ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Do not modify provided plug
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the 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.
Extension Cords
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct
size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating.
Figure 1 shows the correct size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Grounding
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 tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
ALL local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided! if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
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. Check with qualified electrician or
service personnel if the grounding instruction are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the machine is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.
This machine was manufactured to be used with a three-prong grounded receptacle. A grounding
adaptor can be used in some cases to allow use of a two-contact ungrounded receptacle. Follow the
instructions that come with the adapter to insure proper use. This adaptor is a temporary solution and is
to only be used until a qualified electrician can install a proper grounded outlet. Use of an adaptor
increases chances of electric shock.

6. The drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance marked on the workpiece.
Method 2: Depth Scale
Note: With the chuck up the tip of the drill bit must be slightly above the top of the workpiece.
1) With the switch "OFF", turn the feed handle until depth stop points to the desired depth
on the depth scale and hold the feed handle in that position.
2) Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop.
3) Spin the upper nut against the lower stop nut and tighten.
4) The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected on the depth scale.

9
Locking the Chuck at the Desired Depth
1) With the switch "OFF", turn the feed handles until the chuck is at the desired depth. Hold the
feed handles at this position.
2) Turn the stop nut, located under the depth stop, counterclockwise and upwards, until it is
against the depth stop.
3) The chuck will now be held at this position when the feed handles are released
Removing Chuck and Arbor
NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it falls out.
1) With the switch "OFF", adjust the depth stop nut to hold the drill at a depth of three inches. (See
instructions for "locking chuck at desired depth").
2) Align the key holes in the spindle and quill by rotating the chuck by hand.
3) Insert the key wedge into the key holes
4) Tap the key wedge lightly with a plastic tipped hammer/ rubber mallet, until the chuck and
arbor fall out of the spindle.
Spindle Return Spring
The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main components are a spring and a
notched housing. THE SPRING AND SHOULD NOT BE READJUSTED UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, this
part was properly adjusted at the factory. If it needs adjustment please see a knowledgeable technician.
Drilling
•Using a clamping device, secure the workpiece to the worktable. To protect the top surface of
the workpiece, use a piece of scrap wood between the vise and the workpiece.
•Select the proper drill bit based on the hole size desired. For large holes, drill a pilot hole first,
using a smaller diameter bit.
•Select and set the recommended spindle speed. Refer to “Changing Speeds” in the Adjustments
section of this manual.
•Set table assembly to desired height. Refer to “Adjusting Table” Height in the Adjustments
section.
•If desired, set feed shaft at desired spindle depth. Refer to “Adjusting Depth Gauge” in the
Adjustments section.
•Make sure the worktable is free of all loose objects and the bit is not in contact with the
workpiece.
•Plug electrical cord into power supply and turn switch ON. Make sure spindle rotates freely.
•Slowly lower drill bit into workpiece. Do not force the bit; let the drill press do the work.
•Once the hole is completed, allow the spindle to return to its normal position. This will
automatically raise the chuck and bit.
Drilling Tips
•If a large hole is needed, it is a good idea to drill a smaller pilot hole before drilling the final one.
Your hole will be more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last longer.

10
•If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally to clear the chips.
•When drilling metal, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
•As you increase the drill size, you may need to reduce the spindle speed.
•If drilling a through hole, make sure that the bit will not drill into the table after moving through
the workpiece.

Maintenance
General maintenance
•Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result
in serious personal injury. 
•After using the drill press, clean it completely and lubricate all sliding and moving parts. Apply a
light coat of automotive type paste wax to the table and column to help keep the surfaces clean.
Lubrication
•Lower spindle to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three months.
•Oil the column lightly every two months.
•If cranking becomes difficult, grease gear rack lightly. The ball bearings in the tool are
permanently lubricated.
Motor/Electrical
The induction motor is easy to maintain but must be kept clean. Do not allow water, oil, or sawdust to
accumulate on or in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and need no further attention.
Head Assembly and Motor Housing
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the head assembly and/or motor housing.
Pulleys
Should you feel an unusually high level of vibration, the pulleys may not be tightly secured on the motor
and/or spindle shafts. To make sure the pulleys are properly seated and tight, locate the set screw on
each of the pulleys. Tighten each set screw with the hex key.
Gear Rack
Periodically lubricate the worm gear and gear rack to keep the vertical movement smooth and to help
prolong the life of the drill press.
