Basic Drill Press Operation (continued)

Tilting Table

To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position, loosen the set screw under table bevel lock with hex “L” wrench. Loosen bevel lock bolt with the 24mm flat wrench (included).

Tilt table to desired angle by reading bevel scale. Retighten bevel lock and set screw.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to table before operating drill press with the table tilted.

To return table to original position: Loosen set screw and bevel lock, tilt table back to 0° on bevel scale and retighten set screw, then tighten bevel lock.

Hole Location

Make a dent in the workpiece where you want the hole, using a center punch or a sharp nail.

Before turning the switch on, bring the drill down to the workpiece lining it up with the hole location.

Feeding

Pull down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill to burn. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the belt or drill to slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit. When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with cutting oil or motor oil to prevent burning of the drill tip.
