Bench Drill Press ON/OFF switch (Fig. 21)
1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the yellow
safety key (1) into the switch housing (2). As a
safety feature, the switch cannot be turned ON
without the safety key.
2. Flip the switch (3) upwards to the ON position.
3. To turn the drill press OFF, press the switch
downwards.
4. To lock the switch in the OFF position,
remove the safety key (1) from the switch. Store
the safety key in a safe place.
Light and laser Line ON/OFF switches (Fig.
21)
1. The light switch (4) is located below the
ON/OFF switch on the left.
2. The laser switch (5) is located below the
ON/OFF switch on the right.
Position the table and workpiece (Fig. 22)
1. Always place a piece of backup material (1)
(wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the
workpiece (2). This will prevent splintering on the
underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks
through.
2. To keep the material from spinning out of
control, it must contact the left side (3) of the
column as illustrated, or be clamped (4; not
included) to the table.
Note: For small workpieces that cannot be
clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not
included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to
the table to avoid injury.
GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES
TO PREVENT THE
WORKPIECE AND THE BACKUP MATERIAL
FROM SLIPPING FROM YOUR HAND WHILE
DRILLING, POSITION WORKPIECE AND
BACKUP MATERIAL TO THE LEFT SIDE OF
THE COLUMN. IF THE WORKPIECE AND THE
BACKUP MATERIAL ARE NOT LONG
ENOUGH TO REACH THE COLUMN, CLAMP
WORKPIECE AND BACKUP MATERIAL TO
THE TABLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
To drill a hole:
1. Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by
using a centre punch or a sharp nail or turn ON
Laser Line to mark drilling point.
2. Before turning ON the bench drill press, turn
the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line
the drill bit tip up with the mark. Clamp the
workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the bench drill press and pull down
on the feed handles with appropriate force
needed to allow the drill bit to drill material.
Note: FEEDING TOO SLOWLY might cause the
drill bit to turn in the chuck. FEEDING TOO
RAPIDLY might stop the motor, cause the belt to
slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill
bit. Practice with scrap material to get the feel of
the machine before attempting to do any drilling
operation.
