INSTALLING CHUCK, HEAD ASSEMBLY, AND FEED HANDLES See Figures 9 - 11. n Place the head assembly upside down on a level, flat surface. n Position chuck on spindle. Chuck should be fully opened to avoid damaging jaws. n Using a piece of scrap wood to protect the chuck, firmly tap the chuck into place using a mallet or hammer.

Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates n Drilling in metals POWER SWITCH See Figure 16. The drill press is equipped with a power switch that has a built-in locking feature. This feature is intended to prevent unauthorized and possible hazardous use by children and others.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the open- ing is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. n Insert drill bit into the chuck the full length of the jaws. WARNING: Do not insert drill bit into chuck jaws and tighten as shown in figure 19.
This will automatically raise the chuck and bit. DRILLING TIPS n If a large hole is needed, it’s a good idea to drill a smaller pilot hole before drilling the final one. Your hole will be more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last longer.
ADJUSTING TABLE BEVEL See Figures 22 - 23. The drill press is equipped with a tilting table that allows you to drill angled holes. The table can be tilted left or right, from 0º to 45º. To tilt the table: n Loosen the large hex bolt located underneath the table.
The spindle speed is determined by the location of the belt on the pulleys inside the head assembly. The speed chart located on the cover inside the head assembly shows the recommended speed and pulley configuration for each drill- DRIVE ing operation.
After using the drill press, clean it completely and lubricate all sliding and moving parts. Apply a light coat of automotive- type paste wax to the table and column to help keep the surfaces clean.
Speeds in the Adjustments section of this manual. Retract bit frequently to clear chips. Sharpen or replace bit. Feed fast enough; allow drill to cut. Lubricate bit for metal work. Replace bit. Install bit properly. Install chuck properly. Contact authorized service center.
