3.0. Proper use
This table drilling machine is designed for drilling
metal, plastic, wood, and similar materials.
Neither food nor materials that present a health
hazard may not be processed with the machine. The
drill chuck is only designed for use with drill bits and
tools with a shaft diameter of 1.5 to 16 mm, and for
cylindrical tool shanks. The device is for adult use
only. The machine is designed for continuous
operation with intermittent load (S6 50 %). Any use
of the machine other than that stipulated in these
operating instructions releases the manufacturer
from all liability and voids all warranty claims.
4.0. Safety information
The pillar drill was designed in such a way so as to
all but eliminate potential hazards when the machine
is properly used. However, there are a few safety
precautions to observe in order to ensure that all
residual hazards are ruled out.
Ensure proper voltage
The voltage must comply with the specifications on
the rating plate.
Use a socket-outlet with earthing contact
The device may only be operated from an outlet with
the properly installed earthing contact.
Extension cable
The cord cross section of an extension cable must
measure at least 1.0 mm_. Always completely
unwind a cable reel prior to use. Check the cable for
defects.
Protection against electrical shock
Keep the device away from moisture. The device
must neither be damp nor be operated in a humid
environment. Prior to every use, check the device
and the mains cable with plug for damage. Avoid
bodily contact with earthed parts e.g. pipes, hot
elements, etc.
Protection against fire and explosion
There are spark producing components inside the
device. Do not use the device in the vicinity of
combustible liquids or gases. Otherwise there is a
risk of fire or explosion.
Handle the device with care
Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Keep your tools sharp and clean so that you
can work efficiently and safely. Follow the
maintenance regulations and the instructions for
changing tools.
Wear suitable work clothes and personal
protection equipment
Loose clothing is not suitable, as it can be caught by
moving parts, causing you to become entangled.
Wear a hair net if you have long hair. As a general
rule, jewelry should not be worn when working with
machine tools. Ensure that you wear safety goggles.
Not doing so could result in eye injury.
Keep your work area neat and tidy
Disorder in the work area can easily lead to
accidents. Do not leave any tools, objects, or cable in
the direct vicinity of the work area, as this poses a
tripping hazard! Ensure that there is sufficient
lighting.

Note: All bare parts are greased in order to protect
them from corrosion. Before mounting the drill chuck
(10) onto the spindle (11), both parts must be
completely degreased using an environmentally
friendly solvent. This ensures optimal transmission of
power.
Mount the drill chuck onto the spindle.
6.2. Installing the machine (Fig. 1)
Before the drill is started for the first time, it must be
solidly and fully mounted on the work area of a stable
workbench. Use both mounting holes (12) in the
base plate to do this. Ensure that the machine is
freely accessible for operation, adjustment and
maintenance.
Note: The fixing screws may only be tightened to a
point where they do not distort or deform the base
plate. Excessive tension can lead to fracture.
6.3. Hinged chip guard (Fig. 4)
Unscrew the three recessed head screws (21).
Push the transparent cover (23) into the groove of
the red mounting frame (24) and fasten it again with
the recessed head screws (21).
The height of the cover (23) is infinitely adjustable
and can be locked using the two thumb screws (22).
The chip guard (13) can be flipped upwards to
change drill bits; ensure, however, that the chip
guard (13) is back in its initial position before
restarting the machine.
6.4. Prior to starting
Ensure that the voltage of the mains supply complies
with the specifications on the rating plate. Connect
the machine only to a socket with the properly
installed earthing contact.
The table drill is equipped with a no-volt trip that is
designed to protect the operator from an undesired
restart following a drop in voltage. Should this occur,
the machine must be manually restarted.
7.0. Operation
Wear suitable, protective clothing (i.e.
rugged and tight-fitting) when working
with the table drill.
Always wear safety goggles!
Long hair should always be bound
back with a hair net or a cap!
7.1. General (Fig. 2)
To switch on the machine, push in the green On
button „I“ (18); the machine starts up. To switch off,
press the red Off button „O“ (19); the device shuts
down. Ensure that you do not overload the device. If
the sound of the motor drops in pitch during
operation, it is being overloaded. Do not overload the
device to the point where the motor comes to a
standstill.
The machine is designed for continuous operation
with intermittent load (S6 50 %).
The machine may be operated under a full load for a
maximum of 5 minutes, at which time the machine
needs to idle for 5 minutes. This prevents the motor
from overheating.
7.2. Tool insertion (Fig. 1)
Ensure that the mains plug is pulled out before
changing tools. Only cylindrical tools with a
maximum shaft diameter of Ø 1.5 - 16 mm may be
clamped in the scroll chuck (10). Only use a tool that
is sharp and free of defects. Do not use tools whose
shaft is damaged or which are deformed or flawed in
any other way. Only insert accessories and
attachments that are specified in the operating
instructions or have been approved by the
manufacturer.
7.3. Handling the drill chuck (Fig. 1)
Your table drill is equipped with a scroll chuck (10).
In order to insert a drill bit, flip up the chip guard (13),
insert the drill bit, then tighten down the drill chuck
using the supplied chuck key.
Pull out the chuck key. Ensure that the clamped in
tool is firmly seated.
Caution! Do not leave the chuck key in the clamp
hole.
Doing so will cause it to shoot out, which could cause
injury.

7.4. Setting the speed (Fig. 1/5/6)
First switch the machine off, then pull out the mains
plug.
The various spindle speeds can be set by moving the
V-belt.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the screw (16) in order to open the V-
belt cover (7).
Slacken the tightening screw (15) and push the
motor (8) in the direction of the machine head.
Move the V-belt to the desired position.
Refer to the table for the recommended speeds
for different drill bit materials.
Tighten the V-belt by pushing the motor (8) back
from the machine head (6). Screw the tightening
screw (16) back down again. The tension is
properly set when the V-belt flexes in the middle
by approx. 1 cm when pressed.
Close the V-belt cover and screw down using the
screw (16).
The V-belt cover (7) must always be locked tight, as
the machine is equipped with a safety switch that
only allows the machine to be turned on when the V-
belt cover (7) is closed.
Caution! Never let the pillar drill run when the V-belt
cover is open. Always pull out the mains plug before
opening the cover. Never touch the V-belt when it is
rotating.
7.5. Drill depth stop point (Fig. 7)
The drilling spindle has a swiveling scale ring for
setting the drill depth. Only adjust the setting when
the machine is at a standstill.
-Lower the drilling spindle (11) until the tip of the drill
bit touches the workpiece.
-Slacken the clamping screw (17) and turn the scale
ring (25) forwards until it stops.
-Turn the scale ring (25) back to the desired drill
depth, then lock this setting into place using the
clamping screw (17).
7.6. Setting the angle of the drill table (Fig. 8)
Slacken the carriage bolt (26) under the drill
table (4).
Set the drill table (4) to the desired angle (which
can be read off the scale on the top side of the
drill table).
Tighten down the carriage bolt (26) in order to
lock the drill table (4) into this position.
7.7. Setting the height of the drill table (Fig. 1)
Slacken the tightening screw (5).
Set the drill table (4) to the desired height by
pressing down or lifting up and simultaneously
(gently) pushing to the left or right.
Screw the tightening screw (5) back down again.
7.8. Locking the workpiece into position (Fig. 1)
As a general rule, use a machine vice (14) or another
suitable clamping device to lock a workpiece into
position.
Never hold the workpiece in place with your
hand!
When drilling, the workpiece should be able to travel
on the drill table (4) for self-centering purposes.
Ensure that the workpiece cannot rotate. This is best
achieved by placing the workpiece/machine vice on a
sturdy block.
Caution! Sheet metal parts must be clamped to
prevent them from being torn up. Properly set the
height and angle of the drill table for each workpiece.
There must be enough distance between the upper
edge of the workpiece and the tip of the drill bit.
7.9. Drilling wood
Please note that sawdust must be properly extracted
when working with wood, as it can pose a health
hazard. Ensure that you wear a suitable dust mask
when performing work that generates dust.
7.10. Working speeds
Ensure that you drill at the proper speed. Drill speed
is dependent on the diameter of the drill bit and the
material in question.
The table below acts as a guide for selecting the
proper speed for various materials.
Note: The drill speeds specified are merely
suggested values.

should be performed at the lowest speed, while a
high speed is required for center-drilling.
8.0. Care and maintenance
The table drill is to a large extent maintenance-free.
Keep the device clean.
Pull out the mains plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the machine.
Do not use any harsh, abrasive cleaning solvents.
Ensure that no liquid seeps into the device.
Regrease all bare parts when the work is finished.
The drill pillar, blank parts of the column, and the drill
table especially should be regreased at regular
intervals. Use a standard, acid-free lubricating
grease to do this.
Caution: Do not use your household refuse bin as a
receptacle for oil and grease-soaked cleaning rags or
grease and oil sludge. Dispose of these toxic
materials in an environmentally-friendly fashion.
Regularly check and clean the ventilation holes.
Store the device in a dry room. Should the device
become damaged, do not try to repair it yourself;
leave this work to the hands of a qualified electrical
technician.
