POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE (Fig. Y and Z)
1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so the
tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood) on
the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of the
workpiece. To keep the back-up material from
spinning out of control, it MUST contact the LEFT side
of the column.
WARNING
To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being
torn from your hands while drilling, you MUST position it
against the LEFT side of the column. If the workpiece or
the backup material is not long enough to reach the
column, use the fence provided with the drill press to
brace the workpiece. Failure to do this could result in
personal injury.

3. For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
use a drill press vise (optional accessory).
WARNING
The drill press vise MUST be clamped or bolted to the
table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or
damaged vise or bit parts.
Remove the drill press fence when it interferes with other
drill press accessories.

TILTING THE TABLE (Fig. AA)
NOTE: The table arm and support (1) has a predrilled hole
with a locking set screw inserted for locking the table into
a predetermined 0° horizontal position.
1. TIGHTEN the nut (4) on the locking pin in the
clockwise direction to RELEASE the pin from the table
support.
2. LOOSEN the large hex head bevel locking bolt (3).
WARNING
To prevent injury, be sure to hold the table & table arm
assembly, so it will not swivel or tilt.

1. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement
to the zero line opposite the scale (4). Tighten the
bevel locking bolt.
2. To return the table to its original position, loosen the
bevel locking bolt (3). Realign the bevel scale (4) to the
0° position.
3. Loosen the nut (2) on the locking pin to the end of the
pin. Gently tap the locking pin until it is seated in the
mating hole on the table bracket. Tighten the bevel
locking nut against the bracket to hold position.
WARNING
To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage,
always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to
the table before operating the drill press with the table
tilted.
FEEDING
1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to
allow the drill bit to cut.
2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the
belt or drill to slip, or tear the workpiece loose and
break the drill bit.
3. When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate
the drill bit tip with motor oil, to prevent burning.
