NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it falls
out.
DIGITAL DISPLAY PANEL
Refer to Figure 6.
● Display panel (A) shows the spindle RPM.
● Button (B) turns power on and o to LED light.
REVERSING SWITCH
Refer to Figure 10.
NOTE: Only the drill press with the three-phase electric power
system has the reversible function.
● The direction of the chuck rotation is controlled by the rocker
switch located at the left side of the ON/OFF switch base (Ref.
No. 51).
WARNING: The design of the switch will not permit changing the
direction of rotation while the drill press is running.
WARNING: Turn switch o and remove plug from power source
outlet before maintaining or lubricating your drill press.
DRIVE BELT
Replace drive belt when worn.
LUBRICATION
Refer to Figures 7 and 8.
The ball bearings are lubricated at the factory and need no further
lubrication. Using 20wt. non detergent oil, periodically lubricate the
splines (grooves) in the spindle and the rack (teeth on the quill)
as follows:
●Lower quill assembly (Figure 8, Ref. No. 147) all the way down.
●Apply lubricant around the inside of the hole in the spindle
pulley (Figure 8, Ref. No. 158 & 172).
●Apply lubricant to rack (teeth) on quill (Figure 8, Ref. No. 144)
while extended below drill press head.
