CLEANING
After uncrating, remove protective coating from
all bright surfaces with a soft cloth moistened
with kerosene. Do
not use acetone, gasoline or
lacquer thinner
- these will damage painted
surfaces. To prevent rust, wax the table with
paste wax.
INSTALLATION
The most accurate and vibration-free operation
will require the machine to be bolted to the
floor. While this is not absolutely necessary, it
is highly recommended. The drill press should
be level and rest solidly on the floor. Place
shims under the three bolt holes to level the
drill press. Equal pressure should be applied to
all three nuts when tightening to prevent
distorting the base.
RAISING HEAD
The drill press head is lowered on the column
to ease crating and transportation. Before
operating the drill press, the head will need to
be raised to the operational level:
1.
Loosen table lock (A). Fig. 1
2. Cut a 2"x4" approximately
16" in length.
Raise table (B) and place 2"x4between
table and head
(C) as close to the column
(D) as possible. Caution: do not place Z"x4"
under lock collar (E).
3.
Using table lift crank (F), raise head to
the point where head bore and column are
flush. Caution: Do not raise head any
farther or it may fall off column!
A
ladder will be needed to observe the
column through the top of the belt cover.
4. Tighten two head locking bolts (A), Fig. 2.
This will hold head in place until lock
collar can be moved into position. Now
Z"x4" can be removed safely.
5.
After head is set at desired height, loosen
two set screws (B) on the lock collar (C).
Fig. 2
6.
Slide lock collar up column until flush
with head. Firmly tighten two set scrcws.

RAISING THE RACK
Some drilling operations will require the table
to be moved closer to the spindle than the rack
will allow as
set at the factory. To raise the
rack:
1. Tighten table lock handle (A). Fig. 3
2. Loosen two set screws (A, Fig. 4) on
column hearing collar
(B). Caution: Do
not loosen two screws with lock nuts on
them (C).
3. Raise rack (B, Fig. 4) to desired level by
turning table handle
(C).
Fig. 3
4. Tighten two set screws (A, Fig. 4 ) to keep
,---
rack in position. Now table can be raised
to the desired position.
CONTROL PANEL

High-Low Switch(A) - center position is
neutral, low selects low speed of motor, high
selects high speed of motor.
Drill-Tap Switch(B)
- center position (off) ,
drill [unction selected by pushing to the left,
tapping funclion selected by pushing to right.
Power Indicating Lamp(C)
- indicates power to
-
the main panel when lit. Will light only in drill
or tap mode.
Motor Start Buttnn(D)
- activates motor in drill
or tap mode.
Tap Return Button(E)
- reverses spindle
rotation
- tap will withdraw.(tap modeonly)
Emergency Stop Button(F)
- disconnects power
to the motor. Resets by depressing and turning
90 degrees.
On-Off Switch
- turns power to the machine
on and off.

CHANGING SPINDLE SPEEDS
CAUTION!
Do not turn handwheel control unless motor is
running. The speed control linkage will be
damaged
if the motor is not running.
To change speeds, turn handwheel control (A,
Fig.
6) until pointer shows desired speed.
Note: speeds are approximate.
ADJUSTING DEPTH STOP FOR DRILLING
Adjust zero reading on scale by:
1.
Lower quill to bottom of stroke by turning
handle (A, Fig. 7) counter-clockwise until
it stops and hold in that position.
2.
Turn knurled knob (B, Fig. 7) until
pointer reads zero.
3.
To set depth stop, turn knurled knob (B,
Fig. 7 ) to desired depth.
ADJUSTING DEPTH STOP FORTAPPING
To adjust the depth stop for tapping, follow the
instructions for adjusting the depth stop for
drilling. The major difference in thc tap mode
are two micro switches. One micro switch
automatically reverses (counter-clockwise) the
spindle direction at a predetermined depth.
The other micro switch forwards (clockwise) the
direction of the spindle once it is fully
retracted.
ADJUSTING SPINDLE RETURN SPRING
1.
To increase tension, lower quill to bottom
of stroke by turning handle (A, Fig.
7) and
turn spring cap counter-clockwise.
2.
To decrease tension, pull out spring cap
and turn clockwise.
LUBRICATION
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
1.
Use a light grease weekly (if needed) on
the spindle splines in the spindle pulley
drive.

2.
Keep quill and column covered with a
light film of oil. Check daily.
3.
Lubricate lift rack weekly with SAE No.
20 oil. Before oiling, clean rack with
kerosene.
4.
Clean and repack the table lift with gear
grease twice a year.
VARIABLE DRIVE LUBRICATION
1. Grease speed control fork weekly with
molybdenum based grease.
2. Oil upper end of counter shaft spindle and
push rod daily with
SAE #20 oil.
3.
Twice a year, clean and grease cam in
hand wheel.
