GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result. 1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE. Read the manual carefully. Learn the machines applicationscand limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 2.
19. DO NOT STAND ON THE MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped over. Do not store materials above or near the machine such that it is necessary to stand on the machine to get to them. 20. NEVER operate a machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. 21. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
PREPARATION On receipt, carefully unpack the components, ensuring that no damage was suffered in transit, and that all parts are accounted for. The following loose items are to be found in the packing case. A. B. C. D. Table Assy. Column Assy. This manual 1 X Box of loose parts. E. F. G. H. Base. Head Assy. 1 X Bag of loose parts Chuck Guard Assy. Loose Items in Box and Bag Check the parts against the above list and refer to the following diagrams.
Remove all traces of preservative from the components with paraffin or a good quality solvent, and wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean dry cloth. Apply a coating of wax paste or light oil, to the table, column and base, to prevent rust. Take the necessary precautions when lifting components, considering their weight. Assistance will be required.
ASSEMBLY CAUTION! ASSISTANCE MUST BE USED WHEN ASSEMBLING THIS MACHINE. A. Column Assembly to Base Fig. 1 NOTE: Ideally, the base should be firmly bolted to the floor or workbench, prior to assembly of other components. The mounting surface must flat, level and capable of supporting the drills’ weight. 1. With the Base on a flat level surface, bolt on the Column using the 4, M10 Hex head screws provided and tighten them fully. 2.
E. Installing the Chuck. Fig. 4 1. Slide the table up the column and secure it to within 6" of the spindle. 2. Open the jaws of the chuck to their maximum using the chuck key supplied. 3. Put a piece of scrap wood on to the table to protect the chuck nose. 4.
SETTINGS and ADJUSTMENTS 1. Table. Fig. 7 The table may be raised, lowered or swivelled about the column, by slackening off the table support locking handle, (Fig.8), adjusting accordingly using the table crank, and re-tightening the locking handle .
2. Changing Drill (Spindle) Speed. Fig. 11 Before changing the speeds, ensure the machine is switched OFF, and disconnected from the mains supply. 1 Undo the Belt Tension Locking Screws (A Fig. 11), one either side of the head, and turn lever B - Fig.5 clockwise to relieve any tension on the belts. Referring to the chart inside the belt cover (which is duplicated below), install the belts in the positions corresponding to the spindle speed required. 2.
OPERATION. 1. Insert the drill bit into the jaws of the chuck by approx 1", ensuring that the jaws do not touch the flutes of the drill. Before tightening the chuck, ensure that the drill is centred within the jaws. 2. Ensure the table height and position is set so that drill travel is sufficient for the job in hand. 3. Ensure the work is securely clamped, or held in a drill vice, bolted to the table. Never hold it with bare hands.
REMOVING THE CHUCK To remove the chuck, pull the spindle down fully, using the feed handles. The slot in the side of the Quill will become visible, as shown in fig. 14. Note the position of the chuck, perhaps by placing a chalk mark, in line with the chuck, on the column, then raise the table so that it is only an inch or so below the position marked. Fig.
CUTTING SPEEDS Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operation are: 1. Kind of material being worked. 2. Size of hole. 3. Type of drill. 4. Quality of cut desired. Generally, the smaller the drill, 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 according to the table below.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY Noisy operation (under load) A) B) C) D) Incorrect belt tension Dry spindle Loose pulley Worn bearing A) Adjust tension B) Remove spindle/quill assembly and lubricate C) Tighten pulley D) Replace bearing Excessive drill wobble A) B) C) D) Loose chuck Worn spindle, or bearing Worn chuck Bent drill A) Tighten by pressing chuck down on to a block of wood against the table.
