GUARANTEE This product is guaranteed against faults in manufacture for 12 months from date of purchase.
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 applications and 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 xBag of loose parts E. F. G. H. Head Assy. Base 1xBox of loose parts Chuck Guard Assy. Loose Items in Box and Bag Check the parts against the above list and refer to the above 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. Before use, the machine must be securely bolted to a floor of sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the drill press plus anticipated work.
ASSEMBLY CAUTION! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE THIS MACHINE SINGLE HANDED..ASSISTANCE MUST BE USED A. Column Assembly to Base (Ref Parts List/Diagram page 18) NOTE: Ideally, the base should be firmly bolted to the floor prior to assembly of other components. The mounting surface must flat, level, and capable of supporting the weight of the drill plus anticipated work.
C. Head to Column Fig. 4 NOTE: It may be necessary to unscrew the Head Lock Set Screws (A, fig.4) slightly, to ensure they do not protrude internally as this would prevent the head from sliding fully into position. 1. With assistance, raise the head and locate it on top of the Column. 2. Align the head with the base, and firmly secure with the set screws provided, (AFig.4). 3.
4. Turn the Belt Tension Lever (B - fig.6), anticlockwise so that tension is applied to the belts. Tension is correct when the belts deflect by approx. ½” at their centres of run when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the motor in this position with the Lock Knobs. NOTE: The idler pulley will ‘float’ so that tension is applied equally to both belts CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE MICROSWITCH IMPORTANT: When closing the pulley cover, check the operation of the Microswitch.
Fig. 11 Spin the nut C - fig. 10, so that it is towards the end of the thread on the peg. Lighly oil the smooth tapered end of the peg before inserting it into the hole in the mounting, and into the corresponding hole in the table support. It may be necessary to turn the table slightly in order to line up the holes. Tap the peg home gently, using a soft headed mallet or copper hammer. Finally screw the nut in, but only until it comes into contact with the housing. 2. Spindle Depth.
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 TTo 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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBABLE CAUSE PROBLEM 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.

DRILL SPEED TABLE The table below gives the belt arrangements for given drill speeds. The diagram shows the belts fitted to A3 and B1, giving a drill speed of 250RPM. A full chart is also located on the inside of the pulley cover.
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.
