- loosen the set screw in the rack collar H to remove the
rack collar H and the rack AM
- insert the table support lock handle K into the threaded
hole at the rear of the table support 9
- insert the rack AM into the geared groove of the table
support with the arrow on one end of the rack AM
pointing up and the teeth on the rack AM facing out q
- make sure the worm shaft AP on the inside of the table
support is engaged with the teeth of the rack AM, and
the table support sit at the centre of the rack AM w
- slide the assembled parts down together onto the
column, and insert the bottom edge of the rack AM into
the lip of the column support V q
- install the collar H bevel side down over the rack AM
w
! make sure there is enough clearance to allow
the table to rotate around the column. The collar
must sit loosely over rack and not angled on the
column. To avoid column or collar damage, only
tighten the set screw enough to keep collar in
place
- insert the crank handle U onto the worm shaft AP, and
tighten it e
- position the table X in the same direction as the base
W, and tighten the table support lock handle K
- install the head assembly onto the top of the column,
align it with the base W and the table X, and tighten
the two set screws with the hex wrench AH
- assemble the feed handle T
! one or two of the feed handle rods may be
removed if an unusually shaped workpiece
interferes with handle rotation. It is recommended
to securely tighten the feed handle rods with an
adjustable wrench
- install the vice if necessary according to your work ya,

• Installing/removing the chuck
1. To install u:
- inspect and clean the spindle AQ and the taper hole in
the chuck G
- open the chuck jaws AW and fully recess them inside
the chuck G
- seat the chuck G on the spindle AQ by placing a block
of wood under the chuck and tapping the wooden
block with a hammer or rubber mallet
! to avoid damaging the chuck, make sure the jaws
are completely recessed into the chuck. Do not
use a metal hammer directly to drive the chuck
into the spindle
2. To remove i:
- lower the chuck G to the lowest position
- place two wedges (not included) between the chuck
G and the shoulder of the spindle and apply pressure
as the arrows in 18 indicate. Pressure needs to be
increased gradually and symmetrically
! to avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch
the chuck as it falls
• Mounting tool on working surface
If the bench drill is to be used in a permanent location,
secure it to a workbench or other stable surface. o
If the bench drill is to be used as a portable tool, fasten
it permanently to a mounting board that can easily
be clamped to a workbench or other stable surface.
t

p The mounting board should be of sufficient size
to avoid tipping while bench drill is in use. Any good
grade plywood or chipboard with a 19 mm thickness is
recommended.
- mark holes on surface where bench drill is to be
mounted using holes in bench drill base as a template
for hole pattern
- drill holes through mounting surface
- place bench drill on mounting surface, aligning holes
in the base with holes drilled in the mounting surface
- insert bolts (not included) and tighten them securely
with lock washers and hex nuts (not included)
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough
to go through holes in bench drill base and material the
bench drill is being mounted to. If machine bolts are
used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through
holes in bench drill, the material being mounted to, and
the lock washers and hex nuts.
! all bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside
of the workbench.
Once the bench drill is securely mounted on a sturdy
surface:
- check for vibration when the motor is switched ON
- adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as
necessary
- check the table assembly to assure smooth movement
up and down the column
- check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly
• Changing speeds and belt placement
The spindle speed is determined by the location of the
belt on the pulleys inside the head assembly. The speed
chart a located on the cover inside the head assembly
shows the recommended speed and pulley configuration
for each drilling operation.
To change the pulley configuration: s
- open pulley housing cover A
- loosen the tension lock knob S
- pull the motor AR as close to the bench drill head as
possible
- remove the belt AS
- reposition the belt according to the speed chart a
- retighten the tension lock knob S
• Spindle speeds
The spindle speed chart is provided inside the pulley
housing cover. See a.
• Align the belt pulleys
- check the alignment of the pulleys with a straight edge
(not included) d
- if the pulleys are NOT aligned, loosen the belt tension
lock knob S to release belt tension f
- loosen the two motor mount nuts AT, and lower or
raise the motor AR until the pulleys are aligned
! the height difference between the two pulleys
shall not exceed 1.6 mm.d
- tighten the motor mount nuts AT to maintain the
position f
- lock the motor AR for the proper belt tension and
tighten the tension lock knob
! never operate bench drill with pulley housing
cover open
