SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possiblity of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES 1. WARNING: DO NOT operate your drill press until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 3. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST be securely fastened to a stand, workbench or floor.
UNPACKING Carefully unpack the drill press and all loose items from the carton. Figure 2 illustrates the drill press and all loose items supplied with the machine. WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE DRILL PRESS TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. Fig.
CLEANING Remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the drill press and all loose items. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. DO NOT use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Assemble the column (A) Fig. 3, to the base (B) using the four screws, three of which are shown at (C). 2. Loosen set screw in ring (D) Fig. 3, and remove ring (D) and raising rack (E). Fig. 3 3. Insert shaft of worm gear (F) Fig.
4. Insert raising rack (E) Fig. 5, which was removed in STEP 2, into groove in table bracket (H) making sure gear inside table bracket is engaged with teeth of raising rack. Fig. 5 5. Slide raising rack (E) Fig. 6, and table (J) onto drill press column, as shown. Make sure bottom of raising rack (E) is engaged with flange (K) on base of column. Fig. 6 6. Re-assemble ring (D) Fig. 7, which was removed in STEP 2 to column.
7. Assemble table raising and lowering handle (M) Fig. 8, to shaft on table bracket and tighten set screw in handle against flat on shaft. 8. Thread table bracket lock screw (O) Fig. 8, into hole in table bracket, as shown. Fig. 8 9. Place the drill press head onto the column as far as it will go. After the drill press spindle is aligned with the table and base, tighten the two set screws (P) Fig. 9. Fig. 9 10. Thread the three pinion shaft handles (R) Fig.
11. IMPORTANT: Make certain the bottom of spindle (S) Fig. 11, and tapered hole (T) in chuck are clean and free of any grease, lacquer or rust preventive coatings. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can effectively remove any substance from the spindle and chuck; however, carefully follow the manufacturer’s safety rules concerning its use. Fig. 11 12. IMPORTANT: OPEN THE CHUCK JAWS AS WIDE AS POSSIBLE, MAKING SURE THE CHUCK JAWS ARE UP INSIDE CHUCK. 13. Hold chuck (U) Fig.
1. Drill two 3/8" diameter holes (C) Fig. 12B, corresponding to the mounting holes (A) Fig. 12A, of the drill press base in a 21" by 28" minimum size plywood board (D) Fig. 12B. 2. Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board using the carriage bolts, nuts, and washers (E) Fig. 12B, furnished with your drill press. The carriage bolt heads must be countersunk such that the bolt heads are flush with the bottom surface of the mounting board in order to guarantee proper stability. 3.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. 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 tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
SPINDLE SPEEDS Twelve spindle speeds of 250, 360, 410, 540, 590, 650, 1090, 1280, 1450, 1820, 2180 and 3000 RPM are available with the 14" Drill Press. Fig. 15, illustrates which steps of the pulleys the belts must be placed to obtain the twelve speeds. Fig.
Fig. 16 CHANGING SPINDLE SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION 1. DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 2. Lift up belt and pulley guard (A) Fig. 16. 3. ing. Loosen tension lock knob (B) Fig. 16, along with the tension lock knob located on the other side of the head cast- 4. Release belt tension by moving tension lever (C) Fig. 16, forward. 5. Position the two belts (D) Fig. 16, on the desired steps of the motor, center and spindle pulleys.
SWITCH The switch (A) Fig. 17, is located on the front of the drill press head. To turn the drill press “ON” move the switch to the up position. To turn the drill press “OFF” move the switch to the down position. Fig. 17 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION We suggest that when the drill press is not in use, the switch be locked in the “OFF” position. This can be done by grasping the switch toggle (B) and pulling it out of the switch, as shown in Fig. 18.
3. The table can be tilted right or left by pulling out and removing table alignment pin (C) Fig. 20, and loosening table locking bolt (D). NOTE: If pin (C) is difficult to remove, turn nut (E) clockwise to pull pin out of casting. Tilt table to the desired angle and tighten bolt (D). Fig. 20 4. When returning table to the level position, replace table alignment pin (C) Fig. 21. This will automatically position the table surface at 90 degrees to the spindle. Then tighten bolt (D). Fig. 21 5.
DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, a depth stop is provided in the pinion shaft housing and is used as follows: 1. Loosen lock screw (A) Fig. 23, and rotate housing (B) until the pointer (C) lines up with the desired depth indicated on scale (D). Then tighten lock screw (A). 2. All holes will then be drilled to the exact depth as indicated on scale (D) Fig. 23. NOTE: Scale (D) is calibrated in both inches and metric. Fig.
OPERATION Your drill press is to be used with drill bits of 5/8" or less in diameter. The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a start on common drill press operations. Use scrap material for practice to get a feel of the machine before attempting regular work. IMPORTANT: When the workpiece is long enough it should always be positioned on the table with one end against the column, as shown in Fig. 26.
