BELT TENSION ROD ... maintains constant tension on the belt, TO RELEASE belt tension for changing speeds, push the GRIP of the rod up.
To APPLY belt tension, PUSH the MOTOR to the REAR while pulling DOWN on the GRIP of the rod. Belt should only be tight enough so that it does not
slip. If belt slips while drilling, readjust belt tensioning rod
2 FEED HANDLES ... are for moving the quill up or down. One or two may be removed if necessary whenever the workpiece is of such unusual shape that it interferes with the handles.
Although there is a rubber cushion between the FEED STOP COLLAR and the head, NEVER let go of the feed handles when you have finished drilling a hole.
Hole on to the handle while allowing the quill to return to the UP position.
3 DRILLING SPEED ... Can be changed by placing
the belt in any of the STEPS (grooves) in the pulleys.
See Spindle Speed chart on right side of Head.
To determine the approximate drilling speed, refer to the table on the RIGHT side of the drill press head. For example to drill a 5/8 inch hole in wood, the belt
is placed in the FOURTH step from the top. The
speed will then be 2300 RPM (revolutions per minute).
4 QUILL LOCK ... Holds the quill at any desired
point within its travel.
To lock the quill requires only moderate pressure on the lock handle.
5 HEAD LOCK HANDLE ... locks the head to the
column. ALWAYS have it locked in place while operating the drill press.
6 HEAD SUPPORT COLLAR ... prevents the head
from dropping when the head lock handle is loosened.
ALWAYS have the collar LOCKED into position
against the UNDERSIDE of the head.
7 TABLELOCK HANDLE ... locks the table to the
column. ALWAYS have it locked in place while operating the drill press.
ALWAYS hold the table while unlocking it.
8 TABLE SUPPORT COLLAR ... Prevents the table
from accidently dropping all the way to the bottom when the table lock handle is loosened.
