POSITIONING THE
TABLE AND WORKPtECE
(FIG. AA AND BB)
1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so
the tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place a BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)
on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of
the workpiece. To keep the back-up material from
spinning, it MUST be positioned against the LEFT
side of the column.
3. For a small piece that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory).
[ WARNING I
To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being
thrown while drilling, you MUST position the workpiece
against the LEFT side of the column. If the workpiece
or the backup material is not long enough to reach
the column, clamp them to the table, or use the fence
provided with the drift press to brace the workpiece.
Failure to secure the workpiece could result in personal
injury.

[_WARNING I
A dritl press vise MUST be clamped or bolted to the
table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or
damaged vise or bit parts.
Remove the drill press fence when it interferes with
other dril! press accessories.

HOLDING A DRILLING LOCATION
I. Usinga centerpunch or sharp nail, m ake an
indentation intheworkpieoewhere you will b e
drilling.
2. Turn the laser "ON" and align the laser lines (x) with
the indentation before turning the drill ON.
TILTING THE TABLE (FIG. CO)
NOTE: The table arm and support (1) has a predrilled
hole with a locking pin inserted for locking the table into
a predrilled 0 ° bevel angle.
1. TIGHTEN the nut (2) on the locking pin using a
10mm or adjustable wrench clockwise to RELEASE
it from the table support.
2. Loosen the large hex head table bevel locking bolt (3)
using a 17ram or adjustable wrench.

3. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement
to the zero line opposite the scale (4).
4. Tighten the table bevel locking bolt (3).
5. To return the table to its origina! position, loosen the
table bevel locking bolt (3). Return the table (1) to the
0° position.
6. Return nut (2) on locking pin to the OUTSIDE END
OF THREADS. Gently tap locking pin until it is
seated in the mating hole of the table bracket. Hand
tighten nut (2).
IAWARN N¢I
To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage,
always clamp workpiece and backup material securely
to the table before operating the drilI press.
FEEDING
1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to
allow the drift bit to cut.
2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to
slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit.
3. When drilling meta!, it is necessary to lubricate the
drill bit tip with oil to prevent burning of the workpiece
and bit.
