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 possiblity of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
23. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. 27. WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other·masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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 2 4 7 12 3 6 8 5 9 10 11 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 the base (B) using the four screws, three of which are shown at(C). Loosen set screw (D) and remove ring (E) and raising rack (F). A D E F C B 2. Make certain worm gear (G) Figs.
F 4. Slide raising rack (F) Fig. 7, table and table bracket onto drill press column, as shown. Make sure bottom of raising rack (F) Fig. 8, is engaged with flange (J) on drill press base. Fig. 7 F J 5. Re-assemble ring (E) Fig. 9, which was removed in STEP 1. IMPORTANT: Bottom of ring (E) MUST NOT be pushed all the way down onto top of raising rack (F). MAKE SURE top of raising rack (F) is under bottom of ring (E) and that there is enough clearance to allow rack (F) to rotate around the column.
. Figure 11, illustrates the table raising and lowering handle (K) assembled to worm gear shaft (G). G K Fig. 11 8. Thread table clamp (M) Fig. 12, into hole in rear of table bracket, as shown. M Fig. 12 9. Place the drill press head (N) Fig. 13, onto the column as far as it will go. Line up drill press head with base and tighten two screws (0) with wrench provided. N O Fig. 13 10. Thread the three pinion shaft handles (P) Fig. 14, into the three tapped holes located in the pinion shaft, as shown.
11. IMPORTANT: Make certain the spindle taper (Q) Fig. 15, and tapered hole in chuck (R) are clean and free of any grease, lacquer or rust preventive coatings. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can effectively remove any substance from the spindle and chuck; however, carefully follow the manufacturer's safety rules concerning its use. Q R 12. IMPORTANT: OPEN THE CHUCK JAWS AS WIDE AS POSSIBLE MAKING SURE THE CHUCK JAWS ARE UP INSIDE CHUCK. Fig. 15 13. Carefully drive chuck (S) Fig.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate 110-120 volt, grounded electrical circuit should be used for your drill press. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the drill press to the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately by a certified electrician to avoid electrical shock or fire hazard.
GROUNDED OUTLET BOX CURRENT CARRYING PRONGS This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 19. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. 20, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown in Fig. 20, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION A D 1. Disconnect the drill press from the power source. 2. Lift up the belt and pulley guard (A) Fig. 23. 3. Release belt tension by loosening tension lock knob (B) Fig. 23, and pivoting the motor toward the front of the drill press, as shown. C B Fig. 23 4. While holding the motor toward the front of the drill press head, position the belt (C) on the desired steps of the motor and spindle pulleys, as shown in Fig. 23.
A TABLE ADJUSTMENTS Fig. 27 1. The table can be raised or lowered on the drill press column by loosening the table clamp handle (A) Fig. 27, and turning the table raising and lowering handle (B) Fig. 28. After the table is at the desired height, tighten handle (A) Fig. 27. NOTE: Final positioning of the drill press table should always be from the bottom to the up position. B 2. The table can be rotated 360 degrees on the column by loosening clamp handle (A) Fig.
DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH B Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, a depth stop is provided in the pinion shaft housing and is used as follows: D 1. Loosen lock screw (A) Fig. 32, and rotate housing (B) until the pointer (C) lines up with the desired depth indicated on scale (D). Then tighten lock screw (A). C 2. All holes will then be drilled to the exact depth as indicated on scale (D) Fig. 32. NOTE: Scale (D) is calibrated in both inches and millimeters. A Fig.
BORING IN WOOD Twist drills, although intended for metal drilling, may also be used for boring holes in wood. However, machine spur bits are generally preferred for working in wood; they cut a square bottom hole and are designed for removal of wood chips. Do not use hand bits which have a screw tip; at drill press speeds they turn into the wood so rapidly as to lift the work off the table and whirl it. For through boring, line up the table so that the bit will enter the center hole to avoid damage.
