Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 14 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Table Movement
To raise or lower the table:
Loosen the column locking handle (see Figure 4). Turn large handle to raise or lower the table along the column rack.
To swing table around the column:
When drilling into a long workpiece, swing the table out of the way and use the drill press base as your table. Slots in the base can be used to mount work holding devices.
1.Loosen the column locking handle (see Figure 4).
2.Swing table to desired position. If the rack tends to bind, you will need to nudge the top or bottom end of the rack around the column while swinging the table.
3.Tighten the column locking handle.
To tilt table:
1.To tilt the table, loosen the bolt (A, Figure
15)slightly and pull out on the indicator pin (B, Figure 16). The indicator pin will engage at 0, 45 and 90 degree positions of the table.
2.Pivot the table to desired angle by aligning the scale (in degrees) on the table to the line on the table bracket (Figure 16).
