SAFETY

Table Adjustment

The table is capable of moving in four directions.

1.Raise or lower the table by slackening off the arm locking handle (A) and turning the crank (C), clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower.

2.Swivel the table about the column by slackening off the arm locking handle. The table assembly, arm and rack (B), move as one around the column.

3.Tilt the table by slackening the Bevel Table Locking Screw (E), and tilting to the required angle.

A scale (F) is provided on the arm measured in degrees, to assist in setting the required angle. For all normal operations the

table should be set at 0°.

4.TO ENSURE THAT THE DRILL IS ENTIRELY PERPENDICULAR TO THE TABLE, insert a piece of straight round bar in the chuck, place a square on the table and bring it up to the round bar. Adjust the table tilt if necessary so that the table is correctly aligned.

5.Turn the table about its axis, by slackening off clamp (D).

2.Slacken off the locking screw and turn the collar so that the measurement for the depth of the hole required is in line with the pointer (C).
