Inverter Speed Control - Models 2232AC and 2234AC Spindle On Pushbutton Switch The SPINDLE ON pushbutton (green) is used to start the drive motor. To stop the motor, the pushbutton is pressed (the switch toggles on and off). Emergency Stop Pushbutton Switch The mushroom-shaped EMG.
AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF INADVERTENT OPERATION AND EXPOSURE TO POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE LEVELS. Manual Speed Control - Models 2221VS and 2223VS 1. Start drill press. Set speed control to highest speed. Stop drill press. 2. Disconnect electrical power by setting drill press circuit breaker to OFF.
Inverter Speed Control - Models 2232AC and 2234AC Spindle pulley drive: Lubricate spindle splines occasionally with light grease. Quill and column: Lubricate with light film of oil. Lift rack: Lubricate regularly with SAE 20 oil (clean rack with kerosene before applying oil). Variable speed drive: Periodically check oil level in sight gauge on (left side of head) (refer to Figure 6).

Operating Precautions The following operating and safety precautions must be observed in order to avoid harm to the operator or damage to the drill press. The head assembly must be locked to the column so the thrust produced by drilling will not force the head assembly up the column.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Spindle does not turn. 1. Motor overload protector tripped. 2. Circuit breaker tripped. 3. Branch circuit breaker tripped or fuse blown. 4. Open wire in switch circuit. 5. Defective switch. 6. Broken drive belt. Spindle noisy. 1.
Optional Equipment Coolant System Installation 1. Remove the large reservoir cover plate from the machine base. Tap 1/4-20 threads in the 4 pilot holes. Install the cover plate back onto the machine base. 2. Insert the pump into the opening, utilize the screws from the small round cover plate to fasten the pump to the base.
Separate exploded views and parts listings are provided for the drill heads for manual speed control drill presses (Models 2221VS and 2223VS) and the inverter speed control drill presses (Models 2232AC and 2234AC). The exploded view and parts listing for the drill press spindle components, and the table, base, and column apply to all models.
