Adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop
A Drill Bit Depth Stop is provided to stop the Drill Bit forward motion.
Before adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop make certain your machine
is DISCONNECTED from the ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Without an electrical
supply you can be certain the machine will not accidentally engage
while you are performing this adjustment. The Depth Stop Adjusting
Screw should be adjusted so that the pilot point of the Drill Bit is just
slightly away from the Fence when the Motor Mount contacts the
head of the Depth Stop Adjusting Screw. Make sure the Depth Stop
Adjusting Screw is locked into position with the Depth Stop Lock Nut.
1. Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply.
2. Remove the Black Acrylic Top to gain access to the inside of
the machine.
3. Loosen the Depth Stop Lock Nut on the Depth Stop Adjusting
Screw. Turn the Depth Stop Adjusting Screw to the approximate
position.
4. Pull the Handle until the Drill Bit pilot point is slightly away
from the Fence.
5. Adjust the Depth Stop Adjusting Screw till the Head contacts the
Motor Mount.
6. Tighten the Lock Nut to lock the Depth Stop Adjusting Screw in
position.
7. Place the Black Acrylic Top back on the machine.
Adjusting the Clamping Pad Height
The Clamping Pad can be adjusted for material of different
thicknesses. The factory setting will clamp materials of approximate
thicknesses of 3/4". For materials thicker than 3/4", the Clamping
Pad will need to be moved upward to allow the material to locate
below the Clamp Pad. For materials less than 3/4" in thickness adjust
the Clamping Pad downward to a gap of 1/8" above the material.
Before adjusting the Clamping Pad make certain your machine is
DISCONNECTED from the ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. Without an electrical
supply you can be certain the Drill Bit will not accidentally rotate while
you are performing this adjustment.
1. Rotate the Brass Lock Nut away from the Adjustment Shaft and up
the Hold Down Bolt to free the rotation of the Adjustment Shaft.
2. Rotate the Adjustment Shaft up the Hold Down Bolt to allow a
1/8" gap above the material under the Clamping Pad.
3. Tighten the Brass Lock Nut against the Adjustment Shaft to
prevent the accidental movement during normal drilling operations.
Safety Switch
(Fig. 9C)
An automatic disconnect switch is provided to ensure that the Drill
Motor will not run while servicing the Electric FOREMAN. When the
Black Acrylic Top is removed the switch is open, disconnecting the
Drill Motor from the electrical supply. When the Black Acrylic Top is
placed back in position the Safety Switch is closed and the machine
will operate as normal. Although this switch is designed to remove
electrical power to the Drill Motor it is still highly recommended that
the Electric FOREMAN be disconnected from the electrical supply
when servicing the machine or making routine adjustments.
(Fig. 9A)
(Fig. 9B)
The Depth Stop Adjustment Screw limits travel
of the Drill Bit.
The Clamping Mechanism should be adjusted for an
1/8" gap prior to operation.
The Safety Switch will prevent the Electric Motor from
starting while the Black Acrylic Top is removed.
