ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown , grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

1. Do not modify the plug provided.

If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

3. Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.

4. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

CAUTION!

In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

Fig. 1

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

2. Do not abuse extension cord.

Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.

3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool.

This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

4. While firmly holding the spring housing (Fig. 20 - 4), carefully pull the spring housing out until it clears the raised notch (Fig. 20 - 2).

5. Turn the housing so that the next notch is engaged with the raised notch (Fig. 20 - 2).

• To increase the spindle return tension, turn the spring housing counter-clockwise.

• To decrease the tension, turn the spring housing clockwise.

6. Tighten the two housing nuts. Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the spindle and feed handles will become sluggish.

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

REPLACE THE BELT

WARNING!

Disconnect the drill press from the power source before replacing the belt.

1. Open the housing cover. Loosen the belt tension locking knob

(Fig. 21 - 1).

2. Remove the belt from the housing cover if it is broken. If it is not broken, but is too stretched to operate correctly, work the belt off the drive (motor) pulley. Then remove the belt from the front spindle.

3. Replace with a new belt. Install the belt over the pulleys at the desired speed. Pull the motor back to make the belt taut. Once the desired tension has been achieved, tighten the belt tension locking knob.

OPERATION

ON / OFF SWITCH WITH SAFETY KEY

1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the yellow safety key (Fig. 22 - 1) into the switch housing (Fig. 22 - 2). As a safety feature, the switch cannot be turned ON without the safety key.

2. Flip the switch upward to the ON position.

3. To turn the drill press OFF, flip the switch downward.

4. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the safety key (Fig.

22 - 1) from the switch. Store the safety key in a safe place.

WARNING!

Remove the safety key whenever the drill is not in use. Place the key in a safe place and out of the reach of children.

LASER ON/OFF SWITCH

The laser switch is located on the lefthand side of the drill press (Fig.

10, p. 14). Replace batteries as needed by popping open the housing.

POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE

Always place a piece of scrap material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the material from spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column as illustrated (Fig. 23), or be clamped (not included) to the table.

NOTE: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury. Drill press clamps and drill press vises can be purchased at wenproducts.com.

DRILLING SPEEDS

There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed:

• Material type

• Hole size

• Drill bit or cutter type

• Quality desired

Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than harder materials.

OPERATION

GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE

WARNING!

To prevent the workpiece and the backup material from slipping from your hand while drilling, position the workpiece and backup material to the left side of the column. If the workpiece and the backup material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp the workpiece and backup material to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

1. Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by using a center punch or a sharp nail, or turn ON the laser to mark your drilling point.

2. Before turning the drill press ON, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.

3. Turn ON the drill press and pull down on the feed handles with the appropriate force needed to allow the drill bit to drill through the material.

NOTE: Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with scrap material to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any drilling operation.

DRILLING WOOD

• Brad point bits are preferred. Metal-piercing twist bits may be used on wood.

• Do not use auger bits. Auger bits turn so rapidly that they can lift the workpiece off of the table and whirl it around.

• Always protect the drill bit by positioning the table so that the drill bit will enter the center hole when drilling through the workpiece.

• To prevent splintering, feed the drill bit slowly right as the bit is about to cut through to the backside of the workpiece.

• To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block under the workpiece.

FEEDING THE DRILL BIT

• Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.

• Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the drill bit.

• Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!

To avoid accidents, turn OFF and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning, adjusting, or performing any maintenance or lubrication work.

WARNING!

Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the tool must be performed by a qualified technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.

CAUTION!

Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning products that could damage the plastic parts. Some of these include but are not limited to: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, and household detergents that contain ammonia.

CLEANING & STORAGE

1. After every operation, use a vacuum to remove sawdust or metal shavings from the tool surfaces, motor housing and work area. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris to prevent the motor from overheating.

2. Wipe the tool surfaces clean with a soft cloth or brush. Make sure water does not get into the tool.

3. Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust free.

4. Store the tool in a clean and dry place away from the reach of children.

LUBRICATION

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed, and require no lubrication. Pull the spindle down and oil the quill moderately every three months.

Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.
