NOTE:
Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. Feeding too rapidly might stop
the motor, cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with scrap
material to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any drilling operation.
OPERATION
DRILLING SPEEDS
There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed:
● Material type
● Hole size
● Drill bit or cutter type
● Quality desired
Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed
than harder materials. See Fig. 15 on p. 16 or look at the speed chart on your drill press that can be
found on the inner side of the belt cover.
DRILLING WOOD
● Brad point bits are preferred. Metal-piercing twist bits may be used on wood.
● Do not use auger bits. Auger bits turn so rapidly that they can lift the workpiece off of the table and
whirl it around.
● Always protect the drill bit by positioning the table so that the drill bit will enter the center hole when
drilling through the workpiece.
● To prevent splintering, feed the drill bit slowly right as the bit is about to cut through to the back- side
of the workpiece.
● To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block
under the workpiece.
FEEDING THE DRILL BIT
● Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit tocut.
● Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the
drill bit.
● Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before
cleaning, adjusting, or performing any maintenance or lubrication work.
