SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ BEFORE OPERATION
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and
limitations, as well as potential hazards. Oliver Machinery disclaims any real or implied warranty and
holds itself harmless for any injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.
1. Do not operate the drill press when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or
any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
2. The working area should be well lit, clean and free of debris.
3. Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the drill press is in operation; do not permit
them to operate the drill press.
4. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all-machinery with locks, master electrical switches
and switch keys, to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.
5. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a momentary distraction can lead to
serious injury.
6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated
area and whenever possible use a dust collector and wear eye, ear and respiratory protection
devices.
7. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or other jewelry while the drill press is
in operation.
8. Be sure that adjusting wrenches, tools, drinks and other clutter are removed from the machine
and/or the table surface before operating.
9. Keep hands well away from the drill bit and all moving parts. Use a hold-down or clamp to
secure the stock, and use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and dust.
10. Be sure that the drill bit is securely installed in the chuck before operation.
11. Be sure the drill bit has gained full operating speed before beginning to drill.
12. Always use a clean, properly sharpened bit. Dirty or dull bits are unsafe and can lead to
accidents.
13. Use suitable work piece support if the work piece does not have a flat surface.
14. Do not push or force the bit into the stock. The drill will perform better and more safely when
working at the rate feed for which it was designed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION CONTINUED
15. Avoid working from awkward or off-balance positions. Do not overreach and keep both feet on
floor.
16. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or
cleaning be sure it is properly re-attached before using the tool again.
17. Never leave the machine unattended while it is running or with the power on.
18. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by Oliver Machinery may result in equipment
malfunction or risk of injury.
19. Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result if the tool is tipped over or if the drill bit is
unintentionally contacted.
20. Always disconnect the tool from the power source before servicing or changing accessories such
as bits, or before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or if the machine will be left
unattended.
21. Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord.
22. Make sure the tool is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug, it should be used with
a three-pole receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
23. Do not use this drill press for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Oliver
Machinery disclaims any real implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury, which
may result from that use.
Prop 65 Notice:
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints,
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

ELECTRICAL RERQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR
POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE.
A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE
USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The
motor of this machine is wired for 115 Volt Single Phase operation ONLY and is equipped with a 3-
conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle
Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle
The use of an adaptor plug may be illegal in some areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician
before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine,
as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a
qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is
close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power
failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
Oliver Machinery does not recommend the use of an extension cord with your machine. However, if
you must use an extension cord, make sure it has an amperage suitable for the rating on the motor ID
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop-in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Any extension cord used must feature a 3-prong grounding plug as described under grounding
instructions. Follow the rules listed.

Assembly Instructions
•Review the parts breakdown and keep it for reference when putting your drill press together.
The assembly steps will reference the item numbers from the parts list.
•Remove all parts from the packaging, but do not dispose of until you are finished.
•Lay out the parts in an unobstructed area, some pieces such as the head will need two people to
safely move.
•If you have any questions during assembly, please contact Oliver Machinery at 800-559-5065 or

Assembling the Drill Press
1. Bolt the BASE FLANGE (4/4B) and COLUMN (19) to the BASE (1/1B)using four BOLTS (3) and
WASHERS (2).
2. Remove the RACK COLLAR (21) from the COLUMN (19) by loosening the SCREW (20) and
carefully sliding the collar preventing any binding. Set the RACK (18N)to the side.
3. Locate the TABLE BRACKET (7) making sure the WORM GEAR (10) and HELICAL GEAR (9) are in
their proper location.
4. Place the RACK (18N) into the table bracket. The tapered end of the rack faces upward, and the
squared end faces down.
5. Slide both pieces onto the COLUMN (19). Take care to hold in position as it is a tight fit.
6. Fit the squared end of the rack in the FRICTION RING (97) of the base flange. Secure the top of
the rack by installing the rack collar. Do not bind the rack or over tighten the set screw.
7. Slide the TABLE CRANK HANDLE (6) on to the worm gear shaft aligning the set screw with the
flat surface and tighten. Use hex wrench supplied.
8. Using two people, lower the HEAD (26) on the column and secure in alignment with the base
using the two SET SCREWS (26-1).Use hex wrench supplied.
9. Place the TABLE (17) on to the TABLE ARM (12) and tighten with CLAMP LEVER (14).
10. Tighten the three FEED HANDLES (22N) into the FEED PINION SHAFT (24N).
11. Remove the SCREW (78) from the PULLEY COVER (61) and reverse it through the hole. Tighten
KNOB (70) on to the screw.
12. Keep the DRIFT KEY (52) and hex wrenches for future use.
13. Remove the protective coating from all surfaces using a rag and environmentally safe cleaner.
Do not use any chemical that may damage the painted surfaces.

Installing the Drill Chuck Guard
1. Loosen the clamp screw on the CHUCK GUARD (87).
2. Slide the chuck guard onto the shoulder of the SPINDLE (51).
3. Make sure it is equally in place and tighten the clamp screw.
Installing the Drill Chuck
1. Remove the protective coating from the ARBOR (53), DRILL CHUCK (54) internal tapered
surface, and SPINDLE (51) internal tapered surface. It is extremely important these are clean.
2. Place the drill chuck on the short-tapered end of the arbor.
3. Insert the arbor into the spindle and twist until the flat portion mates with the spindle.
4. Adjust the drill chuck so all fingers are recessed into the body.
5. Place a block of wood on the table and using the feed handles, apply pressure to secure the drill
chuck in place.
6. To remove the drill chuck, lower the spindle to the full depth, rotate the drill chuck until arbor
can be seen, and place the DRIFT KEY (52) through the hole. Give a slight tap with a mallet and
the drill chuck and arbor will drop out. Be sure to catch the drill chuck to prevent damage. It is
much easier to do this with two people.
