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). Ret the pulley

guard and secure with screw.

4) WORK TABLE ADJUSTMENT

The worktable can rotate + or – 45

. 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).

DRILL PRESS EN

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 qualied

persons in order to avoid a hazard.
