VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL BOX
1. Do not open the Variable Speed (VS) Control
Box. Tampering with the wiring or setting
will void the warranty. The circuit board is
not eld repairable. Do not touch or adjust
anything without calling Ellis Manufacturing Co.
for instructions. The circuits in the VS Control Box
are not isolated. Elements of the circuit board are
at 230 Volts. Direct contact with these circuits can
cause serious injury.
2. The control circuit is not fail-safe. A disconnect at
the wall outlet is the only way to reliably disable
the VS Control Box.
3. While power is ON or for some time after power-
OFF, do not touch the VS Control Box since the
VS Control box will be extremely hot. Doing so
can cause burns.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL BOX
SET UP
Important: Do not plug into
a GFCI circuit.
It is highly recommended to shift into High Torque
using the Torque Bolt Range ASSY. (For larger
diameter drills, tapping and hole saws, see page 8
for more information.)
1. Start Turn the Red Emergency Stop Button
clockwise (in the direction of the arrows) so that
the button will pop out and the read out window
will light up. Flip the Forward/Reverse switch to
the reset position, then to the desired direction of
forward or reverse.
2. Speed Change The black dial in the upper
left hand corner regulates the spindle speed.
(120 HZ = 100% of the spindle speed)
See page 9 for RPM matrix. It works in both
the forward and reverse mode.
3. Forward Toggle Switch Position (#4767)
Use the Forward Switch Position for standard
drilling, tapping and hole saw cutting.
4. Reverse Toggle Switch Position (#4767)
Use the Reverse Switch Position to retract a tap
or to tap a left hand thread. Keep downward
pressure on the Feed Handle when backing a tap
out of the work piece.
5. Stop/Reset Toggle Switch Position
(#4767) This setting stops the motor from either
forward or reverse rotation. Use this as the Stop
Switch while operating the drill press. Move the
Toggle Switch to reset position after a power
outage or after hitting the Red Emergency Stop
Button (#4819).
6. Stop The Red Emergency Stop Button stops
the machine and automatically disconnects
the machine from electrical power after a time
delay of about twenty seconds. Use this as
the Power Off switch at the end of the
work day.
NOTE: Avoid stalling the spindle and stopping
the motor under power. Turn Power off
immediately in a stalled motor condition. Clear
the jam mechanically. Repeated stalling abuse
is detectable and can lead to voiding
the warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn on the drill press and run it at moderate speed.
NOTE: The motor must be moving at a
moderate speed to change the torque range
selection.
2. Grasp the Shift Handle that is attached to the
Motor Mounting Plate and raise it to a horizontal
position with your right hand. See Figure A.
3. Push forward on the Shift Handle just enough to
relieve the pressure on the Torque Bolt Range ASSY.
Refer to Figure B and C.
4. Loosen the Range Knob and raise it out of
the position locking slot. See Figure C.
5. Push the Motor and the Torque Bolt Range ASSY
forward to reduce the spindle speed and increase
the torque. Moving the Torque Bolt Range ASSY and
the motor in the opposite direction will increase the
spindle speed.
NOTE: Make sure that the Range Knob is fully seated
in the locking slot when in the MID-RANGE TORQUE or
HIGH TORQUE positions.
MACHINE SPEED CONTROL
CAPABILITY
NOTE: The complete speed variation from zero to the
maximum of each range is made electronically using the
speed control dial on the Ellis Variable Speed Control
Box (+/- 10%).
• High Speed, 0 to approximately 1265 RPM range.
This is the range best suited for small drills.
• Mid-Range Torque, 0 to approximately 930 RPM
speed. This is the general purpose drilling range.
• High Torque, 0 to approximately 570 RPM. This
range provides the highest torque. Use it for larger
drills and taps and for cutting large holes using
Hole Saws.

OVERLOAD CLUTCH
1. The Drill Press is equipped with a power feed
overload clutch.
2. The overload clutch protects the power train from
damage. Cause: spindle speed is too high.
3. When you hear a clicking noise, the overload
clutch is working, stopping power from turning
drill bit or cutter.
4. Reduce spindle speed when this occurs.
5. The overload clutch is adjustable.
6. There are two (2) adjustment screws in the pulley
groove at 180 degrees from each other.
See Figure #8437.
7. To set maximum torque: turn each adjustment
screw (clockwise) until tight, then loosen (counter-
clockwise) two full (360 degrees) rotations.
NOTE: Do not tighten the screws too far
because a solid spring cannot let the ball escape
from the groove in the shaft. In this case, the
overload clutch would be rendered useless and
damage will occur.

INSTALLING DRILL CHUCK
AND ARBOR (FIGURE A)
The Ellis 9400 Drill Press comes with a
Morse Taper #3 (MT3).
1. Clean the inside taper in the drill press spindle.
2. Clean the outside of the tapers on the drills
and chucks.
3. To insert the MT3 arbor into the spindle:
a. Insert arbor in hole and turn until taper falls into
slot. Push up rmly or tap with soft hammer.
b. Place a block of wood on the table under drill
or chuck (#8649).
c. Using Feed Handles, press down to seat arbor
into spindle of drill press.
REMOVING DRILL CHUCK
AND ARBOR (FIGURE B)
1. Lower the Drill Press Spindle until the slot is visible.
2. Using locking handle (#8472) and dial (#8440),
rotate dial CW (clockwise) until it stops (p. 10).
3. Tighten locking handle (#8472)—this holds spindle
down in place.
4. Turn drill chuck or drill (by hand) until
slots align.
5. Insert drift key (#8073) into slot.
6. Hold chuck or drill with one hand while tapping
on drift key with hammer.
7. Drill or chuck will come out of slot.
DRILL SPEEDS AND USAGE
The speed at which the drill has to rotate for efcient
cutting depends on the type of material being worked
and the diameter of the drill.
• Apply cutting oil (uid) to the drill bit. When drilling
deep holes, retract the drill bit often to remove chips.
• Use a low Spindle Speed and High Torque Range for
tapping a threaded hole.
• Use a heavy oil or thread cutting uid to lubricate the tap.
• Reverse the spindle rotation with the reverse switch
on the VS Control Box to retract the tap.
TIGHTENING CHUCK
The Ellis 3/4" drill chuck (#8649) is designed to
hold drill bits and taps securely. Adjust the chuck by
rotating the sleeve clockwise until it is open more than
the size of the shaft. Hold the bit in place and turn the
sleeve counter-clockwise until the jaws of the chuck
hold the bit in place. Be sure to check that the bit is
installed straight. Locate the three (3) pilot holes on
the chuck body. Use the 11-point key and insert and
tighten each of the three (3) pilot holes under even
and rm pressure.
ROTATING, ELEVATING AND
CLAMPING THE TABLE (FIGURE C)
The worktable can rotate 360 degrees and move up
and down on the column. Loosen both column
clamp screws (#8407), rotate the table to the
required position, elevate the table by means of the
elevating handle (#8406). Then, tighten both clamp
screws again. (See Figure C)
DRILL CHUCK AND ARBOR
Damage will occur to internal table gear
components if column clamp screws are not
loosened prior to elevating table.
