill too fast, the drill bits will act
more like a punch and they will break or plug.

Use a sharp drill bit at all times... Using a drill bit sharpener, sharpen your drill bits regularly. Apply light pressure
when sharpening. Too much pressure may cause flaring of the tip. (Once a drill bit has a flared tip, it becomes
defective.)
Sharpening Stone... Use to debur the outside cutting edge of the drill bits for better performance.
Lubricate drill bits occasionally... Use Drill-Ease or Spin-Eze. While the drill is running, simply touch the Drill-Ease
stick to the drill bit or brush on the Spin-Eze. Drill through scrap to remove any excess. This will allow for a smoother
cut.
Drill Strips...When drilling, a drill bit must stop slightly above the drill strip. Replace worn out drill strips regularly to
ensure proper drilling.
4.6 - Traversing the Table
4.6.1
To move the Table to the next desired hole on the pattern bar, press in on either of the Release Handles (EZ-1010)
located on both ends of the table. Pressing in the Release Handle releases the Release Pin allowing the table to tra-
verse. Release the Handle and slide the Table until it locks into place in the next desired position.
