5.13. Electric motor:
• For the product that comes with motor from the factory, the drill is supplied with an 110V or 220V electric
motor (single voltage).
• When operating in places with a voltage different from the indicated, use a voltage transformer (not supplied
with the product). Check the alignment of the pulleys and the belt tension before the first use (Figures 8.15
and 8.16).
5.14. Adjusting the spindle spring:
• Move the lock nuts to the lowest position, and lock them in this position with a tool. This will prevent the
spindle from falling when actuated by the spring
• Place the screw driver in the lower front slit (A) on the spring cover (B), and keep it in this position while
loosening and removing the nuts.
• Turn the screwdriver anti-clockwise carefully and fit the next slit.
• Tighten the lower nut (C) with the tool.
• To increase tension on the spring: Move the lock nuts to the highest position and check the tension while
moving the handle.If there's not enough tension on the spring, repeat the steps above.
• Check the spindle when moving the handle. The movement of the spindle must be smooth, without restricted
movements. If the movement is too tight, loosen the nuts so that it moves without difficulty (Figure 8.17).
Note: Wear protective gloves when performing this adjustment.
5.15. Installing the drill bits:
• Insert the drill bit (not supplied with the product) around 30mm into the chuck jaws. When using small drill
bits, do not insert them deep enough to cause the jaws to touch the flutes.
• Make sure the drill bit is centered in the chuck before tighening it with the chuck key (Figure 8.18).
5.16. Positioning the workpiece:
• Always use a piece of wood, securing it firmly on the table. It will prevent the shattering or the presence of
barbs under the workpiece when the drill bit goes through it.
• The wood must be in contact with the left side of the column (Figure 8.19).
5.17. Installing a bench vise on the drill
• Use a bench vise (does not come with the product) on the drill for very little workpieces that can't be fixed
on the table.
• The bench vise must be fixed on the table/base with clamps or bolts.
