SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES 1. DO NOT operate your drill press until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. 14. BE SURE drill bit or cutting tool is not damaged and is properly locked in the chuck before operating. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 15. MAKE SURE chuck key is removed from chuck before starting drill press.
UNPACKING Your drill press is shipped complete in one container. Carefully unpack the drill press and all loose items from the container. Figure 2 illustrates the drill press and all loose items supplied with the machine. WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE DRILL PRESS TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. 1 5 2 6 4 7 10 8 3 9 Fig.
CLEANING Remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the drill press and all loose items. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene. DO NOT use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose. ASSEMBLING THE DRILL PRESS 1. Assemble the column (A) Fig. 3, to drill press base (B) as shown, using the three 20mm (3/4" long) hex head cap screws (C). A B C C Fig. 3 2. Assemble the table (D) Fig. 4, to drill press column (A) as shown. A D Fig. 4 3.
4. Place the drill press head (F) Fig. 6, onto the column (A) as far as it will go. Align head to table and base and tighten the two head locking screws (G) with wrench supplied. G F A Fig. 6 5. Thread the three pinion shaft handles (H) Fig. 7, into the three holes located in the pinion shaft (J) as shown. H J H Fig. 7 6. IMPORTANT: The spindle taper (K) Fig. 8, and the tapered hole (L) in the chuck (M) are coated with a clear rust protectant and will require a solvent to remove the coating.
A Fig. 10 FASTENING DRILL PRESS TO SUPPORTING SURFACE If during operation there is any tendency for the drill press to tip over, slide or walk on the supporting surface, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface with fasteners through the two holes (A) Fig. 10, located in the drill press base. CONNECTING DRILL PRESS TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS Your drill press is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 1725 RPM. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
SPINDLE SPEEDS Five spindle speeds of 620, 1100, 1720, 2340 and 3100 RPM are available with your drill press. The highest speed is obtained when the belt is on the largest step of the motor pulley and the smallest step of the spindle pulley, as shown in Fig. 14. Fig. 14, illustrates which step of the motor and spindle pulley the belt must be placed to obtain the five speeds available. SPINDLE MOTOR 3100 2340 1720 1100 620 Fig.
SWITCH The switch (A) Fig. 18, is located on the front of the drill press head. To turn the drill press “ON” move the switch to the up position. To turn the drill press “OFF” move the switch to the down position. A Fig. 18 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use of the tool. To lock the switch in the “OFF” position, grasp the switch toggle (B) and pull it out of the switch, as shown in Fig. 19.
3. Fig. 22, illustrates the table alignment pin (B) removed. Loosen table locking bolt (D), tilt table to the desired angle and tighten bolt (D). When returning table to the level position, replace table alignment pin (B). This will automatically position the table surface at 90 degrees to the spindle. B D Fig. 22 4. A tilt scale (E) Fig. 23, is provided on the table bracket casting to indicate the degree of tilt.
DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH B A Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, the stop nuts on the threaded stop rod are used as follows: 1. Lower the spindle until the pointer (A) Fig. 25, lines up with the mark on the scale (B) you wish the depth to be. Then thread the lower stop nut (C) down to contact the depth stop (D) on the side of the head. Return the spindle to the up position and tighten the upper stop nut (E) against the lower stop nut (C). E C D Fig. 25 2.
CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operations are: material, size of hole, type of drill or other cutter, and quality of cut desired. The smaller the drill, the greater the RPM required. When drilling in soft materials, use a higher speed than what would be used for harder materials. DRILLING METAL Use clamps to hold the work when drilling in metal.
