SETTING DRILL DEPTH (FIG 13)

The drill depth scale (18) is located on the hub (A4). See FIG 13. The

scale pointer (A5) indicates the spindle travel distance.

To stop the drill at a speciﬁc depth for consistent and repetitive

drilling:

1. Loosen the depth scale lock (A6)

2. Rotate the scale hub (A4) until pointer (A5) is aligned to the

desired depth on the scale.

3. Tighten the depth scale lock (A6). The chuck will stop after

traveling downward to the distance selected.

ADJUSTING RETURN SPRING (FIG 14)

The return spring is adjusted at the factory and should not need

further adjustment. If adjustment is deemed necessary:

1. Unplug the machine from the power source.

2. Loose the two jam nuts (A7). Do not remove.

3. Firmly hold the coil spring cover (A8). Pull out the cover and

rotate until the pin (A9) on the return spring plate engages the

next notch in the cover. Turn the cover clockwise to decrease

tension and counterclockwise to increase tension.

4. Tighten two jam nuts. Do not over-tighten. The jam nuts should

be tightened against each other.

SQUARING THE TABLE TO THE HEAD

(FIG 15)

1. Install a 3" long drill bit into the chuck (4) and tighten.

2. Raise and lock the table (8) about 1" from the end of the drill bit.

3. Place a combination square on the table as shown. The drill bit

should be parallel to the straight edge of the square.

4. If an adjustment is needed, loosen the bevel lock bolt

(B4-FIG 12 ) with a wrench.

5. Square the table to the bit by tilting the table.

6. Tighten the bevel lock bolt (B4-FIG 12) when square.

OPERATION

ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG 16)

1. To turn the tool ON, move the switch (3) to the"ON" position.

2. To turn the tool OFF, move the switch (3) to the "OFF" position.

INSTALLING OR REMOVING BITS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only

use the chuck key provided with this drill press or a

duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-ejecting and will

“pop” out of the chuck when you let go. This action is

designed to help prevent throwing of the chuck key

from the chuck when power is turned “ON”. Do not

use any other key as a substitute; order a new one if

damaged or lost.
