moving parts. Breakage of parts or mountings and any other conditions that affect its operation. SAFETY 1. Keep guards in place and in working order. 2. Remove adjusting key and wrenches. Be in the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. 3. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 4. Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain.
Do not open any cover or remove any guard without proper lockout of equipment. Only a qualified electrician with proper PPE should perform electrical work on this equipment. Some components in this equipment may store electricity. BEFORE USE, ALL SAFETY POINTS MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD! Operation of the drill press incorrectly, or in a dangerous fashion can result in serious injury or death.
Familiarize yourself with the controls before operating. Emergency stop button When this is pressed the power to the motor and controls is disconnected. The frequency drive stores energy this will remain lit for about 20 seconds. Spindle direction Turn the spindle direction switch to the desired direction forward, reverse or stop. If the emergency stop button is pushed or if the power is lost you will have to move this to stop (TO RESET) then to desired spindle direction.
Tapping operations using the reverse feature 1. Drill the initial hole on the drill press for accuracy of diameter. If the diameter is 1/2 inch or larger, drill a pilot hole about half that diameter first. 2. Make sure the hole has a large enough chamfer. If the chamfer is too small the tap will work a little hard when starting the tapping operation. 3. Select the tap type. Choose from a taper tap (recommended), plug tap or bottoming tap.
1. OPERATION (PROCEDURE) Drill / Chuck Installation: To show greater detail Chuck guard is in the open position in photos. CHUCK GUARD MUST IN POWER MUST BE OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS! PLACE DURING OPERATION! TURN POWER OFF! Before inserting drill bits, chucks or arbors, always clean out spindle hole and taper hole with a clean cloth. Open chuck jaws completely by turning attached chuck key counter-clockwise until the jaws are fully opened.
Table tilting adjustment: Using an adjustable or box wrench loosen table level lock bolt. Carefully tilt the table to the degree needed, as shown on the angle index scale located on the table rotation point. Retighten nut securely. Note: Never tilt table if any material or fixturing is on it. Only make adjustments when table is free of loose articles. Table swing adjustment: To swing the table up to 360 degrees, loosen the clamp release bolt and swing table to the desired position.
TURN POWER OFF! Wait until machine has come to a complete stop before proceeding with speed change! Speed adjustment: Open the pulley cover to expose the pulleys and drive belts. Loosen the belt tension lock handles. Choose the proper speed for the drilling operation. Move the belt to the correct step of the pulleys for the desired speed. (See diagram on page 8) Push the motor backwards until proper belt tension is applied.

The proper drill speed for a given drill bit size is as on following table: Material Cast Type Steel Tool Steel Cast Iron Mild Steel Alum. & Copper SURFACE FEET PER MINUTE Drill Dia. s.f.m. s.f.m. s.f.m. s.f.m. s.f.m.
Installation of drill bits in the chuck: A drill bit with a shaft of at least 1” long should be used to allow correct chuck jaw contact. If shaft length is less than 1” do not insert bit as far into the chuck where it allows jaw contact with drill flutes. Center drill bit into the chuck and tighten the chuck securely with the chuck key. Note: Always use sharp, straight bits. Never use bits with turned down shafts. Never exceed the maximum diameter bit size for the machine.
2. MAINTENANCE OF MACHINE MAINTENANCE 1. On a regular basis blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor. (Frequency depends on environment the machine is in) 2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the table and column will help to keep the surface clean. 3. All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication. 4. Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation mechanism, the spindle splines and the rack (teeth on the quill). 5.

ELECTRICAL WARNING 1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor. The proper plug must be used that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 2. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 3.
