the switch (2), and move the switch upward to the ON
position.
2.
To turn the drill press OFF, move the switch downward.
3.

ALWAYS lock the switch OFF when the drill press is not in use.
Remove the key and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a
power failure, blown fuse, or tripped circuit breaker, turn the
switch OFF and remove the key, preventing an accidental
startup when the power comes on.
INSTALLING
DRILL BIT IN CHUCK (FIG. P)
1.
With the switch OFF and the yellow switch key
removed, open the chuck jaws (1) using the chuck
key (2). Turn the chuck key counterclockwise
to open
the chuck jaws (1).
2.
Insert the drill bit (3) into the chuck far enough to obtain
maximum gripping by the jaws, but not far enough to
touch the spiral grooves (flutes) of the drill bit when the
jaws are tightened.
3.
Make sure that the drill is centered in the chuck,
4.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten the jaws.
To avoid injury or accident by the chuck key ejecting
forcibly from the chuck when the power is turned ON, use
only the self-ejecting chuck key supplied with this drill press.
ALWAYS recheck and remove the chuck key before turning
the power ON.

To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being torn
from your hands while drilling, you MUST position the
workpiece against the LEFT side of the column, tf the
workpiece or the backup material is not tong enough to reach
the column, damp it to the table, or use the fence provided with
the drill press to brace the workpiece. Failure to secure the
workpiece could result in personal injury.
USING THE FENCE (FIG. Q)
The fence provides a way of accurately and quickly setting
up the workpiece for more precision or for repetitive drilling
operations.
1.
Using the centerpunch or sharp nail, make an
indentation in the workpiece where you want to drill.
2.
Lower the drill bit to align with the indentation on the
workpiece. See "HOLDING A DRILLING LOCATION"
page 16.
3.
Loosen the knobs (1) and slide the fence back stop (2)
firmly against the long side of the workpiece. Tighten
the knobs when in position.
4.
Loosen the wing nut (3) and slide the end stop (4) along
the fence until it is firmly against the left side of the
workpiece. Tighten the wing nut.
5.
Check the accuracy by drilling a scrap workpiece.
Adjust if needed.
6.
Hold with your hand or clamp the top surface of the
workpiece firmly to prevent it from lifting off the table
when the bit is raised.

DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH (FIG. R)
Drilling a blind hole (not all the way through workpiece)
to a given depth can be done two ways:
Workpiece
method
1.
Mark the depth (1) of the hole on the side of the
workpiece.
2.
With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit down until the
tip is even with the mark.
3.
Hold the feed handle (2) at this position.
4.
Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop (4)
on the head.
5.
Spin the upper nut (5) down and Iighten against the
lower nut (3).
6.
The drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance
marked on the workpiece.
Depth scale method
NOTE: With the chuck up the tip of the drill bit must be
jLISt
slightly above the top of the workpiece.
t.
With the switch OFF, turn the feed handle (2) until the
depth stop (4) points to the desired depth on the depth
scale (6) and hold the feed handle in that position.
2.
Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth
stop (4).
3.
Spin the upper nut (5) against the lower nut (3) and
tighten.
4.
The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected
on the depth scale.
LOCKING THE CHUCK AT THE DESIRED DEPTH
(FIG. S)
1.
With the switch OFF, turn the feed handles until the
chuck (1) is at the desired depth. Hold the feed handles
at this position.
2.
Turn the stop nut (2), Iocated underthe depth stop (3),
counterclockwise
and upwards untit it is against the
depth stop.
3.
The chuck wilt now be held at this position when the
feed handles are released.

REMOVING CHUCK AND ARBOR (FIG. T)
!.
With the switch OFF:,adjust the depth stop nut (1) to
hold the drill at a depth of three inches. (See instructions
for "LOCKING CHUCK AT DESIRED DEPTH").
2.
Align the key holes in the spindle (2) and quill (3) by
rotating the chuck by hand.
3.
Insert the key wedge (4) into the key holes (2 & 3).
4.
Tap the key wedge (4) lightfy with a plastic tipped
hammer, until the chuck and arbor fall out of the
spindle.
NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it
when it falls out.
