To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being torn
from your hands while drilling, you MUST position the
workpiece against the LEFT side of the column. If the
workpiece or backup material is not long enough to reach the
column, clamp them to the table. Failure to secure the
workpiece could result in personal injury.
DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH (Fig. P)
1. Mark the depth (1) of the hole on the side of the
workpiece.
2. With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit down until the tip is
even with the mark.
3. Hold the feed handle (2) at this position.
4. Turn the depth scale ring (3) clockwise, until it is against
the depth stop.
5. Lock scale ring in place with depth knob (4).
6. The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected
on the depth scale.
LOCKING THE CHUCK AT THE DESIRED DEPTH (Fig. Q)
1. With the switch OFF, turn the feed handles until the
chuck (1) is at the desired depth. Hold the feed handles
at this position.
2. Turn the depth scale ring (3), clockwise, until it is against
the depth stop.
3. Lock scale ring in place with depth knob (2).
4. The chuck will now be held at this position when the feed
handles are released.
REMOVING CHUCK AND ARBOR (Fig. R)
1. With the switch OFF and the unit unplugged, adjust the
depth stop screw (10 to hold the drill at a depth of three
inches. (See instructions for “LOCKING CHUCK AT
DESIRED DEPTH“).
2. Insert a wedge (2) between chuck and quill.
3. Tap wedge (2) lightly with a plastic tipped hammer, until
the chuck falls away from the spindle.
NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it
falls out.
BASIC OPERATION ISTRUCTIONS
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 observe the SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS listed here and on pages 3, 4 & 5 of the
instruction manual.
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 fingers 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 avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow
instructions exactly when adjusting the spring tension of
the quill.
4. 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 a small workpiece.
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 it
solidly to the table, using the table slots.
c. When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to the
table.
