FITTING THE SAFETY CHAIN (FIG. 5)

Thread the provided safety chain (o) through the handle of unit and around the workpiece and secure in place.

WARNING: Always use the safety chain.

Inserting and Removing an

Accessory (fig. 6)

The tool holder (h) accepts annular cutters with a 19 mm shank with two flats.

1.Slide the pilot pin through the hole in the center of the cutter shank.

2.Push up on the quick-release collar (i).

3.Insert the cutter with pilot pin and turn until the flat meets the locking pin. When the flat meets the locking pin the collar will snap down.

4.Check that the cutter is securely held in the arbor.

5.Lift the collar (i) to release the cutter.

3-JAW CHUCK (FIG. 10)

A DEWALT 3-jaw chuck (y) can be installed using an adaptor (z) to fit the drill press for various bit sizes. Refer to Inserting and Removing an Accessory for installation instructions.

NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the motor position when chuck is installed. Please refer to Adjusting the Motor Height for instructions.

Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.

Setting the Speed (fig. 7)

WARNING: Do not change gears at full speed or during use.

The machine is equipped with a two-gear selector to vary the speed/torque ratio.

1.Rotate the gear selector tab (d) out of the detent slot and shift into the desired mode.

2.Lock the selector tab back into the detent.

LOW SPEED AND HIGH TORQUE: The yellow dot (aa) should be aligned with position 1 for low speed and high torque (holes from 32 to 50 mm).

HIGH SPEED AND LOW TORQUE: The yellow dot (aa) should be aligned with position 2, for high speed and low torque (holes from 12 to 30 mm).

NOTE: It may be necessary to slightly turn the spindle by hand a little to complete the gear change.

Adjusting the Motor Height (fig. 11)

The motor height can be adjusted to accommodate the need for more or less bit clearance over the workpiece.

1.Loosen the motor slide bolt (bb) with the supplied hex key tool (cc).

2.Position the motor to the desired height.

3.Tighten the bolt firmly with the hex tool to secure the motor in position.

OPERATION

Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.

Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool. Excessive force does not speed up drilling but decreases tool performance and may shorten tool life.

If the accessory jams, stop the motor and gently raise the accessory out of the workpiece before resuming work.

Always use the safety chain.

Always use the drill guard.
