Test Run | Mounting |
Once assembly is complete, you understand the safety instructions, and the work area is cleared of all tools, you are ready to test run the drill press and test the switch disabling key to make sure they function properly.
Wear safety glasses whenever starting or using machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
To test run the drill press:
1.Connect the drill press to the power source.
2.Pull up on the switch to turn the drill press ON. The drill press should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.
If you notice anything unsual about the drill press operation, turn if OFF and investigate and correct the issue before operating the machine further. If you cannot easily locate the source of a potential problem, refer to Troubleshooting on Page 19 or contact our Technical Support at (570)
3.Remove the switch key (yellow portion of the main switch), and try to turn the switch ON.
Once you have confirmed that your machine is running properly, mount it to a workbench, using the holes in the base as a guide.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the drill press to the workbench. Refer to the illustration in Figure 11 for details about this option.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag screw and washer. Refer to the illustration in Figure 12 for details about this option.
