FEEDING
Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to
cut. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill to burn...feeding too
rapidly might stop the motor...cause the belt or drill to slip... tear the
workpiece loose or break the drill bit.
HOLE LOCATION
Make an indentation in the workpiece where you want the the
hole...using a centre punch or a sharp nail. Before turning the switch ON,
bring the drill down to the workpiece, lining it up with the hole location.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE (FIG.16)
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of the drill is just
a little above the top of the workpiece. Always place a piece of back-up
material (wood, plywood) on the table underneath the workpiece. This
will prevent splintering or making a heavy burr on the underside of the
workpiece as the drill breaks through. To keep the back-up material from
spinning out of control, it must come in contact with the left side of the
column, as illustrated.
WARNING! To prevent the workpiece or the back-up material from
being torn from your hand while drilling, position them against the left
side of the column. If the workpiece or the back-up material are not not
long enough to reach the column, clamp them to the table. Failure to do
this could result in personal injury.
DRILLING TO DEPTH (FIG.17)
There are two ways of drilling a blind hole (not all the way through) to a
given depth.
1. Mark the depth of the hole on the side of the workpiece.
2. With the switch in the OFF position, bring the drill down until the tip
or lips are even with the mark.
3. Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop lug on the head.
4. Spin the upper nut down and tighten against the lower nut.
TILTING THE TABLE (FIG.18)
To use the table in a bevel position, loosen the bevel lock bolt with an
adjustable wrench.Tilt the table to the desired angle by reading the bevel
scale. Retighten the bevel lock bolt.
