SAFETY CLUTCH

The 4 speed variable motor speed models are equipped with a safety clutch which is designed to slip when the

maximum torque value is exceeded. This clutch is not a tapping clutch and bottoming taps in blind hole is to

be avoided.

TWIST DRILLS

NOTE: A pilot hole may be necessary when drilling with larger twist

drills.

CHUCK

Mount the chuck to the Drill Chuck Arbor. Open the

jaws all the way and tighten the central screw to

lock the chuck to the arbor.

TAPPING

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the tap, always very carefully line the tap up with the hole and ensure

that the size of the hole is correct for the tap to be used.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the tap or machine, be very careful to stop the machine in time to NOT

allow the tap bottom out. The motor continues to coast for a while after being shut off, so plan for this

and anticipate. This machine does NOT have a tapping clutch.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the machine, ALWAYS allow the

machine to come to a full stop before reversing rotation.

1. Select the minimum speed (speed range no.1).

2. Begin with forward direction of rotation with standard right hand

threads. (Opposite with left-hand threads)

3. Allow the tap to determine the feed rate. A light touch on the feed

handle is all that is needed once it is started in the hole.

4. When the desired thread is tapped, hit the red motor stop switch.
