Fitting tools to the drill chuck
Make sure that the power plug is removed from the
socket-outlet before changing tools.
Only cylindrical tools with the stipulated maximum shaft
diameter may be clamped in the drill chuck (5). Only
use a tool that is sharp and free of defects. Do not use
tools whose shaft is damaged or which are deformed
or flawed in any other way. Use only accessories and
attachments that are specified in the operating instruc-
tions or have been approved by the manufacturer.
Using the drill chuck
Your drill is equipped with a gear-toothed drill chuck (5).
In order to insert a drill bit, first fold the chuck guard (7)
up, then insert the drill bit and tighten the chuck (5) with
the chuck key (D) supplied.
Pull out the chuck key (D).
Ensure that the clamped tool is firmly seated.
m Important!
Do not leave the chuck key in the clamp hole.
Doing so will cause the chuck key to be catapulted out,
which could cause injury.
Depth scale method (Fig. 6)
Note: For this method, with the spindle in its upper po-
sition the tip of the drill bit must be just slightly above
the top of the workpiece.
1.
Switch off the machine, lower the drill so far until
the indicator points at the desired drilling depth of
the depth scale.
2.
Turn the lower nut (J2) to the hole (I) stop.
3.
Lock the top nut (J1) against the bottom nut (J2).
4.
The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped after
traveling downward the distance selected on the
depth scale.
Clamping the workpiece (Fig. 13, 14)
As a general rule, use a machine vice or another suit-
able clamping device to lock a workpiece into position.
Never hold the workpiece in place with your hand!
When drilling, the workpiece should be able to travel
on the drill table (3) for self-centering purposes. Ensure
that the workpiece cannot rotate. This is best achieved
by placing the workpiece/machine vice on a sturdy
block.
m Important!
Sheetmetal parts must be clamped in to prevent them
from being torn up. Properly set the height and angle
of the drill table for each workpiece. There must be
enough distance between the upper edge of the work-
piece and tip of the drill bit.
Positioning table and workpiece (Fig. 14)
Always place a piece of back up material ('wood, ply-
wood...) on the table undemeath the workpiece. This
wiII prevent splitering or making a heavy burr on the
underside of the workpieces as the drill bit breaks
through. To keep the back up material from spinning
out of control it must contact the left side of the column
as illustrated.
m Warning:
To prevent the workpiece or the backup material from
being torn from your hand while drilling, position them
to the left side of the column. If the workpiece or the
backup material are not long enough to reach the col-
umn, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this could
result in personal injury.
Note: For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise.
The vice must be clamp or bolt to the table to avoid
injury from spinning work and vise or tool breakage.
Mounting the machine vice on the drilling table
Fasten the machine vice using the screws, washers
and nuts provided, as shown in Fig. 13.
Using the laser (Fig. 15, 16)
Replacing the battery:
Switch off the laser. Remove the battery compartment cover
(13.2). Remove the batteries and replace with new batteries.
To switch on:
Move the ON/OFF switch (13.1) to the "I" position to
switch on the laser.
Two laser lines are projected on the workpiece and in-
tersect at the centre of the drill tip contact point.
To switch off:
Move the ON/OFF switch (13.1) to the "0" position.
Working speeds
Ensure that you drill at the proper speed. Drill speed is
dependent on the diameter of the drill bit and the ma-
terial in question.
