OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
1. UNPACKING YOUR MACHINE
Carefully unpack all the content and lay them out on
the oor (See Fig.A). Check contents against check list
below. Retain packaging until all parts are accounted for
and assembly has been complete.
Lift out base plate and remove protective paper and
place on workbench.
Inside the small box you will nd the chuck, three
handles, three set bolts, three washers, two allen keys
and chuck key. Place on workbench.
Lift worktable out and remove protective paper. Put on
workbench. Remove headstock and motor assembly
and put on workbench. Remove column and plastic
guard. Put plastic guard away for time being.
2. ASSEMBLY
Take base plate and select a suitable place on
workbench for mounting (See Fig.B). Be aware of
table legs and anything, which might reduce access to
underneath:
Locate the two mounting holes. Select suitable length
bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied). Using base as
a template drill two holes through the workbench. Bolt
the base plate to the bench. Do not overtighten as this
could crack the cast base.
Take the protective paper off the column. Align with the
three threaded holes on the base plate. (See Fig.C)
Secure with the three bolt sets supplied. Again do not
use excessive torque.
Slide over the column the adjustable height work table.
Secure midway with the clamping lever. (See Fig.D)
CAUTION:
The head stock and motor assembly is heavy and may
require two people handling.
Unscrew the two column locating hex-keyed grub
screws (11).
Lower the headstock and motor assembly all the way
onto the column.
Position the headstock and motor assembly so the front
aligns with the centre of the base plate.
Secure the two hex-keyed grub screws (11) with the
supplied key. Retain the key for further adjustments.
(See Fig.E).
Release the power cable and inspect for damage.
Also check the plug for damage.
CAUTION: Do not connect to power supply yet.
Locate the telescopic guard and locate into the spring
loaded guard holder. Secure with small cross headed
guard securing screws (12). (See Fig.F, G)
Attach the three handles into the feed shaft. (See Fig.H)
Raise the adjustable worktable and place on it a piece
of scrap wood.
Locate the chuck and lower the drive spindle. Put on
the chuck.
NOTE: It has a tapered shaft and the chuck locates onto
this. Bring the chuck into contact with the wood on the
work table and gently apply pressure to lock the chuck
onto the spindle.
3. OPERATING THE DRILL PRESS
NOTE: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
1) SELECTING THE CORRECT SPEED FOR DIFFERENT WORK
Refer to speed chart <1> and select the speed required
for the job in hand. The machine has ve speed
settings: 620,920,1280,1750,2620. Choose the rpm
setting nearest to the rpm given in the chart.
2) CHANGING THE FIVE SPEED SETTINGS
Remove the belt cover securing screw (15) and cover
(See Fig.I). The pulleys and belt are now visible. Slacken
the tension adjustor screw (16) located on the side of
the machine and loosen the two motor securing bolts
(17) (See Fig.J & Fig.K). Pull the motor towards the front
of the machine to slacken the belt. Change the belt
position to get the desired speed (See Fig.L). The fastest
speed has the belt located on the top pulleys. The
slowest is being on the bottom pulleys.

NOTE: Do not cross the belt to give intermediate speeds.
Select the required speed and locate belt on pulleys.
3) TENSIONING THE BELT
Remove the belt cover securing screw (15) and cover.
(See Fig.I) The pulleys and belt are now visible. Check
the belt midway between the pulleys and ensure that
there is a total movement of 15mm (See Fig.M). If
incorrect locate the tension adjustor screw (16) on the
side of the machine (See Fig.J) and loosen. The motor
is on a pivot and is locked in position by means of the
two bolts (17) (See Fig.K). Slacken the bolts and pull the
motor towards the front of the machine to slacken the
belt and away to tension. Only hand tension and lock
the tension adjustor screw (16) (See Fig.J).
Once the tension is correct tighten the two bolts (17)
situated on the motor plate (See Fig.K). Ret the pulley
guard and secure with screw.
4) WORK TABLE ADJUSTMENT
The worktable can rotate + or – 45
O
. Slacken the table
securing bolt (18) and rotate to desired angle. Re-tighten
lock nut. (See Fig. N)
Slacken the locking lever to the rear of the table. (See
Fig.O)
Move up or down the column. When desired height is
reached lock into position.
NOTE: Base can be used as a work table when a higher
work position is needed (large work pieces).
5) DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENT
Bring the drill bit in contact with the work piece to be
drilled. Take a measurement from the scale (19) on front
of machine (See Fig.P). Move work piece and add the
amount on to the previous measurement. Move lock
nuts down to that required position and lock. This will
give a consistent depth when drilling.
6) STARTING AND STOPPING THE DRILL PRESS
The machine is tted with a no volt switch assembly
(See Fig.Q). This means in the event of a power failure
when drilling, the motor will not start once the power is
restored.
NOTE: The cover is tted with a safety interlock switch
(22) (See Fig.L). If the cover is not correctly located and
secured following a speed change, the main switch may
fail to operate.
Check that the cover if fully closed and secured.
4. CHANGING CHUCK
Disconnect the drill press from the power supply. Move
down the chuck with a screwdriver (not supplied) (See
Fig.R).

MAINTENANCE
Always lubricate the drill bits with suitable oil before
drilling. This will prolong the life of the drill bits.
CAUTION: Do not use water-based coolant or
any kind of continuous coolant pump.
Remove all shavings and dust after each operation.
Spread oil onto the unplated surfaces especially if the
machine is not used for long periods.
Lubricate the spindle drive with oil every six months.
The spindle guide screw should be checked periodically
to nger tightness.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
