Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

3. TO ENSURE THAT THE DRILL IS ENTIRELY PERPENDICULAR TO THE TABLE, insert a straight round bar (not included) in the Chuck (76), place a square on the Table and bring it up to the round bar. Adjust the angle as needed.
   

To prevent injury from unexpected Table movement, tighten Angle Bolt and Lock Handle after adjustment.

Setting a Drilling Depth

Located on the left side of the Headstock is the depth feed adjustment assembly, which allows drilling a series of holes to the same depth using one setting.

1. Lower the drill (with the power OFF) so that it contacts the material and hold in that position.
2. Screw down the lower Adjustment Nut (65) on the Stop Rod (64) until the gap between the underside of the Nut and the Drill Stop face equals the depth of the hole required.
   
3. Screw down the upper Adjustment Nut against the lower Adjustment Nut to lock setting.

Note: Alternatively, drilling depth for a one-time procedure can be determined by lowering the drill (with the power OFF) until it contacts the work, noting the position of the Pointer (63) on the Scale, turning the drill ON, and drilling to the required depth using the Scale as a guide.

Changing Drill Speed

Before changing drill speeds, make sure the machine is switched OFF and UNPLUGGED.

1. Open the Pulley Cover.
2. Loosen the Motor Tension Knob (42) on the Headstock, and move the Motor (14) towards the Headstock to relieve tension on the V-Belt (45).
   
3. Consult the chart below and position the V-Belt on the Pulleys (2, 17) according to the desired drill speed.
4. When the Belt has been correctly positioned, tighten it by pushing the Motor away from the Headstock until the Belt deflects by approximately 1/2' at its center when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock this position in with the Motor Tension Knob.
   
   Belt Deflection

Note: If the belt is too long to be properly tensioned, it must be replaced.

The chart above shows the belt arrangements for given drill speeds.
A full chart is also located on the inside of the pulley cover.

Drill Bit Installation

1. Insert the drill bit into the jaws of the Chuck approximately 1', ensuring that the jaws do not touch the flutes of the drill bit.
2. Before tightening the Chuck, ensure that the drill bit is centered within the jaws.
3. Tighten the Chuck securely with the included Chuck Key.

Laser Alignment

1. Insert a small drill bit into the Chuck.
2. Place a piece of scrap wood on the table and mark an 'X' where the drill bit will contact.
3. Secure the workpiece to the table.
4. Turn on the Laser and verify the laser lines are aligned with the 'X' on the workpiece.
5. If the Laser lines are not aligned to the 'X', Loosen the Set Screws on each Laser Housing and rotate the Laser Adjustment Knobs until the Laser lines are aligned to the 'X'. Retighten the Set Screws.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Set the Table height and position so that the drill travel range is sufficient for the workpiece to be drilled.
6. Set the drilling depth so that the bit will not contact the table - or align the table so that the hole in its center is in line with the bit.
7. Make sure the work is securely clamped. That is, held in a drill vise, or bolted to the table.
   
   Do not hold the workpiece with your bare hands while drilling. Severe personal serious injury may be caused if the material is flung out of the operator's hand.
8. IF THE MATERIAL IS IRREGULARLY SHAPED and cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also increases the chances of damage to the drill.
9. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a wooden base and clamp it down firmly against the table to prevent it from turning.
10. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise. Make sure the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.
11. WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH WOOD, position a piece of scrap wood between the material and the table to prevent splintering on the underside of the material as the drill breaks through.
    The scrap piece of wood must make contact with the left side of the column. Securely clamp the other end of the scrap wood to the table. Also, set the depth of the drill so that the drill will not come in contact with the table - or align the table so that the hole in its center is in line with the drill bit.
    

General Operating Instructions

1. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the LED Lamp if extra light is needed.
3. Set workpiece on Table.
4. Turn on the Laser to mark where the hole is to be drilled. Make minor workpiece alignment adjustments.
5. Turn the Drill Press on.
6. Pull down on the Feed Handle and slowly drill the hole into the workpiece.
7. Turn Drill Press off by flipping Power Switch down.
8. To lock Drill Press in the OFF position, remove the safety key from Power Switch and store key in a safe place until next use.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: If the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece, do not attempt to stop the spinning with your hands. Step back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the spindle to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.

9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children's reach.
