6. OPERATION

pWARNING! Ensure the drill is unplugged from the mains power supply before commencing.

6.1. Install drill bit

6.1.1. Insert drill bit into chuck jaws to 1" (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and centre bit in chuck before tightening.

6.2. Adjusting the table

6.2.1. To adjust table up or down, loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B) then turn the bracket handle (fig.2.A).

6.2.2. To adjust table tilt, loosen the work table bolt (fig.2.C), remove locking pin (below bolt) and adjust to the desired angle using the

angle scale, then retighten. When returning table to horizontal replace locking pin.

6.2.3. To turn the table around the column, loosen the rack collar slightly, then loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B).

Turn the table to the desired position then secure the bolt and the rack collar.

6.3. Adjusting the speed

6.3.1. Open the pulley case and loosen the belt tension lock screws (fig.6.A) - one either side of head.

6.3.2. Choose the speed for drilling operation (see drill speed chart - Section 7) and move the belts to the

correct position for that speed, as shown on the chart inside the pulley cover.

6.4. Belt tension

6.4.1. With the belt tension lock screws (fig.6.A) loose and using hand pressure on the adjusting handle

(fig.5.C), set tension so that belt give is no more than 1/2" (13mm). Tighten lock screws.

6.5. Positioning the workpiece

6.5.1. Use a piece of wood to rest the workpiece on. The drill bit may break through the workpiece and damage the table otherwise.

The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column, to prevent it spinning when the drill

bit breaks through the workpiece.

6.5.2. For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.

6.6. Setting the drill depth

6.6.1. Use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle.

6.6.2. Loosen locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth desired. Tighten locking screw.

6.6.3. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill will stop at the set depth.

6.7. Illumination (not PDM170F)

6.7.1. The workpiece illumination is controlled by the rocker switch located immediately above the main power switch on the front of the

head.
