INSTALLATION

NOTE: All guards and instruction plates are in-
stalled for your safety and information and must
remain on the machine as shipped from the fac-
tory.

Uncrating the Paper Drill

Unless otherwise specified, this machine is shipped in
a cardboard container with the cutting stick knockout,
backgage, and table removed. These items are packed
separately. The machine should be unpacked carefully
so as not to damage any of the machine parts.
Immediately after uncrating, check off parts received
against the packing list. Also, examine for any physical
signs of damage incurred during shipment. The
machine is inspected before and after crating at the
factory. The responsibility for filing a claim against the
carrier for damages incurred during shipment rests with
the receiver of the goods (FOB our factory).
The machine is held in place on its shipping skid by
means of wooden blocks. Remove these blocks and
then carefully position the machine on the floor.
Clean all parts with a commercial cleaning solvent (such
as C.R.C.) before installing or using the machine.

Installing the Table

The table is held in place with four socket head machine
screws and washers provided. Simply position the
table, line up the holes, and tighten the screws.

Installing the Backgage

To install the backgage you must first remove the
pressure foot assembly (held in place with two knurled
screws). While facing the front of the machine, hold
the backgage with the opening toward you and slip it
on the front of the table. Then slide the gage back on
the table and fasten to the table with the two thumb
screws provided.

Installing the Table Height Adjustment Rod

First remove the back cover. Then, with the spring
plunger out of the adjustment rod, turn the adjustment
rod on the threaded rod until approximately 1" (2 cm)
of thread are engaged. Next, install the spring plunger
by turning it in all the way, then turn back 1/4 to 1/2
turn (see fig. 2).

Starting the Machine

The power for this machine is supplied by a single motor
