ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
In the United Kingdom, the ELECTRICITY AT WORK ACT 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if
used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at
least once a year. The HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK ACT 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances
responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and the safety of its operator. If in any doubt about
electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be fitted in the mains electricity distribution board. If the
power supply is not protected by an RCCB, it is highly recommended that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is
used with all portable electrical products.
PLUG FITTING
A moulded UK 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is already fitted for your safety.
If it becomes damaged, and needs replacing, cut off the plug and prepare the
wires. Use the following instructions:
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal marked either
‘ E’ or with the earth symbol‘ ’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal marked ‘ L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal marked ‘ N’.
d) After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable external insulation extends beyond the cable
restraint and that the restraint is tight.
EXTENSION REELS
When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before being
connected. Use at least 1.5mm2 section cable or to be absolutely sure use 2.5mm2
section cable.

STARTING/STOPPING THE DRILL
The ON/OFF switches are located on the left side of the Pillar Drill (Fig.30)
and are indicated by
’ ‘I ’ on the green button for ON and ’O’ on the red
button for OFF.
GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES
Always centre punch the position for driIIing. A centre punch is a
pointed tool that marks the material to be drilled with a small indent
which stops the drill bit moving from the desired position. To drill a
hole, rotate the handles towards you, this lowers the drive spindle to
put pressure on the material to be drilled with the drill tip. Do not use excessive force as this
will create heat and blunt the bit (let the drill bit cut the material). Always start by drilling a
small pilot hole and gradually progress in drill diameter. The larger the diameter of the bit, the
more often you have to remove it from the hole in order to clear swarf from the hole. When
drilling metals except copper or brass, lubricate the drill tip with oil.
NEVER cool with water or water based lubricant otherwise an electric shock could occur.
DO NOT use oil when drilling copper or brass.
Care should be taken when drilling copper and brass as the drill bit will be prone to jamming.
Small diameter drills require a higher speed and as the drill diameter increases, the slower the
speed required. The drilling speed chart on page 11 is a guide only and only covers the more
common materials, drill diameters and speeds.
The Pillar Drill requires very little maintenance apart from keeping all unpainted surfaces
coated in light oil.
Keep the Pillar Drill clear of swarf which should be disposed of in a proper manner and not put
into domestic refuse bins.
Always inspect and check the set up and adjustments before using the Pillar Drill.

Caution!
This packaging contains sharp objects. Take care when unpacking.
Remove the machine, together with the accessories supplied, from
the packaging. Check carefully to ensure that the machine is in good
condition and account for all the items listed on page 5 of this
manual. Also make sure that all the parts are complete. If any parts
are found to be missing or damaged, the Pillar Drill and its
accessories should be returned together in their original packaging to
your local Kobe agent.
Do not throw the packaging away, keep it safe throughout the
guarantee period, then recycle if possible, otherwise dispose of it by
the proper means. Do not let children play with empty plastic bags
due to the risk of suffocation.
LOCATING THE MACHINE
When determining where to locate or permanently fix the Pillar Drill,
consideration must be given to the following points:
Is there a suitable mains outlet socket near by.
If the machine is to be permanently mounted onto a bench is the
bench at a suitable height, strong and stable enough to carry the
weight of the machine plus items to be machined on it.
IDENTIFICATION/PREPARATION
Lift out the base plate, remove the protective paper and place the
base plate on a workbench or the floor.
Locate the chuck, chuck key, hexagonal key, telescopic guard and
place to one side for time being.
Lift out the worktable, head stock/motor assembly and the column,
remove the protective paper and place them onto the workbench.
FITTING THE COLUMN (Fig. 2 & 3)
Slide the column assembly into the base from the bottom. (Fig.2)
Insert the three hexagon head bolts supplied through the holes in the
triangular flange and into the corresponding holes in the base plate.
Tighten the three bolts into the base plate (Fig.3).
Do not over tighten as this could damage the cast base plate.
SECURING THE BASE PLATE
Select a suitable location for the Pillar Drill on the bench for mounting
the base plate.
A suitable mains supply socket must also be accessible for the plug.
Locate the base plate in the selected position. Select four suitable
length fixing bolts, nuts and washers (not supplied).
Using the base plate as a template, drill four holes in the bench with
a suitable drill bit. Insert the bolts, adding the nuts and washers
underneath or above depending on accessibility. Tighten the nuts
onto the bolts to secure the base plate onto the bench (Fig.4).
Do not over tighten as this could crack the cast base plate.

FITTING THE TABLE/SUPPORT ARM ASSEMBLY
Locate the table/support arm assembly (Fig.1) . Lower the table/
support arm assembly over the top of the column and line up with
the base plate. Tighten the support arm column clamp (Fig.5)
FITTING THE HEAD STOCK AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY
Locate the two grub screws in the side of the drill head stock and
motor assembly (Fig.7). Using a hexagonal key slacken the two grub
screws. Lift the drill head stock and motor assembly onto the
column. Make sure that it slides down and locates fully on the
column. Position the head stock and motor assembly, with the drill
head aligned over the table and base plate (Fig.6). Tighten the two
grub screws (Fig.7) to secure the head stock and motor assembly
into place. Retain the hexagon key for future adjustments.
FITTING THE CHUCK
The chuck has a taper fitting, simply place it onto the spindle adaptor
and tap with a soft rubber mallet (Fig.8). This is enough to secure in
it place and it should be tight enough. To make doubly sure, place a
piece of wood on the table and wind the manual feed handle to bring
the chuck down onto the wood pressing the chuck tighter onto the
spindle adaptor.
To remove, tap the chuck in a downward
motion with a soft mallet.
FITTING THE
TELESCOPIC GUARD
Position the clear plastic shield into the
red collar and secure in place with the two
small cross head screws. Place over the
chuck and locate onto the drill head collar
(Fig.9). Tighten the cross-head clamping
screw but don’t over tighten as this may
break the plastic body (Fig.10). Check that
the guard lifts easily and stays lifted to
change drills/cutting tools (Fig.11).

USING THE 3 JAW CHUCK
Select the drill bit required, open the jaws and insert the drill shank centrally
into the chuck (Fig. 22). Rotate the chuck by hand until the jaws grip the drill
bit. The chuck has three holes around the chuck body. Using the chuck key,
exert an even torque to tighten, moving from one hole to the next until all
three holes have been covered. Do not over tighten otherwise you will have
difficulty removing the drill bit.
CHANGING THE SPINDLE SPEED
Unscrew the cross head screw securing the pulley guard casing
(Fig.23). Lift open the casing to reveal the pulley system (Fig.24).
Determine the spindle speed required using (Fig.29) which shows
drill sizes against material types. Identify the pulley
arrangement that gives the nearest spindle speed to
that required by referring to the drill pulley
configurations (Fig. 28).
Slacken the wing nut located on the right side of the
drill head casting (Fig.25).
This will release the tension on the drive belt. The
motor, situated at the rear of the machine can now slide
on the slide bar. Push it towards the front to enable belts
to be removed and re-positioned to achieve your required
speed setting.
To move the drive belts to the desired pulley
arrangement. Push the belt on the largest drive spindle
pulley towards the next smallest pulley and at the
same time rotate the drive spindle by hand until the
drive belt locates onto the next smallest pulley (be
careful not to trap your fingers between the belt and
pulley). Repeat this procedure until the desired pulley
arrangement has been achieved.
BELT TENSION
When the desired pulley arrangement has been
achieved, tension the drive belt by inserting a large
screwdriver or small pry bar between the the drill head
casting and the motor mounting (Fig.26). Lever the
motor mount away from the casting and tighten the wing nut. To check that the correct tension
has been achieved, press your finger onto the centre of the drive belt (Fig.27). The drive belt
should move approximately 13mm. Once this has been achieved, re-tighten the wing nut to lock
the motor slide bar in position.

INTEGRAL BIT STORAGE TRAY
Conveniently located in the base of the Pillar Drill is a handy storage tray
for keeping your bits organised and close at hand. (Fig.19).
QUILL SPRING ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
The quill spring is under extreme tension.
The quill spring is located in a chrome housing on the opposite side of the
feed shaft boss and returns the spindle to its uppermost position.
Adjustment is normally only required after many hours of use when it fails to
return the spindle to its uppermost position. With the spindle in its
uppermost position it can be seen that the chrome cover has a total of
three notches (Fig.20b) cut into the edge that align with the cast body of the
head stock. One of these notches is located over a cast peg (Fig. 20a) that
is part of the main casting.
WARNING: Before slackening the lock nuts ensure that the chrome
housing is held securely with a suitable grip or wrench. If not held
securely the quill spring will fully uncoil.
Carefully slacken the lock nuts (Fig.20c) only enough to allow the chrome
housing to be pulled out far enough to just clear the cast peg (Fig. 20a)
while holding the chrome cover with suitable grips. The spring is still under
tension and will try to uncoil as soon as it is released so be sure to resist
the torque. As soon as the chrome housing is able to clear the cast peg,
turn the chrome housing in an anti-clockwise direction until the next notch
locates onto the peg. While holding the chrome housing in this position
tighten the lock nuts. Do not over tighten otherwise you will damage the
chrome cover.
USING A MACHINE VICE
WARNING: The drill should never be used without the work piece being
securely held in a machine vice or clamped directly to the drill table.
The drill table is designed to accept a variety of machine vices which can be
fastened directly to the drill table; (Fig.21) gives an indication as to the type
of machine vice required.
Always secure the vice to the table with bolts, washers and nuts. If the drill
jams into the work piece, an unsecured machine vice will spin out of control
causing the drill to snap and possibly injure the operator.
ADJUSTING THE TABLE HEIGHT
To adjust the table height, slacken the
clamping lever at the rear of the table
support assembly (Fig. 5).
Slide the table up or down to desired
height. When the desired height has been
achieved, do not forget to re-secure the
clamping lever.
TILTING THE TABLE ± 45 °
Locate the securing bolt underneath the
table (Fig.12). With a suitable spanner or
wrench loosen the bolt. On the table
support assembly casting there is a
graduated 0 - 45°scale (Fig.13). Set the
table to the required angle and re-tighten
the bolt.
NOTE: The graduated scale is for guidance
only. We recommend the use of an
engineers protractor when setting any
angles
ADJUSTING THE TABLE WIDTH
Locate and loosen the wing nuts under the
table (Fig.14) and pull the side plates away from the main table (Fig.15). This will allow support for
larger machine vices and pieces of work (Fig.21). Once the side plates are in place don’t forget to
re-tighten the wing nuts.
SETTING THE DEPTH STOP
This facility is useful if a number of uniform depth holes are required in a work piece. The depth
stop is located on the front of the drilling head. To adjust, turn the thumb wheel (Fig.16) to the right
to increase the depth of travel of the drilling head or to the left to decrease the depth of travel.
LASER GUIDE
Located under the drilling head is a laser guide which is switched on using the on/off switch
located on the front of the drilling head above the depth stops (Fig.17). It provides target cross-
hairs (Fig.18) which once set on your first workpiece of a batch will facilitate the accurate
placement of subsequent pieces.
This Class 2 laser can potentially cause severe damage to eyes.
Never look directly into the laser beam or point the laser beam at people either
directly or indirectly through reflective surfaces.
