SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS WARNING ICONS Your power tool and its Instruction Manual may contain “WARNING ICONS” (a picture symbol intended to alert you to and/or instruct you how to avoid a potentially hazardous condition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will help you operate your tool better and safer. Shown below are some of the symbols you may see. SAFETY ALERT: Precautions that involve your safety.
POWER TOOL SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool. 9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in. 21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESS 10. SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. 11. WHEN using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table. 12. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened before drilling. 13. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be drilled. 14.
22. DO NOT use bits with screw tips. These bits will pull the workpiece up from the table and start to spin, causing a serious risk of injury. 23. MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece. 24. TO AVOID INJURY from accidental starting, always turn the switch “OFF” and unplug the drill press before installing or removing any accessory or attachment or making any adjustment. 25. Be sure the chuck is tightly secured to the spindle. 26.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS ! WARNING To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your grinder is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. Connect to a 120 V, 3.2 Amp circuit and use a 3.2 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
! WARNING This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and receptacle that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded receptacle is not available, an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a two-contact grounded receptacle. The adapter (Fig.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS BASE – Supports drill press. For additional stability, holes are provided in the base to bolt drill press to the floor. (See “ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES”.) BACKUP MATERIAL – A piece of scrap wood placed between the workpiece and table. The backup board prevents wood in the workpiece from splintering when the drill passes through the backside of the workpiece. It also prevents drilling into the table top.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS Estimated Assembly Time: 25 - 35 Minutes. Fig. B ! WARNING ● ● 2 For your safety, never connect plug to power source receptacle until all assembly and adjustment steps are all complete, and you have read and understood the safety instructions. The drill press is a heavy power tool and should be lifted with the help of two people OR MORE to safely assemble it. 4 3 1 3. Place the rack (5) into the inside of table bracket (4) as shown in Fig.
1. Carefully lift the head (1) and slide it onto the column (2). Make sure the head (1) slides down over the column as far as possible. Align the head with the base. 2. Tighten the two head locking set screws (3) on the right side of the head by using the provided 4 mm hex wrench. 6. Install the rack ring (6) onto the column, so the top lip of the rack sits into the rack ring (6). (Fig. E) NOTE: To avoid column or collar damage, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the set screw (7).
1. Bag “E” - Clean out the tapered hole in the chuck (1) with a clean cloth and a non-alcohol based cleaner. Wipe clean all oil reside and any dirt or grime thoroughly. (Fig. I) 2. Clean tapered surfaces on the spindle (2) in the same manner as above. NOTE: Make sure there are no foreign particles sticking to the surfaces. The slightest piece of dirt or oil reside on any of these surfaces will prevent the chuck from seating properly. This will cause the drill chuck and bit to wobble. 3.

Push the motor away from the drill press head until the belt is properly tensioned. NOTE: Belt tension is correct if the belt deflects approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) when pressed at its center. 6. Tighten the belt tension lock knob (1) to secure the motor in position. Close pulley cover.
OPERATION BASIC DRILL PRESS OPERATION ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. S) The ON/OFF switch has a removable, safety key. With the safety key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized. 1. To turn the drill press “ON”, insert the safety key (1) into the slot of the switch (2). Move the switch upward to the “ON” position. 2. To turn the drill press “OFF”, move the switch downward. 3.
INSTALLING DRILL BIT IN CHUCK (FIG. U) 1. With the switch “OFF” and the safety key removed, open the chuck jaws (1) using the chuck key (2). Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws (1). 2. Insert the drill bit (3) into the chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping by the jaws, but not far enough to touch the spiral grooves (flutes) of the drill bit when the jaws are tightened. 3. Make sure that the drill is centred in the chuck. 4.
BASIC OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS To get the best results and minimize the likelihood of personal injury, follow these instructions for operating your drill press. ! WARNING When using a drill press vise, it MUST be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or damaged vise or bit parts. ! WARNING For your own safety, always observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS listed on pages 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this instruction manual when operating the drill press. Fig.
FEEDING 1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill bit to cut. 2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn. Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit. 3. When drilling metal, it is necessary to lubricate the drill bit tip with oil to prevent burning of the workpiece and bit.
MAINTENANCE Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon - zinc), or rechargeable (nickel - cadmium) batteries. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity. Do not charge the battery which is not a rechargeable battery. ! WARNING For your own safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your drill press. ! WARNING To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power lead is worn or cut in any way, replace it immediately.
