Work Light
Install a light bulb, no larger t han 60 watts into
the socket accessed from beneath the head.
The rocker switch controls the light switch (D,
Fig. 13). IMPORTANT : If the drill press is
connected to 230 volt power, you must install a
bulb rated for 230 volt.
Table Tilt Adjustment
The table tilt adjustments are made on the table
bracket under the table.
To tilt the table (refer to Figures 14 and 15):
In the following steps do not over loosen.
This could result in the table asse mbly to
separate from the column, fall and cause
injury.
1. Loosen the socket head set screw (A) w ith a
3mm hex wrench.
2. Using a 15/16" wrench, l oosen the hex cap
screw (B), and tilt the table to the desired
angle by aligning the arrow (C, Fig. 15) on
the rotating part of the bracket to the desired
angle (in degrees) displayed on the scale
(D, Fig 15) at the base of the bracket.
3. Tighten the hex cap screw (B).
4. Tighten the socket head set screw (A).

Operation Installing Drills
Insert the drill into the chuck jaws abo ut
1" (25.4mm) long. When using a small drill do
not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes
of the drill. Make sure that the dri ll is centered in
the chuck before tightening the c huck with the
key.
Positioning th e Workpiece
Always place a piece of wood (or plywood) on
the table. This w ill prevent "spli ntering" or
making heavy burrs on the underside of the
workpiece as t he drill breaks throug h. The wood
should contact the left side of the column.
Using the Vise
For the small workpiece that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise. The vise must
be clamped or bolted to the table. Always use a
back-up piece of scrap wood to cover t he table.
This protect s both the table and the dr ill bit.
Basic Operation
Place material to be drilled in such as way as to
come into contact with the left side of the
column. This prevents the material from
spinning.
If the work piece is not large enough to come
into contact with the column, use a clamp or
drill press vise that is securely fastened to
the table! Failure to comply may c ause
serious injur y!
Feed the bit into the material w ith only enough
force to allow the drill bit to work. Feeding too
slowly may cause burning of the workpiece.
Feeding too quickly may cause the motor to stop
and/or the drill bit to break.
