LASER LINE ON/OFF SWITCHES (FIG. 18)
The laser switch (Fig. 18 - 1) is located on the left hand side of
the drill press.
1. Pull the tab located below the laser switch and lift up the
laser switch cover (Fig. 18 - 2).
2. Install two AA batteries into the battery slots and close the
switch cover.
POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Always place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood,
etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill
bit breaks through. To keep the material from spinning out
of control, it must contact the left side of the column, or be
clamped (not included) to the table.
NOTE: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be clamped or
bolted to the table to avoid injury.
DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE
WARNING: To prevent the workpiece and the backup material from slipping from your hand
while drilling, position the workpiece and backup material to the left side of the column. If the
workpiece and the backup material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp the workpiece
and back material to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury. (Fig. 19)
1. Mark where you want to drill the workpiece by using a center punch or a sharp nail. Turn ON the laser to
mark your drilling point.
2. Before turning the drill press ON, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up
with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the drill press and pull down on the feed handles with the appropriate force needed to allow the
drill bit to drill the material.
NOTE: Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. Feeding too rapidly might stop the
motor, cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with scrap material
to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any drilling operation.
