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 having 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 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. Check with a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if the grounding instructions 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 configuration 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
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Table into the V-Rollers on the Base of the machine as shown.
Please note that one of the Table Stops (EZ-1014) comes in-
stalled. Make sure when installing the Table onto the Base you
are sliding it from right to left (while facing the machine) to avoid
obstruction from the pre-installed Table Stop.
Please note that, although they are factory set, you may have
to adjust the cams on the V-Rollers if the Table is too tight or too
loose after installation. If so, remove the Table. With an open-end
wrench and holding the screw head in place with a screwdriver,
adjust the cam spacers under the V-Rollers. If the Table is too
tight, adjust the V-Rollers out towards the edge of the Fork Plate
(EZ-1000). If the Table is too loose, adjust the V-Rollers in toward
the center of the Fork Plate.

Diagram 4-10
4.1.1
4.1.2
Your EBM-2.1 comes with a protective guard installed. DO NOT
operate 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.
We recommend using a piece of card stock on the Table when
leveling the drill bit to avoid drilling into the drill strip. This will
lengthen the life of your drill bits and keep them sharper.
Remove the hole guard which is attached to the chuck. This is
done by grasping the bent end 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
chuck. It is recommended that you hold onto the drill bit so that it
does not drop out of the chuck damaging the tip.
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. Step on the foot pedal slowly raising the table toward
the Drill Bit. Put light pressure on the hollow Drill Bit seating it
firmly 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 4.2.2 through 4.2.5 until it is concentric.
When the drill bit is correctly installed replace the hole guard back
onto the chuck to protect debris from clogging the chuck.

We recommend using a piece of card stock on the Table when
leveling the drill bits to avoid drilling into the drill strip. This will
lengthen the life of your drill bits and keep them sharper.
To level the drill bit to the Table follow steps 4.3.3 through 4.3.5.
Loosen the Leveling Knob on the right hand side of the ma-
chine.
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 level the drill bit before each use and
after sharpening. This will make sure you don’t drill into the Drill
Strip--dulling the hollow drill bit.

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
distance.
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.

4 - Operation
4.5 - Drilling Procedures
Page 11
4.5.1 When you are ready to drill, set the product to be drilled on the
table and make sure it is secure using the Paper Side Stops. 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.
Diagram 4-60
4.7 - Tips on Drilling
4.7.1
4.7.2
4.7.3
4.7.4
Use a sharp drill bit at all times... Using a drill bit sharpener, sharpen your drill bits regularly. Apply light pressure
when sharpening. Too much pressure may cause flaring of the tip. (Once a drill bit has a flared 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.
4.6 - Traversing the Table
4.6.1 To move the Table to the next desired hole on the pattern bar, press in on either of the Release Handles (EZ-1010)
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.

Diagram 5-10
Lubricating your EBM-2.1 should be done at least once every 12
months; however, it may be necessary to lubricate more often
depending on use. Whenever the Table starts becoming difficult
to lift, it may be time to lubricate.
Insert an oil can (not provided) into the hole on the rear panel just
below the Chip Chute. This hole provides direct access to the lift
pin. Lubricate the lift pin with a light machine oil.
