Figure 11 Figure 12 Return Spring Adjustment The return spring is adjusted at the factory and should not need further adjustment. If adjustment is deemed necessary, follow the steps below while referring to Figure 13: 1. Unplug the machine from the power source. 2. Loosen two hex nuts (A). Do not remove. 3.
Work Light Install a light bulb, no larger than 60 watts into the socket accessed from beneath the head. The rocker switch controls the light switch (D, Fig. 13). IMPORTANT: If the drill press is connected to 230 volt power, you must install a bulb rated for 230 volt. Table Tilt Adjustment The table tilt adjustments are made on the table bracket under the table. To tilt the table (refer to Figures 14 and 15): Figure 15 Operation In the following steps do not over loosen.
Generally speaking, the smaller the drill bit, the greater the RPM required. Wood requires higher speeds than metal. Metal is usually drilled at slower speeds. In dusty environments, frequently blow out any dust that accumulates inside the motor.
Grounding Instructions Extension Cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Troubleshooting Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Drill press unplugged from wall, or motor. Check all plug connections. Fuse blown, or circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse, or reset circuit breaker. Cord damaged. Replace cord. Starting capacitor bad. Replace starting capacitor. Drill press does not come up to speed. Extension cord too light or too long. Replace with adequate size and length cord. Low current. Contact a qualified electrician. Drill Press vibrates excessively.
Troubleshooting (cont.) Trouble Probable Cause Remedy Bent drill bit. Replace drill bit. Worn spindle bearings. Replace spindle bearings. Bit, or chuck not properly installed. Reinstall the bit, or chuck properly. Quill returns too slow, or too fast. Spring has improper tension. Adjust spring tension. See the Return Spring Adjustment section. Chuck or arbor does not stay in place. Dirt, grease, etc on arbor, chuck, or spindle. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly with a cleaner degreaser.
