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.
Note: The locking handle (HP3) is adjustable. To reposition, pull out on the handle and rotate it, then release it, making sure it reseats itself on the bolt head. 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.
The table locking wrench has a magnetic disc attached, and can be stored on any metal surface. Do not store in an area near the worktable, or where the wrench could vibrate off into moving parts. 7.0 Electrical connections Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury. Figure 11 18.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace immediately. damaged or worn 8.0 Adjustments 8.1 Tools needed for adjustments cord Pliers 13mm wrench 24mm wrench (provided) Rubber mallet 2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts: This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure 13.
The alignment pin (E) only works at 90° and must be reinserted when the table is returned to 90°. Reinsert the alignment pin, along with the nut, and tap it lightly with a rubber mallet for full insertion. 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).
1. Loosen lock handle (G, Figure 21). 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.
3. Rotate lock ring (F) counterclockwise as far as it will turn. You should be able to feel and hear when the lock ring reaches the end of its rotation. 5. Tighten lock handle (G). Depth is now set to more accurate position. 4. Tighten lock handle (G). 5. The bit will now stop at the marked depth when the downfeed handle is rotated. 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. 6.
1. Position table at the horizontal (zero degrees on scale). 2. Insert a small drill bit into the chuck. 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.
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 32) using a squirt can.
