OPERATIONS OPERATIONAL 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 MAKE SURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE, MOVE THE SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION. AN ACCIDENTAL START-UP CAN CAUSE INJURY. Fig.
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.

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.
MACHINE USE 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.
