UNPACK PRODUCT FROM PACKAGE AND REVIEW CONTENTS.KEEPALL PACKAGING UNTIL
PRODUCT HAS SEENREVIEWED.
Do not operatethe machineuntil it is completelyassembled.
Make sure the proper electrical regulationsare followed, andthat the machine is properly grounded.
Beforeswitching the machineON,ALWAYS:a. Makesure all chuck keys,spannersand wrenchesare
removedfrom the machine, b. Examinethe setup carefully, makingcertainthat the workpiece is
perfectly secure,c. Makesure your clothing isproperly adjusted.
Make all adjustmentswith the power OFF.
Always use the correct drilling speedsfor the drill size,and the type of material being drilled.
NEVERleavethe drill unattendedwhile it is running. Turn the machineOFFand do not leaveuntil it
has cometo a completestop. When you havefinished with the machine,always removeand store
the drill bits.
CAUTION:This Drill Press is designedfor usewith Drill Bits and Mortising attachments ONLY.
The useof other cuttingtoolsor accessoriescouldbe hazardous.ALWAYSuse clamps,or a drill
vise boltedto the table, toholdthe work. ItshouldNEVERbe held in barehands.
USINGTHELASER
Thelaser light/laser radiation usedin this lasercentering devicesystem is Class2 with maximum
1roW and40Onto- 70Ontowavelengths.Theselasersdo not normally present an optical hazard,
although staring at the beammay causeflash blindness.
Changingthe Batteries
Unclip the battery cover to gainaccessto the batteries.Replaceboth AA batteries, taking careto
insert the new batteries with the correct polarity.
Use only2 AA batteries.DONOTmix old and new batteries.DONOTmix alkaline,standard (carbon
-zinc) or rechargeable(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Replacethe laser light battery coverand makecertainthat the light is not directedtowards the eye
of a person.Always makesure that the laser beamis aimedat a sturdy work piecewithout reflective
surfaces, i.e. wood or rough surfacesare acceptable.Bright, shiny, reflectivesheetsteelor the like is
not suitable for laseruse,as the reflectivesurfacecould direct the beam backat the operator. Only
turn the laserbeamon after the work piece is in place.CAUTION:Removethe laser light batteries
whentool is to be stored without usefor a few days.
Resetting the Laser Beam
Loosen the set screw on eachof the lasertubes and adjust the tubes until the two beams intersect
at the point wherethe drill bit touchesthe work piece.Retightenthe set screwsmore. If left in position,
the batteriesmight leakanddamagethe laserlightassembly.Damagecausedby batteryleakageisnot
covered under warranty.

Column Assemblyto Base
NOTE:Ideally,the baseshould befirmly boltedto thefloor, prior to assembly of other components.
Themounting surface must beflat, leveland capableof supporting the drill weight.
With the baseona flat levelsurface, bolt onthe Column usingthe 4.M10 Hexhead screws provided
andtighten. Carefullylocatethetable in its support andtighten up with the table locking handle.Check
to makesure the column securing set screws, at the column support, are tight. Fitthe crank to the
shaft onthe crank assembly.
Head to Column
NOTE:tt may be necessaryto unscrewthe HeadLock SetScrews slightly to make surethey do not
protrude internally as this would prevent the headfrom sliding fully into position. 1. Raisethe head
and locateit ontop of the column.2. Alignthe headwith the baseand firmly securewith the set screws
using thewrench. Locatethe threefeed handlesand screwthem intothe hub of the spindle feedshaft.
ChuckGuardAssembly
NOTE:This operation should be carried out beforethe chuck is installed. Slidethe Chuck Guardover
the Quillshaft,turn it so that the pinchbolt facesthefront, then tighten upthe pinchboltto temporarily
secure it in this position. IMPORTANT- Makesure the QuillShaft Spindle is at thetop of itstravel.
Pulley CoverKnob
Locatethe knob, with pan headscrewand attach to the cover, screwing on tightly.
InstallingtheChuck
1. Slide the table up the column and secureit to within 6"of the spindle.
2. Openthe jaws of the chuckto their maximum, using the chuck key supplied.
3. Put a pieceof scrap wood onto the table to protect the chuck nose.
4. Make sure all parts arethoroughly clean, dry, and burr free. Placethe chuck overthe end of the
arbor and pull the spindle down usingthe feed handles,pressingthe chuck jaws hardagainstthe
pieceof scrap wood until the chuck is securely in place.
5. Turn Chuck Guard180 degreesandtighten Lock SetScrewsslightly to makesure pinch bolt.
Fittingthe DriveBelts
Undo the BeltTension Locking Screws (oneon either sideof the head)andturn the BeltTension
Leverclockwise to bring the Motor Pulley closerto the Spindle Pulley (which will allow the beltsto
be slipped onwith ease).
Lightly greasethe idler pulleypivot shaft and locatethe idler pulleyassemblyin its' mounting between
the Motor and spindle Pulleys.Consultthe chart insidethe belt cover,and fit the belts in the position
corresponding to spindle/drill speedrequired.
Turn the BeltTensionLevercounter-clockwisesothat tension is applied to the belts.Tensionis correct
when the belts deflect by approx. 1/2" at their centers of run when using reasonablethumb pressure.
Lockthe motor in the position with the BeltTension Locking Screws. 1. Theidler pulleywill 'float' so
that tension is applied equallyto both belts. 2. If the belt should slip while drilling, adjust the belt
tension.
