USING THE FENCE (FIG. V)

The fence provides a way of accurately and quickly setting up the workpiece for precision or for repitive drilling operations.

1.Using a centerpunch or sharp nail, make an indentation in the workpiece where you want to dril!.

2.Align the laser lines (x) with the indentation on the workpiece.

3.Loosen the knobs (1) and slide the fence back stop (2) firmly against the long side of the workpiece. Tighten the knobs when in position.

4.Loosen the wing nut (3) and slide the end stop (4) along the fence until it is firmly against the left side of the workpiece. Tighten the wing nut.

5.Check the accuracy by drilling into a scrap workpiece first. Adjust if needed.

6.Hold with your hand or clamp the top surface of the workpiece firmly to prevent it from lifting off the table when the bit is raised.

DRILLING TO A SPECtFJC DEPTH

Drilling a blind hole (not all the way through workpiece) to a given depth can be done two ways:

Workpieee method (Fig. W and X}

1.Mark the depth (1) of the hole on the side of the workpiece (Fig. W).

2.With the switch "OFF", bring the drill bit (2) down until the tip is even with the mark (Fig. W)

3.Hold the feed handle at this position.

4.Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop lug (6) on the head (Fig. X).

5.Spin the upper nut (5) down and tighten against the lower nut (3) (Fig. X).

6.The drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance marked on the workpiece.

Depth seete method (Fig. X)

Note: With the chuck in the upper position, the tip of the drill bit must be just slightly above the top of the workpiece.

1.With the switch "OFF", turn the feed handle until the pointer (7) points to the desired depth on the depth scale (4) and hold the feed handle in that position.

2.Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop lug (6)_

3.Spin the upper nut (5) against against the lower stop nut and tighten.

4.The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected on the depth scale.

Drill m hole

Using a center punch or a sharp na{I, make an indentation in the workpiece where you want to drill. Turn on the laser assembly and align the laser lines (x) with the indentation. Turn the power switch on and pul! down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the dril! to cut.

FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY might cause the belt or drill to slip, tear the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. When driI!{ng metal, it will be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill bit with metal drilling oil to prevent it from overheating.
