UNPACK PRODUCT FROM PACKAGE AND REVIEW CONTENTS.KEEPALL PACKAGING UNTIL
PRODUCT HAS SEENREVIEWED.
Do not operatethe machineuntil it is completelyassembled.
Makesure the proper electricalregulationsarefollowed, andthat the machine is properly grounded.
Beforeswitching the machineON,ALWAYS:a.Makesureall chuck keys,spannersand wrenchesare
removedfrom the machine, b. Examinethe setup carefully, makingcertainthat the workpiece is
perfectly secure,c. Makesure your clothing isproperly adjusted.
Makeall adjustmentswith the power OFF.
Always usethe correct drilling speedsfor the drill size,and the type of material beingdrilled.
NEVERleavethe drill unattendedwhile it is running. Turn the machineOFFanddo not leaveuntil it
has cometo a completestop. Whenyou havefinished withthe machine,always removeand store
the drill bits.
CAUTION:This Drill Pressis designedfor usewith Drill Bits andMortising attachmentsONLY.
The useof other cuttingtoolsor accessoriescouldbe hazardous.ALWAYSuseclamps,or a drill
viseboltedto the table, toholdthe work. ItshouldNEVERbe heldin barehands.
USINGTHELASER
Thelaser light/laser radiation usedin this lasercentering devicesystem is Class2 with maximum
1roW and40Onto- 70Ontowavelengths.Theselasersdo not normally presentan optical hazard,
althoughstaring at the beammay causeflash blindness.
Changingthe Batteries
Unclip the battery coverto gainaccessto the batteries.Replaceboth AA batteries,taking careto
insertthe newbatterieswiththe correctpolarity.
Use only2 AAbatteries.DONOTmix old andnewbatteries.DONOTmix alkaline,standard (carbon
-zinc) or rechargeable(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Replacethe laser light battery coverand makecertainthat the light is not directedtowards the eye
of a person.Always makesurethat the laserbeamis aimedat a sturdy work piecewithout reflective
surfaces, i.e.wood or rough surfacesare acceptable.Bright, shiny, reflectivesheet steelor the like is
not suitablefor laseruse,as the reflectivesurfacecould direct the beam backat the operator. Only
turn the laserbeamon after the work piece is in place.CAUTION:Removethe laser light batteries
whentool is to be stored without usefor a few days.
Resetting the Laser Beam
Loosen the set screw on eachof the lasertubes and adjust the tubes until the two beams intersect
atthe point wherethe drill bittouchesthe work piece.Retightenthe setscrewsmore. If leftin position,
the batteriesmight leakanddamagethe laserlightassembly.Damagecausedby batteryleakageisnot

NOTE:Ideally,the baseshould befirmly boltedto thefloor, prior to assemblyof other components.
Themounting surface must beflat, leveland capableof supporting the drill weight.
With the baseona flat levelsurface, bolt onthe Column usingthe 4.M10 Hexhead screws provided
andtighten. Carefullylocatethetable in its support andtighten up with the table lockinghandle.Check
to makesure the column securing set screws, at the column support, are tight. Fitthe crank to the
shaft onthe crank assembly.
Headto Column
NOTE:tt may be necessaryto unscrewthe HeadLock SetScrews slightlyto make surethey do not
protrude internally asthis would preventthe headfrom sliding fully into position. 1. Raisethe head

InstallingtheChuck
1. Slidethe table up the column and secureit to within 6"of the spindle.
2. Openthe jaws of the chuckto their maximum, using the chuck key supplied.
3. Put apieceof scrapwood onto the tableto protect the chuck nose.
4. Make sureall parts arethoroughly clean, dry,and burr free. Placethe chuck overthe end ofthe
arborand pullthe spindle down usingthe feed handles,pressingthe chuck jaws hardagainstthe
pieceof scrapwood untilthe chuck is securelyin place.
5. Turn ChuckGuard180 degreesandtighten Lock SetScrewsslightly to makesure pinch bolt.

Locatedaroundthe spindlefeed shaft is a DepthStop Collar,printed with agraduatedscale.The collar
is capableof turning about the shaft andmay belocked in placeby the locking screw. Thescale is
printed in both inchesandmetric. Toset adrilling depth: 1.With the powerOFF,lowerthe drill bit so
that it contactsthe work, and hold in that position. 2. Loosenthe lockingscrew and turn the collar so
that the measurementfor the depth of hole required is in linewith the pointer (C). Lockthe collar in
this position usingthe locking screw.Thedrill is nowsetto drill holestoyour predetermineddepth,
from that particularstart point.
ChangingDrill Speed
Beforechanging the speed,makesure the machine isswitched OFF,and unplugged.Undothe Belt

Insertthe drill bit into the jaws ofthe chuck by approximately1".Becertainthat the jaws do nottouch
the flutes of the drill. Beforetightening the chuck, makesure that the drill bit is centeredwithin the
jaws. Makesurethetableheightand position issetso that drill travelis sufficientfor the job inhand.
Makesurethe work issecurelyclamped, or held in adrill vise boltedto the table. Neverhold it with
barehands.Severepersonalinjury may becausedif the workpiece isforced out of the operator's
hand,and damageto the machine incurred ifthe work strikes the column. If the piece isof irregular
shapeandcannot belaid flat on thetable, it should besecurely blockedand clamped.Anytilting,
twisting or shifting, resultsnot only in a rough hole, but alsoincreasesdrill bit breakage.
Forsmallworkpiecesthat cannot beclampedto the table, usea Drill PressVise.Thevise must be

wood betweentheworkpieceandthetableto preventsplintering onthe undersideofthe workpiece
as thedrill breaksthrough. Thescrappieceof wood must makecontactwith the leftsideof the column.
Inaddition,setthedepth of drill travelso thatthe drill cannotpossiblycome into contactwith the table,
or, alignthe table sothat the center hole isdirectly in line withthe drill bit. Whencompletelysatisfied

Owner's Manual
REMOVINGTHECHUCK
To removethe chuck, pull the spindledown fully, usingthe feed handles.Theslot in the sideofthe
Quillwill becomevisible. Notethe position of the chuck, perhapsby placinga chalkmark, in linewith
the chuck, onthe column,thenraisethe table sothat it is only aninch or so belowthe position marked.
Placeathick cloth,or similar material,onthetableto catchthe chuck,to preventdamagewhenit drops.
Pull down the spindleonce more, until the slot in the Quilltube is visible. Insertthe drift wedgeinto
the slot andgive it a sharptap, preferablywith a copperhammer.This will breakthe sealbetweenthe
quill tube andthe arbor, allowing the chuck to fall free, on tothe cloth on the table.To disconnectthe
chuckfrom the arbor, give it asharp rapwith a soft headmallet to breakthe taper seal.
NOTE:Morsetaper drills (MTS),may also beusedwith this machine,andare insertedinto theQuill to
replacethe arbor. Removalis the sameas that for removingthe chuck.
