10 Original Instructions

Safety, performance, and dependability have been
given top priority in the design of your drill press.
INTENDED USE
The drill press is intended for drilling holes in wood,
plastics, aluminium and steel.
The drill press is to be used only by adult operators who
have read the instruction manual and understand the
risks and hazards.
The drill press is designed to be fixed at the base to a
solid bench top. If the base is not securely fixed, the
whole machine has a tendency to tip over, slide, or
walk on the supporting surface during operations, which
increases the possibility of serious personal injury.
The drill press is to be used in dry conditions, with
excellent ambient lighting and adequate ventilation.
The drill press is intended for consumer use and should
only be used as described above and is not intended for
any other purpose.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
■Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
■Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
■Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
■When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
■If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
■Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
■Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
■Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
■Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
■If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
■Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.

Original Instructions

■Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
■Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
■Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
■Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
■Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
■Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
■Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
DRILL PRESS SAFETY WARNINGS
■The drill must be secured. A drill that is not
properly secured may move or tip over and may
result in personal injury.
■The workpiece must be clamped or secured to
the workpiece support. Do not drill pieces that
are too small to be clamped securely. Holding the
workpiece by hand during operation may result in
personal injury.
■Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by
the rotating parts or chips leading to personal injury.
■Keep your hands out of the drilling area while the
tool is running. Contact with rotating parts or chips
may result in personal injury.
■Make sure the accessory is rotating before
feeding into the workpiece. Otherwise the
accessory may become jammed in the workpiece
causing unexpected movement of the workpiece and
personal injury.
■When the accessory is jammed, stop applying
downward pressure and switch off the tool.
Investigate and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of the jam. Jamming can
cause unexpected movement of the workpiece and
personal injury.
■Avoid generating long chips by regularly
interrupting downward pressure. Sharp metal
chips may cause entanglement and personal
injuries.
■Never remove chips from the drilling area while
the tool is running. To remove chips, move the
accessory away from the workpiece, switch
off the tool and wait for the accessory to stop
moving. Use tools such as a brush or hook to
remove chips. Contact with rotating parts or chips
may result in personal injury.
■Accessories with speed ratings must be rated at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
■Keep bits clean and sharp. Sharp bits minimize
stalling. Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment
of the material and possible operator injury.
■Keep hands away from work area. Keep hands
away from the bit. Restrain any loose clothing,
jewellery, long hair, etc., that may become entangled
in the bit.
■Always clamp workpiece or brace against
column to prevent rotation. Never use your hand
to hold the object while drilling.
■Use recommended speed for drill accessory and
workpiece material.
■Be sure drill bit or cutting tool is securely locked
in the chuck.
■Be sure chuck key is removed from the chuck
before connecting to power source or turning power
on.
■Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling
into the table. Shut off the power, remove the drill
bit, and clean the table before leaving machine.
■Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser
guide.
■Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a
surface without reflective properties. Shiny
reflective materials are not suitable for laser use.
■Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill or other cutting tool if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift.
■Never perform any operation by moving the head
or table with respect to one another. Do not turn
the motor switch on or start any operation before
checking that the head and table support lock handle
is clamped tight to column and head and table
support collars are correctly positioned.
■Before engaging the power switch, make sure
12 Original Instructions

the belt guard is down and the chuck is installed
properly.
■Lock the motor switch off when leaving the drill
press. Do not perform layout, assembly, or set-up
work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating,
switched on, or connected to a power source.
■If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorised service centre to avoid risk.
■Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should
be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of
children.
■It is recommended that the tool always be supplied
via a residual current device having a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
■Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
LASER SAFETY RULES
■The laser radiation used in the product is Class 2
with maximum ≤1mW and 650nm wavelengths.
Failure to comply with the rules could result in
serious personal injury.
■Do not stare into beam during operation.
■Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The operator should pay particular and
additional attention to these points in order to reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
■Injury to hearing – Wear suitable ear protection and
limit exposure.
■Injury to sight – Wear protective eye shields or
goggles when using the product.
■Injury caused by vibration – Limit exposure and
follow the instructions on risk reduction in this
manual.
■Respiratory injury from dust created by operating
the product – Wear suitable protection depending on
type of dust.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, 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 these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
ELECTRICAL
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the
motor to overheat.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The product is powered by a precision built electric
motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is
230-240 V, 50 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
Do not operate the product on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, double check the power
supply.

Original Instructions

SPEED AND WIRING
The speed of the product is not constant and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower
rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly
carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for
a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A
line that can support one power tool may not be able to
support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. The product 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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Use only accessories recommend for this drill press.
Follow instructions that accompany accessories. Use
of improper accessories may cause hazards.
■Drill bits
■Hold-down clamps
■Drill press vices
WARNING
Use only accessories designed for this drill press to
avoid injury from thrown broken parts or workpieces.
Do not use any accessory unless you have completely
read the instruction or operator’s manual for that
accessory.

Original Instructions

REMOVING THE CHUCK
1. Turn the feed handles to lower the chuck to the
lowest position.
2. Place a ball joint separator (not shown) above the
chuck and tap it lightly with a hammer or rubber
mallet to cause the chuck to drop from the spindle.
NOTE: Never hit the chuck directly with the hammer
or rubber mallet.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the chuck, raise
the jaws all the way first and be prepared to catch the
chuck as it falls.
MOUNTING DRILL PRESS TO WORK SURFACE
See Figure 16.
If the drill press is to be used in a permanent location,
secure it to a workbench or other stable surface.
If the drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten
it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be
clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The
mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid
tipping while drill press is in use. Any good grade
plywood or chipboard with a 19 mm (3/4") thickness is
recommended.
1. Mark holes on surface where drill press is to be
mounted using holes in drill press base as a template
for hole pattern.
2. Drill holes through mounting surface.
3. Place drill press on mounting surface, aligning holes
in the base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.
4. Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough
to go through holes in drill press base and material
the drill press is being mounted to. If machine bolts
are used, make sure bolts are long enough to go
through holes in drill press, the material being
mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts.
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top.
Install the lock washers and hex nuts from the
underside of the workbench.
Once the drill press is securely mounted on a sturdy
surface:
1. Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON.
2. Adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as
necessary.
3. Check the table assembly to assure smooth
movement up and down the column.
4. Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves
smoothly.
CHUCK KEY STORAGE
See Figure 17.
Storage holder for the chuck key is located on the right
side of the drill press.
BEVEL DRILLING
See Figure 18.
NOTE: A bevel scale has been included to measure
approximate bevel angles. If precision is necessary,
a square or other measuring tool should be used to
position the table. To use the bevel scale:
1. Tighten the nut on the locking pin using a 10 mm
or adjustable wrench clockwise to release the pin
from its table support. This pin will be needed when
placing the table back to its 0 degree setting from the
table support. Do not throw away.
2. Loosen the large hex head table bevel locking bolt
using a 17 mm or adjustable wrench.
3. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement
to the zero line opposite the scale.
4. Tighten the table bevel locking bolt.
5. To return the table to its original position, loosen the
cable bevel locking bolt. Return the table to the 0°
position.
6. Return nut on locking pin to the outside end of
threads. Gently tap locking pin, using a rubber
mallet, until it is seated in the mating hole of the table
bracket. Hand tighten nut.
NOTE: The table has been removed from the
illustration for clarity.
WARNING

following adjustments:
1. Loosen the lock nut located on the right side of the
drill press, using a 10 mm wrench.
2. Turn the screw clockwise to eliminate the play, using
a slotted screwdriver, but without obstructing the
upward movement of the spindle. (A little play in the
spindle is normal.)
3. Tighten the lock nut.
QUILL RETURN SPRING
See Figure 21.
The quill return spring may need adjustment if the quill
return speed is too rapid or too slow. This spring is
located on the left side of the drill head.
1. Lower the table for additional clearance.
2. Place a screwdriver in the lower front notch of the
spring cap. Hold it in place while loosening and
removing only the outer jam nut, using a 10 mm
wrench.
3. With the screwdriver still engaged in the notch,
loosen the inner nut just until the notch disengages
from the boss on the drill press head.
NOTE: Do not remove this inner nut, because the
spring will forcibly unwind.
4. Carefully turn the spring cap counterclockwise with
the screwdriver, engaging the next notch.
16 Original Instructions

5. Lower the quill to the lowest position by rotating the
feed handle in a counterclockwise direction while
holding the spring cap in position.
6. If the quill moves up and down as you desire, tighten
the inner nut sung against the spring cap and spring
cap with the wrench. If too loose, repeat steps 3
through 5 to tighten. If too tight, reverse steps 4 and
5.

DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH
Drilling a blind hole (not all the way through workpiece)
to a given depth can be done two ways:
Workpiece method
See Figure 27.
1. Mark the depth of the hole on the side of the
workpiece.
2. With the switch “OFF”, bring the drill bit down until
the tip is even with the mark.
3. Hold the feed handle at this position.
4. Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop
lug on the head.
5. Spin the upper nut down and tighten against the
lower nut.
6. The drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance
marked on the workpiece.
18 Original Instructions

Depth scale method
See Figure 28.
NOTE: With the chuck in the upper position, the tip of
the drill bit must be just slightly above the top of the
workpiece.
1. With the switch “OFF”, turn the feed handle until
the pointer points to the desired depth on the depth
scale and hold the feed handle in that position.
2. Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop
lug.
3. Spin the upper nut against the lower stop nut and
tighten.
4. The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance
selected on the depth scale.
Drilling a hole
1. Using a centre punch or a sharp nail, make an
indentation in the workpiece where you want to drill.
2. Turn on the laser guide and align the laser lines with
the indentation.
3. Turn the power switch on and pull down on the feed
handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to
cut.
Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to slip,
tear the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit.
When drilling metal, it will be necessary to lubricate the
tip of the drill bit with metal drilling oil to prevent it from
overheating.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION
WARNING
To avoid being pulled into the power tool, do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery. Always
tie back long hair.
1. If any part of your drill press is missing,
malfunctioning, damaged or broken, stop operation
immediately until that part is properly repaired or
replaced.
2. Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill bit or other cutting tool. The
workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand
could slip.
3. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your
hands, thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered, always
properly support your workpiece as follows:
●Always position backup material (used beneath
workpiece) so that it contacts the left side of the
column.
●Whenever possible, position the workpiece to
contact the left side of the column. If it is too short
or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the table,
using the table slots.
●When using a drill press vice (not included),
always fasten it to the table.
●Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the
workpiece rather than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing or sanding.
●Securely lock the head and support to the
column, the table arm to the support, and the
table to the table arm, before operating the drill
press.
●Never move the head or the table while the tool
is running.
●Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does
not wobble or cause vibration.
●If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall
or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
●Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately
hold, guide, and position workpiece.
●Use the spindle speed recommended for the
specific operation and workpiece material. Check
the panel on the inside pulley cover or refer to
the "Recommended Drilling Speed" section for
drilling speed information. For accessories, refer
to the instructions provided with each accessory.
4. Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
5. Turn the power “OFF” at the outlet when leaving the
drill press.
6. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do
not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
See Figure 29-30.
1. Lock the table to the column at a position so the tip
of the drill bit is just above the top of the workpiece.
2. Always place a back-up material (scrap wood) on
the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of
the workpiece. To keep the back-up material from
spinning, it must be positioned against the left side
of the column.
3. Use appropriate means of support for overhanging
workpiece.
WARNING
To prevent the workpiece or backup material from
being thrown while drilling, you MUST position the
workpiece against the left side of the column. If the
workpiece or the backup material is not long enough
to reach the column, clamp them to the table to brace
the workpiece. Failure to secure the workpiece could
result in personal injury.
WARNING
A drill press vice must be clamped or bolted to the
table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or
damaged vice or bit parts.
