Generally speaking, the smaller in
relation the drill bit, the greater the
RPM required.
Wood requires higher speeds than
metal.
Metal is usually drilled at slower
speeds; cutting oil is applied if
necessary.
Warning:
Always keep your hands well clear of
the rotating bit.
Do not remove chips and workpiece
parts until the machine is at a
standstill.
Always close the chuck guard and
pulley cover before you start the
machine.
When using a drill press vice, always
fasten it to the table.
Never do any works
“freehand” (hand-
holding the work piece rather than
supporting it on the table), except
when polishing.
Support long workpieces with helping
roller stands.
Do not use wire wheels, router bits,
shaper cutters, circle cutters, or rotary
planers on this drill press.
Never cut magnesium-
high danger of fire!
7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may
only be carried out after the
machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the
mains plug.
7.1 Removing the Chuck and Arbor
Unplug the machine from the power
source.
Lower the quill using the down feed
handle.
Rotate the spindle to align the key in
the spindle with the key hole in the
quill.
Insert the drift key (A, Fig 9) into the
aligned slots and tap lightly. Have
another person (or a protected table)
catch the chuck and arbor assembly
as it falls away from the spindle.
Fig 9
7.2 Adjusting the Depth Stop
To drill multiple holes at the same
preset depth, use the depth stop:
With the drill bit in the chuck, lower the
down feed handle to advance the
chuck to the desired point.
Turn the depth scale collar (C, Fig. 10)
counter-clockwise until it stops moving.
Tighten the depth scale lock (D).
Fig 10
The drill bit will now advance only to
this point.
7.3 Changing Spindle Speeds
Loosen the locking screw on the pulley
cover, then open the cover.
A spindle speed and belt arrangement
chart is found on the inside of the belt
cover (Fig 11). Refer to this chart
whenever changing speeds.
Fig 11
To change spindle speeds:
Unplug the machine from the power
source.
Loosen two side bar bolts found on
each side of the head assembly. (A,
Fig 12).
Fig 12
Rotate the tension adjuster (B) to bring
the motor base as close to the head as
possible.
Change the belts location according
the speed chart and the speed you
desire.
Rotate the tension adjuster (B) to
tension the belts.
Tighten two slide bar bolts (A, Fig. 12).
Belts are properly tensioned when
finger and thumb pressure midway
between the two pulleys causes
approximately 10 mm deflection.
Close and lock the pulley cover.
7.4 Table Tilt Adjustment
Disconnect the machine from the
power source (unplug).
