SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE DRILL PRESS WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. 1. TOOL PURPOSE. This drill press is designed to drill through metal and wood. Drilling through other materials could result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE DRILL PRESS 12. DRILLING THE WORKPIECE. • Allow spindle to reach full speed before drilling the workpiece. • Never start the machine with the drill bit pressed against the workpiece. • Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the table. • Set the drill press to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled. 13. Do not touch moving pieces. Keep hands away from the drill bit during operation.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS In the event of a malfunction or breakdown , grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. 1. Do not modify the plug provided.
KNOW YOUR DRILL PRESS TOOL PURPOSE Drill presses are mainly used to drill clean, precise cylindrical holes into workpieces or enlarge existing holes. You may also find other uses for your drill press such as reaming, countersinking, counterboring, etc. Refer to the diagram below and on page 10 to become familiarized with the parts and controls of your drill press. 1 2 3 6 4 5 18 7 8 17 15 16 19 9 10 14 13 11 12 Fig. 2 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS UNPACKING With the help of a friend or trustworthy foe, carefully remove the drill press from the packaging. Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until the drill press is completely assembled. Before using the drill press, you must assemble the unit using the instructions in this section. Check your packing list against the diagram below.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the drill press in until the missing or damaged part is repaired or replaced. The column assembly (column, column support, rack, rack collar, and table support bracket) must be attached to the base. The table and table support handles must be attached to the table support bracket. The head must be attached to the column.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS DRILL PRESS HEAD TO COLUMN (FIG. 5) 1 WARNING: The drill press head is heavy. To avoid injury, two people should lift it into position. 1. Carefully lift the drill press head assembly (Fig. 5 - 1) and position it over the column (Fig. 5 - 2). 2. Place the mounting opening (Fig. 5 - 3) on the drill press head over the top of the column. Make sure the drill press head is seated properly on the column. 4 3 2 3.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS MOUNTING THE DRILL PRESS (FIG. 8) The drill press must be securely fastened through the mounting holes (Fig. 8 - 1) to a stand or workbench with heavy-duty fasteners (not included). This will prevent the drill press from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation. 1 1 IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a tendency to move during operation, fasten the workbench securely to the floor. LED BULB An LED bulb has been assembled in the socket of the head. Fig.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS REMOVE THE CHUCK (FIG. 10) 1. Turn the feed handles (1) to lower the chuck (2) to the lowest position. 2. Insert the wedge (3) into the opening of the quill. Gently tap on the wedge using a rubber mallet (4) (not included). The chuck and arbor will drop out. NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the drill or chuck, be prepared to catch the chuck as it falls. 3 1 4 2 RAISE OR LOWER THE TABLE (FIG. 11) Fig. 10 1. Loosen the support lock handle (Fig.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS INSTALLING A DRILL BIT (FIG. 13) 1. Place the chuck key (Fig. 13 - 1) into the side keyhole of the chuck (Fig. 13 - 2), meshing the key with the gear teeth. 2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws (Fig. 13 - 3). 3. Insert a drill bit (Fig. 13 - 4) into the chuck far enough to obtain the maximum grip of the chuck jaws on the bit shank. 4. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before the final tightening of the chuck. 2 1 3 4 5.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS 1. Place a workpiece on the table. 2. Turn the laser switch (Fig. 15 - 1) to the ON position. 1 3. Lower the drill bit to meet the workpiece (Fig. 16 - 2). The two laser lines should cross where the drill meets the workpiece. 3 4 4. If the laser needs to be adjusted: a. Using the included 3 mm hex key, turn the laser adjustment set screws (Fig. 15 - 3) counterclockwise. There is one of each side of the head. b. Rotate the laser light housing (Fig.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS 6. Tighten the two housing nuts. Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the spindle and feed handles will become sluggish. NOTE: Adjustments for the correct function of your drill press return spring have been done by the factory. Please do not modify them. However, prolonged use of the drill press may make some readjustments necessary. ANGULAR “PLAY” OF THE SPINDLE (FIG.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE (FIG. 20) Always place a piece of backup material (Fig. 20 - 1) (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece (Fig. 20 - 2). This will prevent splintering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the material from spinning out of control, it must contact the left side (Fig. 20 - 3) of the column as illustrated, or be clamped (Fig. 20 - 4; not included) to the table.
OPERATION GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE WARNING: To prevent the workpiece and the backup material from slipping from your hand while drilling, position the 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 the workpiece and backup material to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury. 1.
OPERATION DEPTH SCALE METHOD (FIG. 21B) 1. Make sure the 0 (in or mm) mark on the depth gauge rests at the top edge of the metal support (Fig. 21B - 4) when the quill is fully retracted. 1 2. Put the workpiece on the table and raise the table until the tip of the drill bit just touches the top of the workpiece. Lock the table in place. 3 2 4 3. Determine the drill depth for this workpiece. Fig. 21B 4. Rotate the depth knob (Fig. 21B - 2) until it is aligned with the desired depth mark (Fig.
OPERATION DRILLING METAL • Use metal-piercing twist drill bits. • It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating of the drill bit. • All metal workpieces should be clamped down securely. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting causes a rough drill hole, and increases the potential of drill bit breakage. • Never hold a metal workpiece with your bare hands. The cutting edge of the drill bit may seize the workpiece and throw it, causing serious injury.
