Assembly 1. Place the base (A, Figure 1) on a level floor. 2. With a 17mm wrench attach the column assembly (B, Figure 1) to the base (A, Figure 1) with four M10 x 40 hex cap bolts (C, Figure 1). Tighten firmly. 3. Thread lock handle (D, Figure 2) into the table bracket (E, Figure 2). Figure 1 4. Loosen the set screw (F, Figure 3) on the raising handle (G, Figure 3) with a 3mm hex wrench. 5. Slide the handle onto the table bracket shaft. 6.
. Install three down feed handles (B, Figure 4) into the down feed hub (C, Figure 4). 13. Raise table to approximately seven inches below spindle assembly, and lock the table in place. 14. Place a piece of scrap wood on the table. 15. Thoroughly clean spindle, arbor, and chuck. Important: These three pieces must be free of any rust protection, or lubricant. If they are not clean, the arbor and chuck will fail to seat in the spindle. Figure 4 16. Place arbor into the chuck. 17.
Adjusting the Depth Stop To drill multiple holes at the same preset depth, use the depth stop: 1. Use a pencil to mark the depth the bit will drill into the workpiece (A, Figure 7). 2. With the drill bit in the chuck, lower down feed handle to advance bit to your mark,see Figure 7. 3. With your other hand, advance the lock nuts (B, Figure 7) on the depth stop rod until they are snug to the seat (C, Figure 7). 4. The drill bit will now advance to this point. 5.
Return Spring Adjustment The return spring is adjusted at the factory and should not need further adjustment. If adjustment is deemed necessary: 1. Unplug the machine from the power source. 2. Loosen two jam nuts (A, Figure 9). Do not remove. 3. Firmly hold the coil spring cover (B, Figure 9). 4. Pull out the cover and rotate until the pin (C, Figure 9) on the return spring plate engages the next notch in the coil spring cover.
Basic Operation • Always use a back-up piece of scrap wood to cover the table. This protects both the table and the drill bit. • Place material to be drilled in such as way as to come into contact with the left side of the column. This prevents the material from spinning. If the workpiece is not large enough to come into contact with the column, use a clamp or drill press vise that is securely fastened to the table. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
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.
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 slowly, or too fast. Spring has improper tension. Adjust return spring tension Chuck, or arbor do not stay in place. Dirt, grease, etc. on arbor, chuck or spindle. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly with a cleaner degreaser. Excessive drill bit runout or wobble.
