rack against the worm gear in the table support, slide
table support bracket (b) down over the Column tube.
4) Replace the Column Collar by sliding it back over the
Column. Position the collar so that the bevel side is
facing down. Slide the Collar down over the raising
rack. (See Fig. D)
IMPORTANT: Column Collar MUST NOT be pushed all
the way down onto the top of the raising rack. MAKE
SURE top of the raising rack is under bottom of ring and
that there is enough clearance to allow the raising rack to
rotate around the column. Check Column Collar for proper
adjustment. Collar should not be angled on the column
and it should be positioned so that the rack will slide
freely when table is rotated 360º around the column tube.
NOTE: To avoid Column or Collar damage, do not over-
tighten the set screw.
5) Locate Worktable Locking Handle (10) (in loose parts
bag). Thread the Worktable Locking Handle into the
hole in the rear of the table support bracket, from left
side, and tighten it by hand. (See Fig. E)
2. ASSEMBLY OF DRILL PRESS HEAD (See Fig. F)
Before assembly of the drill press head, you should
loosen the head locking screws. To attach the drill press
head onto the Column, carefully lift the head above the
Column tube and slide it onto the Column, making sure
the head slides down onto the Column as far as possible.
Align the head with the Table and the Base. Tighten the
2 head locking screws (e) located on the left side of the
head by using a 0.16” ( 4mm) hex wrench.
CAUTION: The head assembly weighs
approximately 40 pounds. Get help when needed.
3. ASSEMBLY OF FEED HANDLES (See Fig. G1 & G2)
Locate the 3 Feed Handles. Thread the Handles into the
three holes located in the pinion shaft hub located on the
side of the drill press head.
4. ASSEMBLY OF CHUCK (See Fig. H1 & H2)
1) To install the Chuck, clean out the tapered hole in
the Chuck and clean the spindle taper on the drill
press head using a clean cloth.
NOTE: Both tapered surfaces must be clean of oil, grease
and dirt. A piece of dirt on any of these surfaces will
prevent the chuck from seating properly.
2) Open the Chuck jaws as wide as possible by turning
the Chuck sleeve. Slide the Chuck onto the tapered
spindle on the drill press head. (See H1)
3) Holding the Chuck on the spindle, tap with a block
of wood and hammer or a soft tip hammer to set the
Chuck onto the spindle. (See Fig. H2)
CAUTION: Never drive the Chuck onto the spindle using a
metal hammer as this could damage the Chuck.
ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Always disconnect the power supply before
making any adjustments to the machine.
1. SPINDLE SPEED (See Fig. I)
Five different spindle speeds allow you to drill a wide
variety of material including wood, plastic, and metal.
Refer to speed chart and select the speed required for
the job at hand. The machine has 5 speed settings: 620-
3100 RPM.
2. CHANGING SPEEDS (See Fig. J, K)
The spindle speed is determined by the location of the
belt on the pulleys inside the head assembly.
To change the pulley configuration:
Loosen the Belt Cover Locking Screw and lift up the Belt
Cover.
Loosen the Belt Tension Locking Knob(14).
Move the belt to the correct pulley step for the desired
speed.
Push motor backward until moderate Belt Tension is
acquired. (See J)
Retighten the Belt Tension Locking Knob.
WARNING: Use the recommended speed
for the drill bit and the workpiece
material.
3. WORK TABLE ADJUSTMENT
1) Loosen the Locking Screw at the rear of the table.
Move the table up or down the Column until the
desired height is reached and lock the table into
position. Re-tighten the Locking Screw.
2) The Worktable can rotate ±45° to left or right.
Slacken the locking nut (f) underneath the Table
with a wrench and rotate the table to the desired
angle. Re-tighten the locking nut. (See Fig. L, M)
4. ADJUSTING THE DRILLING DEPTH (See Fig. N)
To adjust the drilling depth when you need to drill a
number of holes to exactly the same depth:
Rotate depth scale locking knob to desired setting.
