Tool Set Up

TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM AccIDENTAL OpERATION:

Turn the power Switch of the tool off and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.

TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy:

DO NOT OpERATE WITH ANy GUARD DISABLED, DAMAGED, OR REMOVED.

Moving guards must move freely and close instantly.

Table Adjustment

The table rotates 360º and tilts 45º right and left.

The table is capable of being raised, lowered and swiveled about the column.

1. Raise or lower the Table by slackening off the Arm

Locking Handle and turning the crank clockwise to raise it and counterclockwise to lower it.

2. The Table can be swiveled about the Column by loosening the Arm Locking Handle. The Table assembly and Rack move as one around the Table.

3. You can tilt the Table by loosening the Bevel

Table Locking Screw (12B and 14B) and tilting the Table to the desired angle.

4. The Table is fitted with an Angle Scale to determine the degree of slant. For all normal operations the Table should be set at 0º. To ensure that the drill is entirely perpendicular to the table, insert a piece of straight round bar in the chuck, place a Square on the Table and bring it up to the round bar. Adjust the Table tilt if necessary so that the Table is correctly aligned.

Setting the Drilling Depth

Located near the Spindle Feed Shaft is a

Depth Stop Collar (A) which contains a graduated scale.

The collar is capable of turning around the Shaft, and may be locked in place by a Locking Screw (B).

Depth is measured in both inches and metric.

1. With power OFF, lower the Chuck until the drill contacts the surface of the workpiece. Hold it in that position.

2. Loosen the Locking Screw and turn the collar so that the measurement for the depth of the hole required is in line with the Pointer (C).

3. Lock the Collar in position using the Locking Screw.

changing Drill Speed

The Drill Press has twelve different speeds:

180 RPM, 310 RPM, 320 RPM, 500 RPM,

540 RPM, 570 RPM, 1180 RPM, 1565 RPM,

1805 RPM, 2190 RPM, 2795 RPM, and 3865 RPM

A full chart of belt arrangements for each drill speed is located on the inside of the Pulley Cover.

1. Undo the Belt Tension Lock Knobs on both sides of the head.

2. Turn the Belt Tension Handle (14A) clockwise to bring the Motor Pulley close to the Spindle Pulley which will allow the belts to be moved easily.

3. Lubricate the Idler Pivot Shaft (4) and the Pulley Idler with light grease, and install it in its mounting place between the motor and spindle pulleys.

4. To change the speed of the Drill, you will need to move the belt to the appropriate place on each pulley. Hold the Lifting knob (21) and lift up on the Pulley Cover (13). Manually move the belt into the appropriate grooves on the pulleys which correspond to the speed desired. Consult the chart inside the pulley cover and position the belts on the pulleys according to the drill speed required.

180 310

Note: Factors which determine the best speed to use in the drill press operation are: a. Type of material to be drilled b. Size of hole c. Type of drill bit d. Quality of the hole or cut desired.

Generally, the SMALLER THE DRILL BIT the

GREATER THE REQUIRED RPM. In soft material, the speed should be higher than for hard metals. As a guide, the drill speed for a given drill bit size is listed in the chart at the bottom.

5. Turn the Belt Tension Lever counterclockwise so that tension is applied to the belts. Tension is correct when the belts deflect by approximately

1/2” at their centers of run when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the motor in this position with the Locking Knob.

Note: If the belt is too long to be properly tensioned, it must be replaced.

Item 39955

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.

The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps

(not included) to prevent movement while working.

4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.

5. Make sure the table height and position is set so that the drill travel range is sufficient for the material to be drilled.

6. Make sure the work is securely clamped.

That is, held in a drill vise, or bolted to the table.

Never hold the material with your bare hands while drilling. Severe personal injury may be caused if the material is flung out of the operator’s hand.

7. IF THE MATERIAL IS IRREGULARLY SHAPED and cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also increases the chances of damage to the drill.

8. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a wooden base and clamp it down firmly against the table to prevent it from turning.

9. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise. Make sure the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.

10. WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH

WOOD, always position a piece of scrap wood between the material and the table to prevent splintering on the underside of the material as the drill breaks through. The scrap piece of wood must make contact with the left side of the column. Securely clamp the other end of the scrap wood to the table. Also, set the depth of the drill so that the drill will not come in contact with the table - or align the table so that the hole in its center is in line with the drill bit.

Figure c: Bracing workpiece against column

General Operating Instructions

1. Bring the drill bit down with the Feed Knob to where the hole is to be drilled.

Make minor workpiece alignment adjustments.

2. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.

3. Turn the Drill Press on.

4. Pull down on the Feed Knob and slowly drill the hole into the workpiece.

WARNING! If the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece, do not attempt to stop the spinning with your hands.

Step back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the spindle to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.

5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
