FOOT PEDAL
The foot pedal activates the movement of the work hold- down and the boring head carriage.
1.Pushing halfway down on foot pedal (A) Fig. 25, will lower the work holddown (B) Fig. 26, when set properly against the work surface as shown.
2.Once the workpiece is secure on the table, continue to push down on the foot pedal to activate forward movement of the boring head carriage (C) Fig. 26.
3.After the drilling operation is completed, slowly release foot pressure from the foot pedal (A) Fig. 25, to retract the work holddown (B) Fig. 26 and boring head carriage (C).
FASTENING FOOT PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE
During operation if there is any tendency for the foot pedal assembly (D) Fig. 25, to tip over, slide or “walk” across the floor surface, the foot pedal assembly (D) must be secured to a stationary support, such as a heavy wooden block or the floor through two mounting lugs (E), one of which is shown.
ADJUSTING
WORK HOLDDOWN
1.Make certain the machine is disconnected from the power source.
2.Place workpiece (A) Fig. 27, on the table close to, but not under, the work holddown (B).
3.Depress foot pedal halfway until work holddown (A) Fig. 27, is lowered as far as it will go. IMPORTANT: When set correctly, the work holddown (B) Fig. 28, should rest slightly below the surface of the workpiece
(A) but not contacting the drill bits (C).
4.If an adjustment is necessary loosen two carriage bolts (D) Fig. 29, and move holddown assembly (E) up or down as necessary. Tighten two bolts (D) Fig. 29, after adjustment is made. NOTE: Minor adjustments allowing for the workpiece, can be made by adjusting the table height.
