Auto-Feed
This drill press comes with automatic downfeed
control for repeated drilling operations at the
same depth. The automatic downfeed only works
in the drilling mode.
Stay clear of coarse downfeed handles while
using automatic downfeed. When depth
stop triggers lower elevation limit switch,
handles spin rapidly as spindle returns to
its starting position. Failure to stay clear of
handles may result in injury.

ing" mode.
