6.0 Operating Instructions

The power for this machine is supplied by a single motor, which directly drives the spindle. It is

started and stopped by a toggle type switch located on the bottom of the motor. The "on" and "off"

position is so indicated. Be sure that the motor is operating before trying to drill paper.

Do not reach under pressure foot or drill area. Allow machine to stop

before changing drills.

First, be sure that the motor is on. Pulling the lever toward you brings the drill down through the lift of

stock. After the drill reaches the bottom of its stroke, return the lever slowly to its top position.

By releasing the downward pressure on the lever, the operator can stop the drill in its down-stroke

allowing it to return to the normal up position, preventing costly errors.

First set the rear gage to the desired back margin. Be sure both sides are set to the same dimension

and tighten the thumbscrew. Next, loosen the setscrews that hold the stops in place and slide the

stops to the desired distance between holes (a scale in the backgauge is provided for this purpose).

The first stop is always set for the distance from the edge of the sheet to the center of the first hole.

The side guide comes equipped with three stops. Additional stops can be purchased at a very

nominal price.

Bring the side guide to the right past the first stop, then back to the left until the latch is in contact with

the first stop. After drilling the first hole, trip the latch and move the guide into contact with the second

stop and at the same time move the pile of stock against the guide with the right hand. Continue this

same procedure for all stops being used.
