Set-up and Operation
Securing the Base
The base of the drill press has four mounting holes. The drill press should be level and rest solidly on the floor. Place shims under the four mounting holes in the base as required to level the drill press.
Cleaning
Clean off any protective grease with solvent. After cleaning, lubricate the base, table, and column with a light coating of medium weight machine oil.
Repeat at six months intervals.
Internal parts of the drill press are lubricated at the factory. No further lubrication is required at the time of installation.
Electrical Connection
Refer to the Wiring Diagram section for wiring information. Connection to electrical power should be made by a qualified electrician. Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
The motor should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage rating slightly higher than the full load current of the motor.
