8.3 Return spring adjustment
The return spring is adjusted by the manufacturer
and should not require attention. If adjustment is
deemed necessary, follow the steps below while
referring to Figure 8-3:
1. Unplug machine from power source.
2. Loosen lock nut (E). Do not remove.
3. Firmly hold coil spring cover (F).
4. Pull out cover and rotate until pin (G) on housing
engages the next notch in coil spring cover.
Turn cover clockwise to decrease tension and
counterclockwise to increase tension.
5. Tighten lock nut (E). Do not over-tighten or
force nut too strongly against spring cover.

8.4 Table tilt adjustment
Table tilt adjustments are made on table bracket
beneath table.
Refer to Figures 8-4 and 8-5.
In the following steps do not
over-loosen. This could cause table assembly to
separate from column, fall and cause injury.
1. IDP-17: Loosen set screw (H) with 6mm hex
wrench.
IDP-22: Loosen set screw (H) with 5mm hex
wrench).
2. IDP-17: Loosen hex cap screw (J) with 23mm
or adjustable wrench.
IDP-22: Loosen two hex nuts (J) with 19mm or
adjustable wrench.
3. Tilt table to desired angle, referring to scale and
pointer atop table bracket.
4. Tighten screw or nuts (J).
5. Tighten set screw (H).

10.0 Operation
1. Insert drill bit into chuck jaws about 1-
inch (25.4mm) deep. When using a small bit, do
not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes
of the bit. Make sure bit is centered in chuck
before tightening chuck with key.
2. For a small workpiece that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise. The vise must
be clamped or bolted to the table. Always use a
back-up piece of scrap wood to cover the table.
This protects both table and drill bit.
Workpiece must be
clamped to table or secured in a drill press
vise that is securely fastened to table.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
3. Feed the bit into the material with only enough
force to allow the drill bit to work. Feeding too
slowly may cause burning of the workpiece.
Feeding too quickly may cause the motor to
stop and/or the drill bit to break.
4. Generally speaking, the smaller the drill bit, the
greater the RPM required. Soft materials
require higher speeds; hard metals slower
speeds.
