EXTENSION CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
•
The motor should be wired for 120 volts and clockwise rotation
as viewed from shaft end of motor.
•
A label on the motor describes the possible wiring configura-
tions. There are many different possible combinations, so only
the diagram provided with the motor should be used.
•
The power supply to motor is controlled by a push button
switch. Power lines are connected to the quick connect termi-
nals of the switch.
•
The green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
motor ground terminal to provide proper grounding.
OPERATION
Refer to Figures 4-9.
WARNING:
Read and understand operating instructions and
parts manual before operating this machine.
CAUTION:
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing power tool
operation.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE DRILL PRESS
Refer to Figures 4 and 9.
WARNING:
Be sure drill bit is not in contact with workpiece when
motor is started. Start motor and allow bit to come up to full speed
before drilling.
•
The ON/OFF switch (Ref. No. 36) is located on the front of the
head casting.
•
To turn saw ON, pull the switch to the up position.
•
To turn saw OFF, push the switch to the down position.
The saw can be locked from unauthorized use by locking the
switch. To lock the switch:
•
Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect saw from
power source.
•
Pull the key out. The switch cannot be turned on with the key
removed.
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.
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Figures 5 and 9.
WARNING:
Be sure drill press is turned off and is disconnected
from power source before adjusting speeds.
•
To change spindle speed, loosen motor lock knob (Ref. No. 22),
on the right side of the head and push the motor toward front
of drill press. This will loosen the belt and permit relocating the
belt to the desired pulley groove for the required spindle speed
(See Figure 5, page 6).
•
After belt has been repositioned, push motor toward rear of
drill press and tighten motor lock knobs.
•
Check belt for proper tension and make any final adjustment. A
belt is properly tensioned when light pressure applied to mid-
point of the belt produces about 1/2” deflection.
TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to Figure 7.
•
Height adjustments: To adjust table, loosen locking handle (Ref.
No. 16) and turn crank handle (Ref. No. 19) to desired height.
Immediately retighten table bracket locking handle.
•
Tilting work table: Loosen table bolt (Ref. No. 10). Remove pin
and nut (Ref. No. 9). To do this, tighten nut until pin slips out
easily. Tilt table to desired angle up to 45° and retighten table
bolt. Reinsert pin and nut when returning the table to 0° posi-
tion.
•
To obtain more distance between chuck and table, the work
table can be rotated 180° and base can be used as a work sur-
face. This permits drilling of larger objects.
•
Clamp table securely after adjustments have been made.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 8.
To control drilling depth, loosen locking knob (Ref. No. 16) on pin-
ion assembly (Ref. No. 17). Rotate scale so desired depth is indicat-
ed on scale next to the pointer. Tighten locking knob. Use this fea-
ture to drill more than one hole to the same depth.
To control drilling depth, use scale (Ref. No. 14) to adjust to desired
depth.
MOUNT DRILL BIT
Refer to Figure 8.
WARNING:
Be sure drill press is turned off and is disconnected
from power source before mounting drill bit.
•
Place drill bit in jaws of chuck.
•
Tighten chuck with chuck key. Be sure to tighten chuck using
all three positions on chuck body and remove key.
