4.  If it is in tapping mode, shift the gearbox to 
drilling mode by swinging the gear selector  
tab out of the detent slot then shifting 
upwards into drilling mode. Then pop the 
selector tab back into the detent. It will usually  
be necessary to grab the arbor and push the 
spindle upwards while turning a little by hand 
to get the selector to shift all the way up. 
Only grab the Arbor when turning the spindle, 
never the Quick-Release Collar. Otherwise, it 
will be easy to accidentally release the arbor 
and it will fall out. Follow the Twist drill & 
annular cutter” symbol on the gear case. (The  
small arrow on the tab will be pointing 
downwards when it is shifted correctly). 
5.  Proceed to drill as described below titled:

twist drills only)".

facing downwards into the shaft of the  
Annular Cutter Arbor.
3. Mount the Annular Cutter Arbor into the 
machine by pressing up on the Quick Release 
Collar and turning the arbor until the collar 
snaps closed. Once it is closed, tighten the 
Knurled Lock Ring by turning clockwise by 
hand. 
4.  Insert the proper sized pilot pin in the annular 
cutter. Using the L-hex key, loosen the 2 set 
screws to allow the mounting of the annular 
cutter. Ensure that the flat of the cutter shank 
is facing the set screw and then tighten.
