In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to re-
duce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor 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 t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a QUALI-
FIED 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 con-
ductor. 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 a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if the grounding instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.
This machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in diagram 2-10.
The machine has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in diagram 2-10. Make sure the machine is
connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with
this machine. If the machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualied service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes
and ordinances.

3.4 - Installing the Leveling Feet
Set the machine down in its desired location and determine if the
machine is level, making sure that it does NOT rock in any direc-
tion. If it does, determine which Leveling Feet need to be adjusted
and whether they need to be adjusted up or down.
If adjustment is needed, start by loosening the four (4) nuts which
are accessed through the rear of the machine.
Next adjust the four (4) Leveling Feet by screwing them clockwise
to raise the or counter-clockwise to lower. After each adjustment
set the machine down completely to verify that the machine no
longer rocks. Continue adjustment as needed until the machine
sits securely in place. Tighten the four (4) nuts down to secure the
position of the Leveling Feet.

(standard three ring binder)
3.7.2 Insert a Pattern Bar by loosening the Pattern Bar Stop (EZ-1022)
and inserting the desired pattern into the slot on the Pattern Bar
Guide as shown in diagram 3-50. Insert the angled end into the
slot as far as it will go so that the slot at the end of the Pattern Bar
lines up with the Pattern Bar Stop. When you have the pattern
correctly inserted, tighten down the Pattern Bar Stop through the

To install a drill bit, grasp the drill bit and being
careful to keep it straight, press it up into the Chuck.
Seat the drill bit by using a stack of scrap paper. Set the scrap
on the table as shown. Step on the foot pedal slowly raising the
table toward the drill bit. Put light pressure on the hollow drill bit
seating it rmly in place.
Remove the scrap paper and turn the machine on to check the
concentricity of the bit. If the bit is not concentric, remove it and
repeat steps 4.2.1 through 4.2.4 until it is concentric.

Remove the hole guard which is attached to the chuck. This is
done by grasping the tab and sliding the guard off.
Using the Chuck Release Key (EBM-32), insert the tapered end
facing down into the chuck hole. With a clockwise motion turn the
Chuck Release Key 45 degrees. The drill bit will slide out of the
spindle. It is recommended that you hold onto the drill bit so that
it does not drop out of the spindle damaging the tip. Place the
hole guard back onto the chuck to protect debris from clogging
the spindle.

Your FM-2 comes with a protective guard installed. DO NOT op-
erate this machine without the guard in place.
Please note that when you are performing certain operations such
as removing and installing drill bits, you will need to move the
guard out of the way. Making sure the power to the machine is
disconnected or locked-out, push the guard up and hold in place
while performing necessary operations or maintenance. The pro-
tective guard should not be removed during operation.

4.3 - Adjusting the Table Height
Page 10
4.3.1
4.3.2
4.3.3
After you level the drill bit you may need to adjust your table height.
Test drill through a stack of scrap approximately the same height
as that you will be drilling. If the drill bit drills into the Drill Strip or if
the drill bit fails to penetrate through the bottom sheet of scrap you
will need to adjust the table height. If you are using the card stock
under your scrap (recommended) then you should just be lightly
scoring the card stock when the table is in its full upright position.
If your bits are drilling correctly move onto section 4.4.
If your drill bit fails to penetrate through the scrap: Loosen the
Lock Knob of the Vertical Stop Adjustment Assembly and rotate
the large knob counterclockwise allowing the table to travel high-
er. Tighten down the Lock Knob when it is positioned correctly.
If you are drilling into the Drill Strip: Loosen the Lock Knob of
the Vertical Stop Adjustment Assembly and rotate the large knob
clockwise allowing the table to travel lower. Tighten down the
Lock Knob when it is positioned correctly.
4.4 - Adjusting the Back-Gauge Assembly
4.4.1
4.4.2
4.4.3
4.4.4
4.4.5
Adjust the Back-gauge so that it is the correct distance from the
edge of the product to the center of the hole to be drilled by per-
forming the following:
Loosen the Clamp Knob on the right side of the Back-gauge.
Using the two (2) Scales embedded in the rear corners of the
table, align the front edge of the Back-gauge with the desired dis-
tance.
Zero (0) on these scales align with the center of the hollow drill
bits.
Tighten down the Clamp Knob when the Back-gauge
is positioned as desired.

located on both ends of the table. Pressing in the Release Handle releases the Release Pin allowing the table to tra-
verse. Release the Handle and slide the Table until it locks into place in the next desired position.

4.7.1
4.7.2
4.7.3
4.7.4
Use a sharp drill bit at all times... Using the MS-1 drill bit sharpener, sharpen your drill bits regularly. Apply light pres-
sure when sharpening. Too much pressure may cause aring of the tip. (Once a drill bit has a ared tip, it becomes
defective.)
Sharpening Stone... Use to debur the outside cutting edge of the drill bits for better performance.
Lubricate drill bits occasionally... Use Drill-Ease or Spin-Eze. While the drill is running, simply touch the Drill-Ease
stick to the drill bit or brush on the Spin-Eze. Drill through scrap to remove any excess. This will allow for a smoother
cut.
Drill Strips...When drilling, a drill bit must stop slightly above the drill strip. Replace worn out drill strips regularly to
ensure proper drilling.
After all your adjustments are made as desired, position the Table
in its original position. Set the product to be drilled on the table
and make sure it is secure using the Paper Side Stops. To drill,
step down on the Foot Treadle raising the Table up to meet the
drill bit. Using one consistent smooth stroke, put pressure on the
Treadle so that the Table rises fully allowing the drill bits 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 bit will act
more like a punch and they will break.
Different product requires different speeds. It is always recom-
mended to drill through a test stack of the product until the opera-
tor is condent of the required speed.
