Operating Instructions
Leveling The Drill Bits
Page 08
To level the drill bits to the Table, first loosen the
Leveling Knob on the right hand side of the machine
as shown. Pull down on the Handle to raise the Table
until the hollow drill bit is just touching the Drill Strip
(EBM2-1034). Hold the Handle in place and tighten
down the Leveling Knob until it hits the Handle
Bracket. This will stop the Handle from being pulled
down too far. It is important to always reset the Level
with each use. This will make sure you don’t drill into
the Drill Strip, dulling the drill bit.
Step #6:
Note: We recommend using a piece of card stock on the Table
when leveling the drill bits to avoid drilling into the drill block.
This will lengthen the life of your drill bits and keep them
When you are ready to drill, set the product to be
drilled on the table. Turn the machine on and holding
the product firmly in place with one hand, pull down
on the Handle raising the Table up to meet the drill
bit. Using one consistent smooth stroke, put pressure
on the Handle so that the Table rises fully allowing the
drill bit to drill through the product. It is important you
maintain a consistent speed through the entire stack.
It is also important you do not go too slow or too fast.
If you drill too slow you can burn the paper leaving
undesired marks. If you drill too fast, the drill bits will
act more like a punch and they will break or plug.
