Quill Spring Adjustment
Fig 17 Speed Adjustment
1. Move the stop nuts to the lowest position and lock into place
with a wrench to prevent quill dropping while tensioning spring
2. Place screwdriver in lower front notch (A) of spring cap (B) and
hold it in place while loosening and removing nuts.
3. Carefully turn screwdriver counter clockwise and engage next
notch
4. Tighten inner nut (C) with wrench. DO NOT overtighten as this
will restrict quill removal.
5. Move stop nuts to highest position and check tension while
turning feed handle. It there isn’t enough tension on spring,
repeat steps 2 –4.
6. Check quill while feeding for: Smooth and unrestricted
movement. If movement is too tight slightly loosen nuts until
unrestricted.
3. BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged,
loose, or missing parts.
Caution: This drill press is intended for use only with drill bits. The use of other accessories may be hazardous.
Drill Speed: Factors that determine the best speed to use in any drill press operation are:
Type of material being worked on, size of hole, type of drill or cutter and quality of cut desired. The smaller
the drill bit, the greater the required RPM. For softer materials, the speed should be higher than firmer
material.
Drill Metal: Use clamps to hold work in place when drilling metal. DO NOT hold with hand. The flutes of the drill may
seize the work at any time, especially when breaking through stock, causing the work piece to spin.
Clamp: The work must be clamped firmly while drilling: Any tilting, twisting, or shifting results not only in a rough
hole, but also increases drill bit breakage. For flat work, lay the piece on a wooden base and clamp firmly
down against the table to prevent the work piece from turning. If the piece is of irregular shape and cannot
be laid flat on the table, is should be securely blocked and clamped.
Chuck: The chuck should be securely fastened to the spindle. Remove the chuck after adjustment. Only use the
chuck key provided by the manufacturer. This chuck key is spring loaded to prevent the chuck key from
remaining in the chuck during operation of the drill.
Fixing: Fasten base of drill press to the floor before using to ensure no tipping, sliding of drill press.
The set screws of the head frame should be secured tightly before using this machine.
Power: When mounting the motor, ensure the power is disconnected. Connect to power supply protected by a
circuit breaker.
Transportation: Lifting by Forklift;
1. If lifting equipment isn’t available, use 1ton capacity forklift under the machine base to locate to
position
2. To move the drill press safely, place the forks of the forklift at the rear of the drill press –the drill press
must only be moved while on a pallet.
3. Keep balance of drill press on pallet while moving with forklift.

4. OPERATION
Fig 18 Installing Drills
1. Insert drill into chuck jaws approx. 1” (25.4mm) long. When using a
small drill do not insert too far for the jaws to tough the flutes of the
drill. Make sure that the drill is centred in the chuck before tightening
the chuck with the key.
Fig 19 Workpiece Positioning
1. Always place a piece of wood (or plywood) on the table to prevent
“splintering” and/or burrs on the underside of the workpiece as the
drill breaks through. Position the wood so that it is in contact with the
left side of the column
For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vice. The vice must be clamped or bolted to the
table.
5. INSPECTION
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and
damaged, loose, or missing parts.
The drill press shall always be maintained in accordance with the maintenance instructions. No alterations or
modifications shall be made to this drill press.
Inspections shall be performed in accordance with this owner’s manual.
The drill press must be inspected immediately if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock.
Owners and /or operators should be aware that repair of this product may require specialised equipment and knowledge
(refer to maintenance section).
6. STORAGE
This drill press should always be stored in a dry location on a level surface with the power switched off.
7. MAINTENANCE
DISCONNECT Drill Press before performing any maintenance
FREQUENTLY blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor
APPLY a coat of automobile type wax or similar to the table and column to keep surface clean
LUBRICATION; all the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication
PERIODICALLY lubricate the gear and rack table elevation mechanism, the splines (grooves) in the spindle and the rack
(teeth on the quill)
Only use replacement parts that are approved by the manufacturer.
Regularly clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
8. SERVICE & REPAIR
Any Borum Industrial Drill Press found damaged in any way, or found to be worn or operates abnormally should be removed
from service until repaired by an authorised service agent. Owners and / or operators should be aware that repair of this
product may require specialised equipment and knowledge. Only authorised parts, labels, decals shall be used on this
