Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Warning! Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.), Be sure voltage supplied is the same
as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Warning! For your own safety, do not operate your drill press
until it is completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions ... and until you have read and understood the following:
1. Safety Rules ......................................................................... 8 – 10
2. Motor Specifications ......................................................... 12 – 13
3. Getting To Know Your Drill Press ..................................... 16 – 17
4. Assembly and Adjustments .............................................. 18 – 29
5. Operation ............................................................................ 30 – 38
6. Maintaining Your Drill Press.............................................. 39 – 41
7. Troubleshooting ......................................................................... 42
8. Stability of the drill press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or move during any
use, bolt it to the bench top or to a piece of 19 mm (3/4") exterior
plywood large enough to stabilize the drill press. Bolt the plywood to
the underside of the base so it extends beyond the sides of the base.
Do not use pressed woods panels. They can break unexpectedly. If
the workpiece is too large to easily support with one hand, provide
an auxiliary support.
9. Location
Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and
smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where
neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line
with a potential kickback.
10. Protection: Eyes, hands, ears and body.
To avoid being pulled into the spinning tool – do not wear:
Loose fitting gloves, necktie, loose clothing, jewelry.
Do: tie back long hair,roll long sleeves above elbows.
a. If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunctioning, has
been damaged or broken ... such as the motor switch, or other
operating control, a safety device or the power cord ... cease
operating immediately until the particular part is properly
repaired or replaced.
b. Never place your fingers in a position where they could
contact the drill bit or other cutting tool if the workpiece should
unexpectedly shift or your hand should slip.
c. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring, follow the
instructions exactly as given and shown in "spindle return
spring" section on Page 29.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands,
spinning on the table, shattering the tool, or being thrown,
always support your work so it wonít shift or bind on the tool.
•
Always position ìbackup materialî (used beneath the work-
piece) to contact the left side of the column.
•
Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact the left
side of the column – if it is short or the table is tilted, clamp
solidly to the table. Use table slots or clamping ledge around
the outside edge of the table.
•
When using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table.
•
Never do any work "free hand" (hand holding a workpiece
rather than supporting it on the table), except when polishing.
•
Securely lock head and table support to column, and table to
table support before operating drill press.
•
Never move the head or table support while the tool is run-
ning.

•
Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to make
sure the drill bit or other cutting tool does not wobble or cause
vibration.
•
If a workpiece overhangs the table such that it will fall or tip if
not held, clamp it to the table or provide auxiliary support.
•
Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately hold, guide
and position the workpiece.
•
Use the spindle speed recommended for the specific opera-
tion and workpiece material ó check the panel inside the
pulley cover for drilling information; for accessories, refer to
the instructions provided with the accessories.
e. Never climb on the drill press table; it could break or pull the
entire drill press down on you.
f.
Turn the motor switch "off" and unplug from power source
when not in operation.
g. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do not
perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the
cutting tool is rotating.
h. Clamp workpiece or brace against column to prevent rotation.
i.
Before starting, be certain chuck key is removed from chuck
and that motor head and table are locked.
j.
Keep pulley cover closed when not making belt adjustments.
k. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
11. Use only accessories designed for this drill press to avoid
serious injury from thrown, broken parts or work pieces.
a. When cutting large diameter holes:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise the cutter
may grab and spin at high speed. Use only onepiece, cup-
type, hole cutters. do not use fly cutters or multi-part hole
cutters as they come apart or become unbalanced in use.
b. Drum sanders must never be operated on this drill press
at a speed greater than the speed rating of the drum
sander.
c. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 177,8 mm
(7") in length or extends 152,4 mm (6") below the chuck
jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle
(fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
e. Use recommended speed for drill accessory and work-
piece material.
f.
Accessories must be rated for at least the spindle speed
setting of the drill press. This drill press has 5 spindle
speeds. Check spindle speed setting of the drill press based
on pulley speed chart located inside the pulley housing.
Ensure accessories used has a higher speed rating than the
current spindle speed setting of the drill press. Accessories
running over its rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
12. Direction of feed for drum sanding.
Warning! Feed workpiece into a sanding drum or other
approved accessory, against the direction of rotation.
Warning! A kickback occurs when workpiece suddenly binds
on the cutting edge of the tool and the workpiece is thrown by
the cutter in the direction of the cutterís rotation. This can cause
serious injury.
13. Note and follow the safety warnings and instructions that
appear on the panel on the right side of the drill press head:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Wear safety goggles.
