4. The drill press must comply with all local
and national codes after the 230 volt plug is
installed.
5. The drill press with a 230-volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as shown in Figure 13.
No adapter is available or should be used
with the 230-volt plug.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on
the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 14 shows the correct size
cord to use based on cord length and motor
plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Table Movement
To raise or lower the table:
Loosen the column locking handle (see Figure
4). Turn large handle to raise or lower the table
along the column rack. Re-tighten the column
locking handle before attempting to drill.
To swing table around the column:
When drilling into a long workpiece, swing the
table out of the way and use the drill press base
as your table. Slots in the base can be used to
mount work holding devices.
1. Loosen the column locking handle (see
Figure 4).
2. Swing table to desired position. If the rack
tends to bind, you will need to nudge the top
or bottom end of the rack around the column
while swinging the table.
3. Tighten the column locking handle.
To tilt table:
1. To tilt the table, loosen the bolt (A, Figure
15) slightly and pull out on the indicator pin
(B, Figure 16). The indicator pin will engage
at 0, 45 and 90 degree positions of the
table.
2. Pivot the table to desired angle by aligning
the scale (in degrees) on the table to the
line on the table bracket (Figure 16).
3. Re-tighten bolt (A, Figure 15).
