Spindle direction
Turn the spindle direction switch to the desired direction forward, reverse or stop. If
the emergency stop button is pushed or if the power is lost you will have to move
this to stop (TO RESET) then to desired spindle direction.
Stop
This is used when you would like the spindle to stop.
Forward
This is used for standard drilling and tapping operations
Reverse
This is used for left hand tapping and to retract a tap during tapping operations.
Spindle speed
The black dial in the upper right hand corner controls the spindle speed. This will
change the speed in forward and reverse directions.
Warning!!!
Avoid stopping the motor under load or stalling the motor. This could damage
the electrical components.

Tapping operations using the reverse feature
1. Drill the initial hole on the drill press for accuracy of diameter. If the diameter
is 1/2 inch or larger, drill a pilot hole about half that diameter first.
2. Make sure the hole has a large enough chamfer. If the chamfer is too small
the tap will work a little hard when starting the tapping operation.
3. Select the tap type. Choose from a taper tap (recommended), plug tap or
bottoming tap. The taper tap has several chamfer threads forming a tapered
cone on the inserting end. The plug tap has fewer chamfer threads and a
bottoming tap only has a couple chamfer threads.
4. Match the tap size. Use the specified tap size to thread the hole diameter.
Taps that are sold with drill bits are size matched for you. The taps
themselves may show the hole size they’re intended for, but it’s likely to be
given in metric notation. Use a conversion chart to match this with the inch
fractions measuring drill bits.
5. Cut the threads. Lubricate the tap with tapping fluid. Start the drill press and
lower the tap gently into the hole to be threaded. It only takes a few seconds
to tap a hole. When the tap gets to the desired depth reverse the direction of
the spindle and the tap will work its way out. As long as it has been set up
properly, the chances are good for success.
Tips for tapping
Tapping is a skill. It takes practice to do it well and to not break taps. If you’re
new to tapping, practice on sample stock before tapping into your actual
project
Materials have differing requirements for drill speed and lubrication. Hole
depths and diameters may present additional drilling requirements. Refer to
material charts for drilling specifications.

To install the chuck to the arbor tightly,
slide the chuck into the taper forcing it
into the spindle with by hand. Place a
block of wood on the table then lower the
spindle to make contact with the wood
and press the chuck tightly into the
spindles taper.
Install a taper shaft drill bit into the taper
the same way as you would the chuck. If
an adaptor is used it must fit the taper
correctly and the bit must fit snug in the
adaptor.

Installation of drill bits in the chuck:
A drill bit with a shaft of at least 1” long
should be used to allow correct chuck jaw
contact. If shaft length is less than 1” do
not insert bit as far into the chuck where it
allows jaw contact with drill flutes.
Center drill bit into the chuck and tighten
the chuck securely with the chuck key.
Note: Always use sharp, straight bits.
Never use bits with turned down shafts.
Never exceed the maximum diameter bit
size for the machine.
Always wear appropriate clothing while
operating the drill press.
All guards and interlocks must be in place
when operating the machine.
Correct: Jaws Incorrect: Jaws
contact drill shaft contact drill flutes
Wedge removal tool Tooling removal:
Before removing the chuck or bit from the
machine; be sure the spindle has come to
a complete stop and power is off. If needed
rotate spindle by hand to align the spindle
and quill openings. Insert the wedge
removal tool, while supporting the tooling
tap the wedge to remove the tooling.
Work holding:
When drilling directly on table surface, it is recommended that a
piece of wood or plywood be clamped securely to table under the
work piece. This will minimize splintering or burring as the drill breaks
through. It will help minimize drill bit and table damage.
Clamp the work piece to the table whenever possible. The table has
“T” slots that allow for many different clamping configurations.
When part cannot be affixed to the table a drill vise that is bolted to

2. MAINTENANCE OF MACHINE
MAINTENANCE
1. On a regular basis blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the motor. (Frequency depends on environment the machine is
in)
2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the table and column will help
to keep the surface clean.
3. All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They
require no further lubrication.
4. Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation
mechanism, the spindle splines and the rack (teeth on the quill).
5. After each use the machine should be cleaned. Weekly
lubrication of all sliding or moving parts with light weight or way oil
is recommended. For your own safely, turn switch “OFF” and
remove plug from power source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your drill press.

ELECTRICALWARNING
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment
grounding conductor. The proper plug must be used that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with yellow stripes is equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as whether the
machine is properly grounded.
5. It is not recommended to use an extension cord on this machine. If one
must be used, use only a grounded cord of proper size for machine and
length of run needed.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
