Westward Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 1KEN3, 1KEN4
10”,12” Drill Presses
Depth scale method (Figure 26)
NOTE:
With the chuck in the upper position, the tip of the drill
bit must be just slightly above the top of the workpiece.
1. With the switch “OFF”, turn the feed handle until the
pointer (7) points to the desired depth on the depth scale
(4) and hold the feed handle in that position.
2. Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop lug
(6).
3. Spin the upper nut (5) against against the lower stop nut
and tighten.
4. The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected
on the depth scale.
Drill a hole
Using a center punch or a sharp nail, make an indentation in
the workpiece where you want to drill.
Turn on the laser assembly and align the laser lines (x) with
the indentation. Turn the power switch on and pull down on the
feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.
FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY might cause the belt or drill
to slip, tear the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit.
When drilling metal, it will be necessary to lubricate the
tip of the drill bit with metal drilling oil to prevent it from
overheating.
Figure 26
To avoid injury from an accidental
start, ALWAYS make sure the power switch is in the
“OFF” position, the switch key is removed, and the plug is
not connected to the power source outlet before removing
or installing the chuck.
Basic operating instructions
To get the best results and minimize the likelihood of personal
injury, follow these instructions for operating your drill press.
For your own safety, always read
the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed within this operator’s
manual.
For your protection
To avoid being pulled into the power
tool, do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry. Always tie back long hair.
1. If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunctioning,
damaged or broken, stop operation immediately until that
part is properly repaired or replaced.
2. Never place your fi ngers in a position where they could
contact the drill bit or other cutting tool. The workpiece may
unexpectedly shift, or your hand could slip.
3. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands,
thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered, always properly
support your workpiece as follows:
a. Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (used
beneath workpiece ) so that it contacts the left side of
the column, or use the fence provided and a clamp to
brace the workpieces.
b. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column. If it is too short or the table is
tilted, use the fence provided or clamp solidly to the
table, using the table slots.
c. When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to the
table.
d. Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the
workpiece rather than supporting it on the table), except
when polishing.
e. Securely lock the head and support to the column, the
table arm to the support, and the table to the table arm,
before operating the drill press.
f. Never move the head or the table while the tool is
running.
g. Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the drill or other cutting tool does not wobble
or cause vibration.
h. If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or tip if
not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary
support.
