Test Run

The purpose of a test run is to make sure your machine and its safety components are function- ing correctly. The machine should remain discon- nected from power until instructed otherwise.

To test run the machine:

1.Loosen the lock knobs on both sides (Figure 14), tighten the V-belts by pulling and holding tension on the belt tension lever, then tighten the lock knobs.

2.Clear all tools and other components away from the mill/drill, and ensure that the belt cover is closed.

3.Make sure you are familiar with the machine safety and controls.

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.

4.Connect the drill press to the power source.

5.Turn the machine ON. The mill/drill should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rub- bing noises.

—If you notice anything unusual about the operation, turn the machine OFF, discon- nect power, and investigate/correct the problem before operating further.

—If you cannot easily locate the source of a potential problem, refer to Troubleshooting on Page 26 or contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

6.Remove the switch key (yellow portion of the main switch), and try to turn the switch ON.

—If the machine does NOT turn ON with the key removed, then the safety feature is working as intended.

—If the machine turns ON with the key removed, then the safety feature is mal- functioning. Disconnect power to the machine and contact Tech Support imme- diately.
