the side of the drill head, until the drill head can no longer
swivel on the column.
Install the Drill Chuck
1. Using a clean cloth, inspect and clean the spindle and tapered
hole of the chuck. Remove all grease, coatings and particles.
2. Ensure the chuck jaws are fully retracted.
3. Fit the chuck onto the spindle by placing a piece of wood under
the chuck and tapping the wood with a hammer, or use a
rubber hammer instead of the wood and normal hammer.
Do no direc ly hi he chuck wi h a
normal hammer.
Mount the Drill Press
If needed, the drill press can be mounted to a stand or work bench
with heavy duty fasteners, using the slots on the base.
INS ALLA ION
All elec rical connec ions mus be
performed by a qualified elec rician.
Power Source
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled on voltages not more than
10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
Grounding Instructions
Improper connec ion of equipmen
grounding conduc or can resul in he risk
of elec rical shock. Equipmen should be grounded while
use o pro ec opera or from elec rical shock.
Check with qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Extension Cords
• Your tool has a three-prong plug; therefore, you must use a
three-prong extension cord. Only use rounded jacket extension
cords listed by the UL.
• Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient
operation of your tool which can result in overheating. Be sure
your extensions cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to
the motor. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension
cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).
• Avoid body contact with the grounded surfaces such as pipes
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating the
power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your
tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase risk of electric shock.
• The use of an extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords, having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.
• For wire size, lengths up to 25 ft. have an A.W.G of 16. 25 ft. to
100 ft. have an A.W.G. of 14 NOTE: Using extension cords
over 100 ft. are not recommended.

OPERA ION
Starting and Stopping the Drill
Be sure drill bi is no in con ac wi h
workpiece when s ar ing he mo or. S ar
he mo or and allow bi o come up o full speed before
drilling.
1. The ON/OFF switch is located on the front of the head casting.
2. To turn drill ON, ensure the plastic key is inserted into the
switch and flip the switch to the up position.
3. To turn drill OFF, push the switch to the down position.
The drill can be locked from authorized use by locking the switch:
To lock turn the switch to the OFF position, disconnect the drill from
the power source, and remove the key from the switch.
NOTE: Should the key be removed from the switch at the ON
position, the switch can be turned off but cannot be turned on
again.
To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until it snaps in.
Speed Adjustments
Ensure drill press is urned off and is
disconnec ed from power source before
adjus ing speeds.
1. To change the spindle speed, unlatch the plastic casing on the
head, and loosen the bolts attaching the motor to the head, if
needed.
2. Push the motor towards the rest of the head, and use the
locking knob on the same side as the drill quill handles, to lock
the motor in position. This will loosen the belt and permit
relocation to the desired pulley groove for desired spindle
speed.
3. After belt is repositioned, push motor back to original position
and tighten the motor lock knob.
4. Check belt for proper tension and make any final adjustments.
A belt is properly tensioned when light pressure applied to
midpoint of the belt produces about ½˝ deflection.
able Adjustments
1. To adjust the height, loosen the handle on the back of the
sleeve, and slide along the column to desired height, and re-
tighten the handle.
2. To tilt the work table, loosen the table bolt/nut on the underside
of the table and tilt to desired angle up to 45° and retighten.
3. To obtain more distance between chuck and the table, the
work table can be rotated to the back of the column using the
steps from number 1 of this list. This permits drilling larger
objects
4. Clamp the table securely after all adjustments have been
made.
Depth Stop Adjustment
To decrease the drilling depth,
loosen the hex nuts on the opposite
side of the head from the 3 quill
feed handles. Using the depth
measure, set the bottom of the hex
nuts to the desired depth.
Mount Drill Bit
Ensure drill
press is urn -
ed off and is dis con nec ed from
power source before moun ing
drill bi .
1. Place drill bit in jaws of chuck.
2. Using the chuck key, tighten using all 3 positions on chuck
body and remove key.
3. Use only the self-ejecting chuck key provided with this drill
press, or a duplicate. Use of any other key might allow start
with the key still in the chuck. An airborne key could strike the
operator and cause injury.
MAIN ENANCE
Turn swi ch off and remove power plug
from wall ou le before main aining or
lubrica ing your drill press.
Replace worn drive belt when needed.
Lubrication
The ball bearings are lubricated at the factory and need no further
lubrication. Using 20 wt. non-detergent oil, periodically lubricate the
splines (grooves) in the spindle and the rack (teeth on the quill) as
follows:
1. Lower quill assembly all the way down.
2. Apply lubricant around the inside of the hole in the spindle
pulley
3. Apply lubricant to rack (teeth) on quill, while fully extended.
4. Apply lubricant to rack and pinion gear on column and table
assembly.
5. Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the
motor. If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately. For motor lubrication, follow
instructions on motor plate.
