Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a wellventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles. 3.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall into the bit or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation. 29. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over. 30. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop. 25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate.

6.0 Setup and assembly Read and understand all assembly instructions before attempting assembly. Failure to comply may cause serious injury. 6.1 Unpacking Separate all parts from the packing material. Check each part against sect. 6.2 Shipping contents and make certain that all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. Report any shortages or shipping damage to your JET distributor. Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have been factory-coated with a protectant.
6.4 Location The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough space around drill press to allow for operations and any adjustments or servicing. 6.5 Assembly Do not connect drill press to power source until machine has been fully assembled. 1. Place the base upon a level floor. It may be secured to the floor with lag screws (not provided) through the two holes in the base. Refer to Figure 1 for hole spacing.
Figure 9 The head assembly is heavy! To avoid injury and/or damage to equipment, lift the head onto the column only with additional assistance! 15. With the aid of a second person, carefully lift the head assembly and place it onto the column. Slide head down as far as it will go. Rotate head assembly until the sides of the belt cover are parallel with the sides of the base. Figure 7 9. Place stop collar (G, Figure 8) onto column and slide it down over top end of rack.
Important: These three pieces must be free of any rust protection, or lubricant. Any grease or residue in these areas can cause the pieces to separate, creating a safety hazard and potential damage to the tool. It is recommended that the drill press be connected to a dedicated 15 amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use time delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over recommendations. 7.1 Grounding instructions This machine must be grounded.
Figure 14 Figure 13 8.2.2 Table repositioning 7.2 Extension cords Refer to Figure 14. The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position equipment near the power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
8.5 Chuck and arbor removal Refer to Figure 17. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 2. Lower the table to clear the chuck area. 4. Lower quill assembly with the downfeed handles to expose slot and lock it in the lowered position (see sect. 8.5, Quill retraction lock). While maintaining the lowered quill position, rotate spindle by hand to align the slot in the spindle with the slot in the quill. 5. Insert drift key (HP1) into the aligned slots and tap lightly.
2. Use downfeed handles (D, Figure 21) to lower the bit until it just contacts the top surface of workpiece, as shown in Figure 20. 3. Hold downfeed handle in position, and rotate scale ring (E, Figure 21) to zero. This sets the workpiece surface as your zero reference point. 4. Move workpiece out from under bit, and rotate downfeed handle to lower bit until scale ring (E) reads your desired depth. 5.
4. Tighten lock handle (G). 8.9 Quill retraction lock 5. The bit will now stop at the marked depth when the downfeed handle is rotated. 6. To release the depth stop, loosen lock handle (G). The quill can be held in the down position and prevented from retracting, such as for operating a sanding drum or to facilitate removal of chuck and arbor. To lock the quill in down position, proceed as follows (Figure 24): 1. Loosen lock handle (G, Figure 24). 2.
3. Place a scrap board flat on the table. Do not allow board to move from this position; use clamps to secure it if needed. Bring the bit down until it leaves a slight perforation in the board; then raise it back up. 4. Connect power to the drill press, and turn on the laser using the button at the front of the drill press head. 5. Use a set of pliers to gently turn either of the knobs (Figure 26) until the laser lines form crosshairs exactly over the perforation in the board, as shown in Figure 27.
10.2 General Inspection Press button (E) to activate laser. Press again to turn off. Before each operation of your JDP-15F/15B drill press, make a habit of checking that all locking handles, set screws, bolts, etc., are tight on the table and head. Confirm that the drill bit is securely inserted inside the chuck jaws. 9.2 Safety key The switch has a safety feature that prevents unauthorized or accidental starting of the drill press. Clear all items, such as tools and rags, away from machine.
Exposed metal surfaces of table and base should be kept clean and free of rust. Protective sprays or paste wax are available from most hardware stores. Note: Avoid wax that contains silicone or other synthetic ingredients; these materials can find their way into lumber and make staining and finishing difficult. The quill return spring should receive SAE 20 oil once yearly. Apply the oil beneath the spring housing (D, Figure 31) using a squirt can.
