your finger is poised on the paddle switch, just in
case there is a problem. Press the foot pedal to
activate the hold down clamp. The machine
should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or
rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises

General Info
Here are a few simple things you can do to
increase the predictability of your horizontal bor-
ing machine's performance:
1. Use the right bit for the job. Bits are the
screw-in type and are specifically made for
horizontal boring machines.
2. Never rush a drilling proceedure. Extra care
during set up will ensure satisfactory
results.
3. Maintain your horizontal boring machine in
top condition. See Section 7 of this manual
for maintenance procedures.
4. Always use a test piece of wood to check
your set up. Only when desired results are
achieved should you use your expensive
lumber.
Boring Bits
A horizontal boring machine bit requires proper
care.
1. Store the bits so their sharp points and flutes
are protected. A wooden or plastic box that
keeps bits from touching one another works
best.
2. Keep bits clean and rust free.
3. Have bits sharpened as soon as they show
any signs of dulling.
