6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
p WARNING! Ensure the drill is unplugged from the mains power supply before commencing.
6.1.
Install drill bit
6.1.1.
Insert drill bit into chuck jaws to 1" (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and centre bit in chuck before tightening.
6.2.
Adjusting the table
6.2.1.
To adjust table up or down, loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B) then turn the bracket handle (fig.2.A).
6.2.2.
To adjust table tilt, loosen the work table bolt (fig.2.C), adjust to the desired angle using the angle scale, then retighten bolt.
6.2.3.
To turn the table around the column, loosen the rack collar slightly, then loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B).
Turn the table to the desired position then secure the bolt and the rack collar.
6.3.
Adjusting the speed
6.3.1.
Open the pulley case and loosen the belt tension lock screws (fig.6.A) - one either side of head.
6.3.2.
Choose the speed for drilling operation (see drill speed chart - Section 7) and move the belts to the
correct position for that speed, as shown on the chart inside the pulley cover.
6.4.
Belt tension

Use a piece of wood to rest the workpiece on. The drill bit may break through the workpiece and damage the table otherwise.
The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column, to prevent it spinning when the drill bit
breaks through the workpiece.
6.5.2.
For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.
6.6.
