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.
18. Thoroughly clean spindle, arbor and chuck (Figure 12) with a soft rag and solvent, such as mineral spirits. with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 13. Before connecting to power source, be sure the switch is in off position. 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.
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.
Reinsert the alignment pin, along with the nut, and tap it lightly with a rubber mallet for full insertion. 8.3 Table insert leveling Refer to Figure 16. The insert should be flush with the table surface: 1. Remove the two screws beneath table insert (G, Figure 16). 2. Loosen any of the wing nuts (H) and rotate the bolts (J) as needed until the insert is level with the table surface.
it will turn. You should be able to feel and hear when the lock ring reaches the end of its rotation. 8.7 Changing spindle speeds Refer to Figure 19. 1. Disconnect machine from power source. 6. Tighten lock handle (G). 2. Open belt cover. Loosen knob (A, Figure 19) and pull tensioner (B) away from belt to release tension. 7. The bit can now be repeatedly lowered to the pre-set depth using the downfeed handles. 8. 3. Consult speed chart (C) and position belts accordingly.
Figure 22 1. Loosen lock handle (G, Figure 24). 2. Rotate downfeed handle (D) to lower spindle to the point at which it is to be locked, and hold downfeed handle stationary in this position. 3. Rotate lock ring (F) clockwise all the way until it stops. You should be able to feel and hear when the lock ring reaches the end of its rotation. 4. Tighten lock handle (G). You can now release downfeed handle. The quill will remain in this lowered position until released. 5.
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. The laser is now calibrated properly, and your hole center marks can be centered under the cross hairs for accurate drilling.
10.2 General Inspection Press button (E) to activate laser. Press again to turn off. Before each operation of your JDP-17 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.
