GENERAL SAFETY RULES 14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool. 15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. 17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR DRILL PRESS 10. Always stop the drill before removing scrap pieces from the table. 11. Use clamps or a vise to secure a workpiece to the table. This will prevent the workpiece from rotating with the drill bit. 12. Do not wear gloves when operating a drill press. 13. Set the drill press to the speed that is appropriate for the material being drilled. 14.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION GUIDELINES FOR USING 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS UNPACKING Unpack the drill press and all of its parts. Compare against the list below. Do not discard the carton or any packaging until the drill press is completely assembled. To protect the drill press from moisture, a protective coating has been applied to the machine’s surfaces. Remove this coating with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or WD-40®. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to clean. Apply a coat of good paste wax to the table and column.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS ATTACHING COLUMN ASSEMBLY TO BASE 1. Place the column tube on the base, aligning the column support holes to the base holes. 2. Install a hex head bolt in each column support hole and tighten bolts using the adjustable wrench. ATTACHING TABLE TO COLUMN 1. Loosen set screw in rack collar and remove the collar from the column. Fig. A 2. Remove the rack from the column. 3.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS DRILL PRESS HEAD TO COLUMN CAUTION: The drill press head is heavy. To avoid injury, two people should lift it into position. 1. Carefully lift the drill press head assembly and position it over the column (Fig. E). 2. Place the mounting opening on the drill press head over the top of the column. Make sure the drill press head is seated properly on the column. Fig. E 3. Align the direction of the drill press head with the direction of the base and the table. 4.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS MOUNT THE DRILL PRESS (Fig. H) The drill press must be securely fastened through the mounting holes to a stand or workbench with heavy-duty fasteners (Fig. H). This will prevent the drill press from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation. IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a tendency to move during operation, fasten the workbench securely to the floor.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS INSTALLING LASER BATTERIES (PRE-INSTALLED) 1. Turn off the drill laser. 2. Pull the tab located below the laser switch and lift up the laser switch cover. (Fig. K) 3. Install two AAA batteries into the battery slots and close the switch cover. (Fig. L) Fig. K Fig. L RAISE OR LOWER THE TABLE 1. Loosen the table locking handle and turn the crank handle until the table is at the desired height. (Fig. M) 2. Tighten the table locking handle before drilling.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS TILT THE TABLE 1. Loosen the hex lock bolt with a suitable socket wrench (located under the table, as shown in Fig. N). 2. Tilt the table to the desired angle, using the bevel scale (Fig. O) as a basic guide. 3. Re-tighten the bevel lock bolt. 4. To return the table to its original horizontal position, loosen the bevel lock bolt. 5. Realign the table to the 0° setting on the bevel scale. Fig. N 6. Tighten the bevel lock bolt with the wrench. Fig.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE LASER (Fig. S) WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Please observe all safety rules. • Never aim the beam at a person or an object other than the workpiece. • Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others. • Always make sure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece that does not possess reflective surfaces, as the laser beam could project into your eyes or the eyes of others. 2 1 Fig. S 1. Place a workpiece on the table. 2.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS REPLACING THE BELT WARNING: Disconnect the drill press from the power source before replacing the belt. Belt tension and drill press speed is controlled by automatic adjustments made to the diameter of the front spindle when the drive handle is moved. 1. Open the housing cover. Loosen the belt tension locking knob (Fig R). 2. Remove the belt from the housing cover if it is broken.
