GENERAL SAFETY RULES RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Read and understand all warnings and operating instruc- tions before using this equipment. failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Failure to follow these rules may result in serious injury. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE LASER FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. EYE INJURY -LASER LIGHT * * Do not stare into beam aperture, or into a reflection from a mirror-like surface Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam * * * * EYE INJURY - LASER LIGHT Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the laser.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS Use proper extension cords. Imroper cord gauge can cause overheating. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.

ASSEMBLY RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. For your own safety, do not connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED 3mm and 5mm hex wrench (supplied) 10mm, 17mm, 24mm open end or socket wrenches (not supplied) ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE Assembly for this machine takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. 1.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. You must secure the plywood base to the floor or supporting surface if the drill press has any tendency to vibrate, slide, or walk during normal operation. 6. Attach the column (A) Fig. 6 to the base (B) using the four M10x40mm hex head screws (C), three of which are shown. 7. Attach the table adjusting handle (D) Fig. 7 to the worm gear shaft (E). Tighten the screw (F) against the flat on the shaft with the 3mm wrench supplied. 8. Thread the table clamp handle (G) Fig.
EYE INJURY - LASER LIGHT. Do not stare into the laser beam or aperture or into a reflection from a mirror-like surface. 14. Use the two socket head cap screws (C) Fig. LA2 included in laser packaging and the supplied 4mm hex wrench to attach the front laser housing (A) Fig. LA1 to the rear laser housing (B) loosely. B A A Fig. LA2 Fig. LA1 15. Place this laser housing assembly on the drill press column (D) Fig. LA3. Rest it on the collar (E) Fig. LA3. 16. Tighten the screws (C) Fig.
IMPORTANT: Make certain that the tapered hole in the bottom of spindle (T) Fig. 13, and the taper on the spindle adapter (U) are clean and free of grease, lacquer, or rustpreventive coatings. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can effectively remove these coatings from the spindle and spindle adapter. However, carefully follow the manufacturer’s safety rules regarding its use. T V U 21. Push the spindle adapter (U) Fig. 13 into the spindle (T).
24. Align the two holes in the lamp bracket (A) Fig. 17, with the two holes (B) on the side of the drill press head. 25. Place the cord bushing (C) Fig. 17, around the top of the lamp cord (D) 26. Align the two holes in the lamp cord bracket (F) Fig. 18 with the two holes in the lamp bracket (A) and drill press head. 27. Place a 1/4" washer onto a M6x1x12mm cap head screw. Insert the screw (G) Fig.
FLEXIBLE LAMP The flexible lamp operates independently of the drill press. To turn the lamp “ON” and “OFF”, rotate switch (A) Fig. 22. FIRE HAZARD. To reduce the risk of fire, use 40 watt or less, 120 volt, reflector track type light bulb (not supplied). DO NOT USE a standard household light bulb. Do not allow the reflector tracktype light bulb to extend below the lamp shade. A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any adjustments. Fig.
TABLE INSERT The drill press table comes with an insert (H) Fig. 26 made of MDF to help prevent wear and tear on the bit when it drills down through the workpiece. To adjust: 1. Place the insert (H) Fig. 26 in the hole in the table. 2. If the insert is not level with the table, adjust the four jack screws (J) Fig. 27A. When the table is level, tighten the locking nut on each screw. 3. Secure the insert with the 2 provided screws. H J Fig. 26 Fig.
MAKING THE LASERS INTERSECT 1. 2. 3. 4. Place a piece of wood (A) Fig. L4 on the table and clamp it in place. Use the handle (B) to lower the quill (C). Make an indentation in the wood with the alignment pin (D) Fig. L4. Turn on the laser and adjust both beams to intersect at that point by rotating the laser holder (A) Fig. L5. Ensure that the lasers align at different heights. Raise or lower the table, make a new indentation, and turn on the lasers.
CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION NOTE: A belt-positioning speed chart (E) Fig. 28B is located on the inside top cover of the drill press. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 1. Open the belt and pulley guard (A) Fig. 28B. 2. Loosen the tension lock knobs located on both sides of the head casting (one shown at (B) Fig. 28B). Move the tension lever (C) forward. Pivot the motor (D) toward the front of the drill press. 3.
MACHINE USE NOTE: Use bits with this drill press that have a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter. NOTE: Use scrap material for practice to get a feel of the machine before attempting regular work. RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may result in risk of injury. IMPORTANT: If the workpiece is long enough, position it with one end against the left side of the column (Fig. 32).
DRILLING METAL Use clamps to hold the workpiece. DO NOT try to hold the workpiece with your hand. The drill bit may seize the work at any time and spin, causing damage to the machine and/or injury to you. The drill bit will break if the workpiece strikes the column. Clamp the workpiece firmly. Tilting, twisting, or shifting will result in a rough hole and drill bit breakage. For flat work, lay the workpiece on a wooden base and clamp it firmly against the table.
MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION & RUST PROTECTION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table, extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a commercially available protective product designed for this purpose.
