ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Use 230 V 50 Hz alternate voltage equipped with a earthing conductor to supply your machine. Ensure
that the power supply corresponds to this voltage, that it is protected by a differential and
magnetothermal switch, and that the earthing system is efficient. If your machine does not work when
connected to a socket, check carefully the power supply features.
Use an extension cable in order to connect the machine to the power supply.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
If the tool does not work properly or in case of short-circuit, the earthing system provides the current with
a less resistance path and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool has a plug to which a supply or
extension cable must be connected, which in turn must be connected to a socket correctly installed and
earthed, in conformity with local standards and regulations. Be sure that your earthing system is in good
conditions and that your plug is protected by a differential and magnetothermal switch.
Do not modify the plug of the machine. If it does not enter the socket, get a suitable plug installed by a
qualified person. If the earthing conductor is not correctly connected the risk of electric shock can occur.
The conductor which has the green insulating jacket (with or without a yellow line) is the earthing
conductor. If you must repair or change the supply cable, do not connect the earthing conductor to a low
tension terminal.
Consult a qualified electrician or a person in charge of the maintenance if you have not understood or
you have some doubts on the earthing instructions.
If the supply cable is damaged it must be changed by qualified people. Do not switch on the machine if
the supply cable is damaged.
This tool is provided with a plug which must connected to a suitable socket.
EXTENSION LEADS
Only use three conductors extension leads, with a plug with two plugs and a earthing contact and
sockets with two holes and a earth corresponding to the plug of the tool. When using an electric tool at a
remarkable distance from the power supply, use an extension lead with sufficient dimensions to
transport the current which the tool needs. If the extension cable has not the sufficient dimensions a
voltage drop can occur, thus causing an overheating and a voltage loss. You can only use extension
leads which are in compliance with CE standards.
Extension lead length: up to 15 m
Cable dimensions: 3 x 2,5 mm²
Before using any kind of extension lead, check that it has not bare wires and that the insulation is not cut
or worn. Repair and change immediately it if it is damaged or worn.

The noise emitted, measured in conformity with the standards EN 3744 and EN 11201 is:
- Sound pressure level LpA = 63.4 dB(A)
- Sound power level LWA = 79.4 dB(A)
- Uncertainty of measurement K = 3 dB.
Noise levels are emission levels and do not necessarily indicate safe working conditions. Even if there is a
connection between emission levels and exposure levels, the first ones cannot be used to determine
safely if other precautions are necessary. The factors that can influence the actual exposure level of the
operator include exposure length, environment features and other sources of noise, as for example the
number of machines and operations present. Besides, exposure levels can change from country to
country. However, these instructions enable the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and
risks.
Drill press noise emission is very low and thus not dangerous for the user, however, if other tools are
working or in case of noisy environment ear protection devices could be necessary.

17
Factors entailing better results with drill presses are the type of material, hole’s size, type of bit or miller
and cutting quality desired. The smaller the bit is, the faster the necessary speed must be. Speed must
be higher when processing soft materials than hard metals. Use the recommended speed for the bit you
are using and for the material to be cut
The chuck of this drill press can turn at 12 different speed levels: from 210 to 2220 RPM. You can obtain
the lowest speed by placing the belt on the smaller step of motor’s pulley and on the biggest of spindle’s
pulley.
The switch is located on the front side of drill press’ head. To start the machine, push the green button “I”
of the switch (ON); to stop it, push the red button “O” of the switch (OFF).
The switch of this tool is an under voltage switch that prevents the drill press from starting automatically
in case of restart of the electric current after an interruption; then when an interruption of the electric
current occurs the drill press stops and to make it restart you have to push the green button again.
1. All ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the grooves in the spindle and the rack (head of the quill).
2. Insert the bit into the chuck far enough to obtain maximum grip of chuck jaws. Make sure that the
drill press is centered in the chuck. Tighten the bit sufficiently, so that it doesn’t slip while drilling.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten, and anti-clockwise to loosen the drill bit.
3. Drilling depth may be controlled by using the pointer and the depth scale or by the two stop nuts on
the feed stop rod.
4. to position the table, loosen support lock handle, move the table to the desired position and
retighten support lock. To tilt the table, loosen the bevel lock, tilt the table to the desired position on
the bevel scale and retighten bevel lock.
5. After drilling a hole, release the feed handle to have the spindle sleeve return to its original
position.
CAUTION: Switch off the machine and disconnect it from the power supply by removing the plug from
the socket before any adjustment, repair, maintenance task or when changing the blade.
In case you find out any damage to the protection devices or irregularities while processing or checking
the machine, you must get it repaired immediately by qualified persons.
Before use check that the protection and safety devices are perfectly efficient. After carrying out the
work, make a general cleaning of the machine by removing dust and chips.
Keep the chuck protection perfectly working.
Be sure that the axle of the spindle and the column are sliding by cleaning and oiling them periodically.
