GENERAL SAFETY RULES FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning the machine’s application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury. 2. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR FOR DRILL PRESSES FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
POWER CONNECTIONS A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. 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 matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug.
3. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive: If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C, the machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. C. Make sure the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this machine.
UNPACKING AND CLEANING Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax. NOTICE: THE MANUAL COVER PHOTO ILLUSTRATES THE CURRENT PRODUCTION MODEL.
ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. 1. If your drill press is to be used in a permanent location, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface with fasteners through the two mounting holes, (A) Fig. 3, in the drill press base.
6. Assemble the column (A) Fig. 6, to the base (B) using the four M10x40mm hex head screws (C), three of which are shown. A C C B Fig. 6 7. Assemble table raising and lowering handle (D) Fig. 7, to worm gear shaft (E) and tighten screw (F) against flat on shaft with 3mm wrench supplied. F E D Fig. 7 8. Thread table clamp handle (G) Fig. 8, into hole in rear of table bracket, as shown. G Fig.
9. Insert table (H) Fig. 9, into hole in table bracket as shown. H Fig. 9 10. Thread table locking lever (J) Fig. 10, into hole in front of table bracket as shown. 11. Place the drill press head (K) Fig. 11, onto the column as far as it will go. Align head (K) Fig. 12, with table (L) Fig. 12, and base (M) Fig. 12, and tighten the two head locking screws (N) Fig. 11 with the 5mm wrench supplied. J Fig. 10 12. IMPORTANT: Make certain the tapered hole in the bottom of spindle (T) Fig.
14. IMPORTANT: Make certain the spindle taper (O) Fig. 14, and tapered hole in chuck (P) are clean and free of any grease, lacquer or rust preventive coatings. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can effectively remove any substance from the chuck; however, carefully follow the manufacturer's safety rules concerning its use. O P 15. IMPORTANT: OPEN THE CHUCK JAWS AS WIDE AS POSSIBLE MAKING SURE THE CHUCK JAWS ARE INSIDE THE CHUCK. Fig. 14 16.
18. Align the two holes in the lamp bracket (A) Fig. 17, with the two holes (B) on the side of the drill press head. A 19. Place the cord bushing (C) Fig. 17, around the top of the lamp cord (D). B C D Fig. 17 20. Align the two holes in the lamp cord bracket (F) Fig. 18 with the two holes in the lamp bracket (A) and drill press head. A F 21. Place a 1/4" washer onto a M6x1x12mm cap head screw. Insert the screw (G) Fig.
OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS STARTING AND STOPPING DRILL PRESS The switch (A) Fig. 20, is located on the front of the drill press head. To turn the drill press “ON” move the switch up to the “ON” position. To turn the drill press “OFF” move the switch down to the “OFF” position. A Fig. 20 LOCKING SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use.
3. The table can be tilted right or left by pulling out and removing table alignment pin (C) Fig. 24. NOTE: If pin (C) is difficult to remove, turn nut (E) clockwise to pull pin out of casting. C E Fig. 24 4. Fig. 25, illustrates the table alignment pin (C) 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 (C). This will position the table surface at 90 degrees to the spindle. C D Fig.
SPINDLE SPEEDS Twelve spindle speeds are available on the drill press. Fig. 27, illustrates which steps of the pulleys the belts must be placed to obtain the twelve speeds available.

DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, a depth stop is provided and is used as follows: B DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. D 1. Install bit in chuck. 2. Loosen lock screw (A) Fig. 29, and rotate pinion assembly (B) until the pointer (C) lines up with the mark on the scale (D) you wish the depth of the holes to be drilled. Then tighten lock screw (A). A C 3. Place the material to be drilled on the drill press table.
OPERATIONS Your drill press is to be used with drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in diameter. The following will give the inexperienced operator a start on common drill press operations. Use scrap material for practice to get a feel of the machine before attempting regular work. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may result in risk of injury.
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 flat 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.
