OPERATION

MECHANICAL VARIABLE SPEED

This is a mechanical variable speed drill press. To increase or decrease

the speed when operating, raise or lower the speed handle (Fig. AA - 1).

Use the following table to determine the recommended speed for the

drill size you are using and the type of material you are to drill. While

drilling, check the speed on the digital speed readout (Fig. AA - 2)

located at the front of the drill press.

WARNING: Do not change speeds using the variable speed handle

without turning on the machine.

Recommended speed for drill bit size and materials

WARNING: For your safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power supply before maintaining

or lubricating the drill press.

Vacuum sawdust or metal shavings that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.

Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the

spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.

Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.

CAUTION: All servicing of the drill press should be performed by a qualified service technician.

FEEDING THE DRILL BIT

• Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.

• Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the drill bit.

• Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.
