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. 15. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the drill is operating. 2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of drill presses, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person. 16. BE SURE drill bit or cutting tool is not damaged and is properly locked in the chuck before operating. 3.
CONNECTING DRILL PRESS TO POWER SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
EXTENSION CORDS GROUNDED OUTLET BOX Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-pole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the drill press and all loose items from the carton. 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 column (A) Fig. 2, to base (B) using four M-12 x 45mm long hex head screws (three of which are shown at [C]).
3. Assemble worm gear (J) Fig. 4, to the inside of hole (K) in table bracket (H). 4. Thread table lock lever (M) Fig. 4, into hole in table bracket, as shown. M K H J Fig. 4 5. Place raising rack (E) Fig. 5, in position inside table bracket (H) making sure gear on inside of table bracket is engaged with teeth of raising rack. H E Fig. 5 6. Slide table bracket (H) Fig. 6, with raising rack (E) onto column (A), as shown. E 7. Engage bottom of rack (E) Fig. 6, with flange (L) on column.
. Reassemble collar (D) Fig. 7, which was removed in STEP 1, to column. IMPORTANT: Bottom of collar (D) MUST NOT be pushed all the way down onto top of raising rack (E). MAKE SURE top of raising rack (E) is under bottom of collar (D) and that there is enough clearance to allow rack (E) to rotate around the column. Then tighten set screw (Q) being careful not to overtighten. D E Q Fig. 7 G F H S 9. Assemble table (G) Fig. 8, to table bracket (H) using bolt (F).
Z R Fig. 11 Fig. 12 11. Place the drill press head on column, as shown. Line up head with base and tighten two head locking screws (R) Fig. 11. T V 12. Thread the three pinion wheel handles (Z) Fig. 12, into the three threaded holes in the pinion shaft, as shown. U 13. Make certain the tapered hole in the bottom of the spindle (T) Fig.
FASTENING DRILL PRESS BASE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE PERMANENT MOUNTING If your drill press is to be used in one permanent location, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface with fasteners through the four mounting holes, (A) Fig. 16, in the drill press base. A Fig.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS START/STOP SWITCH The switch is located on the front of the drill press head. To start the machine, press the start button (A) Fig. 23, and to stop the machine, press the stop button (B). A B LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position using a padlock (C) Fig. 24, (with 3/16 diameter shackle) through the two holes in the switch plate, as shown in Fig. 24.
DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH A D C Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, a depth stop is provided in the pinion shaft housing (A) Fig. 27, and is used as follows: 1. Loosen lock lever (B) Fig. 27, and rotate housing (A) until the pointer (C) lines up with the depth indicated on the English/Metric scale (D) that you want the spindle to lower. Then tighten lock lever (B). B 2. The spindle will then lower to the exact depth as indicated on the scale (D) Fig. 27 Fig.
REMOVING CHUCK AND SPINDLE ADAPTER B A If you desire to remove the chuck and spindle adapter, lower spindle and rotate chuck until the slot in the spindle lines up with the slot in the quill, as shown in Fig. 31. Then insert tapered end of drift bar (A) into slot (B) in quill and remove chuck and spindle adapter. Fig. 31 OPERATION Your Drill Press should be used with drill bits 5/8² or less in diameter.
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.
