Please read through the section entitled
illustration and parts description, to
identify the parts quickly and easily.
WARNING! THE DRILLHEAD IS A
HEAVY AND SUBSTANTIAL PIECE
OF MACHINERY, YOU ARE ADVISED
TO HAVE HELP TO LIFT IT CLEAR
OF THE BOx AND FIT IT TO THE
COLUMN.
For ED16SB ONLY (Motor Yoke Butterfly Clamps)
Place the drill head on upside down on the work
bench and remove the two Hex bolts (A) from
the drill head with a spanner, (see fig 1) place the
Hex bolts safely aside in readiness for mounting
the column to the base. Locate the two motor
yoke butterfly knobs (9) and screw them into the
threaded holes, (see fig 1)
Place the base (2) on the bench or (floor) and place
the mounting flange of the column (3) onto the
seating flange of the base, align the holes. Use the
four Hex bolts and plain washers secure the column
to the base (see fig 2). Loosen the socket grubs crew
holding the cup chamfered retaining collar to the
column (with the supplied Hex key), remove it and
the rise and fall rack, put aside (see fig 3).
Take the drill table mounting bracket arm (4) and
twist the worm drive shaft with your fingers such that
the whole shaft protrudes from the casting and the
worm gear itself is clear of the square recess in the
main body of the casting (see fig 4).
Locate and fit the crank handle (8) to the shaft,
ensuring that you tighten the grub screw onto the
machined flat on the shaft. This will keep the worm
gear in position (see figs 4-5). Pick up the rise and
fall gear rack, identify the top and the bottom, (the
rack gearing is cut asymmetrically, with the gear cut
extending closer to the bottom), make sure you have
the rack the right way up, as it will allow you to drive
the drill table up and down over its full range (see
fig 6).
Fit the rise and fall rack into the square recess in the
mounting body casting, ensure that it is engaged
with the pinion, (see figs 7-8) and lower the
combined mechanism over the column (3). Allow
it to slide down the column until the rise and fall
rack is located in the cup chamfer in the top of the
mounting flange (see figs 9-10). Replace the cup
chamfered retaining collar over the column and slide
it down onto the top of the rack. Lock it in place with
the grub screw, ensuring that it has captured the
upper end of the rack securely, but not too tight that
the rack can not be swivelled around the pillar (see
fig 3).
Check that the bracket can be driven up and down
the column and can swivel around the pillar. Locate
the Bristol clamping handle at the rear of the bracket
and tighten, (see fig 11) check it has 'pinched' up on
the column and the bracket is immobile; both in it's
up and down travel and swivel movement.
Fit the drill table (5), identify the Bristol clamping
handle at the front of the bracket and tighten, (see fig
12) check it has 'pinched' up on the drill table spigot
and the drill table is immobile.
CHECK the drill head, ensure that the two hex
socket grub screws that lock the head in place on
the column are withdrawn and will not foul on the
column (3) when the head is fitted (see fig 13). Put
the lower assembly you have just been working on
in the designated position, make sure it is stable
and lift the drillhead (1) over the column (3) and
let it drop into place (see fig 14). Set the drill head
approximately fore and aft and lock in position using
the two caphead grub screws mentioned earlier.
Check that the drillhead is immobile. Everything on
the drilling machine is now secured.
Once the drilling machine is correctly positioned and,
if necessary, fastened down; you can proceed with
the final assembly.
Locate the lever feed handle (6) and it's securing
screw, note the raised boss of the feed mechanism
and the spigot next to it (see fig 15). Mount the
handle over the boss and ensure the spigot hole in
the handle engages the spigot on the mechanism.
Secure with the supplied caphead bolt and washer
through the hole in the centre of the handle through
to the tapped hole in the mounting boss (see fig 16).
Locate the guard moulding, shield and Phillips screws
(7). Insert the shield into the guard moulding's recess
and line up the three pre-drilled holes and secure
with the Phillips screws (see fig 17-18).
