 Before starting the equipment

Assembling the machine (Fig. 3-8)

• Place the base plate (1) in the desired position.
• Fasten the pillar (2) with flange using the supplied screws (3). **(Fig. 3)

**

• Slide the drill table (4) onto the pillar from above (Fig. 4). Secure the drill table at the desired height with the tightening screw (5).

• Finally mount the complete machine head (6) on the pillar.
  Note: If possible, lift the machine head onto the pillar together with another person.

• Align the machine head so that it is vertical to the base plate and secure the pre-fitted screw a with the help of the supplied hex key (30) (Fig. 5).
  

• Screw the 3 supplied handles (9) in the handle mounts. (Fig. 6)
  

• Screw the clamping lever (17) in place as shown in Fig. 7.
  

• Before you fit the drill chuck (10) to the drill chuck mount (24), check that both parts are clean. Then insert the drill chuck into the drill chuck mount by pressing it in firmly and check that the chuck is secure (Fig. 8).
  

Setting up the machine
Before using the drill you must set it up in a stationary position on a fi rm surface. Use the mounting holes (12) in the base plate for this purpose. Make sure that the machine is freely accessible for operation, adjustment and maintenance.

Note: The fastening screws are allowed to be tightened only to a point where they do not distort or deform the base plate. Excessive tension can lead to fracture.

Folding chip guard (Fig. 9-12)

• Before fitting the chip guard (13) you must move the drill table (4) to its lowest position (see section 6.7 Setting the height of the drill table).

• Remove the fastening rail (23), the stop screw (20) and the stop washer b (Fig. 9).
  

• Push the fastening rail into the holder for the chip guard (21) (Fig. 10).
  
  Note: While you push the fastening rail into the holder, the securing screw for the chip guard (22) must point to the front as shown in Fig. 12. Only then will you be able to fully close the chip guard when it is in the installed state.

• Now re-fit the stop screw with the stop washer b to the fastening rail (Fig. 11).
  

• The height of the chip guard is infinitely adjustable and can be fastened using the securing screw (22) (Fig. 12).

• The chip guard must be flipped to the side to enable bits to be changed.

Prior to using the machine for the fi rst
time Ensure that the voltage of the mains supply complies with the specifi cations on the rating plate. Connect the machine only to a socket with a properly installed earthing contact. The drill is equipped with a no-volt trip that is designed to protect the operator from an undesired restart following a drop in voltage. Should this happen, the machine must be switched on again.

Operation

General information (Fig. 12)
To switch on, press the green On switch “I” (18); the machine will then start up. To switch off , press the red “O” button (19); the machine will then shut down. Take care not to overload the machine. If the sound of the motor drops in pitch during operation, it is being overloaded. Do not overload the machine to the point where the motor comes to a standstill. Always stand in front of the machine during operation.

Note: The V-belt cover must always be shut tight because the machine is equipped with a safety switch that allows the machine to be switched on only when the V-belt cover is closed.

Hazard! Never let the pillar drill run when the Vbelt cover is open. Always pull out the power plug before opening the cover. Never touch the V-belt when it is rotating.

Drill depth stop (Fig. 17)

The drilling spindle has a swiveling scale ring for setting the drilling depth. Adjust the settings only when the machine is at a standstill.

• Press the drilling spindle (11) downwards until the tip of the drill bit touches the workpiece.
• Slacken the clamping screw (14) and turn the scale ring (25) forwards until it stops.
• Turn the scale ring back to the required drilling depth and lock this setting with the clamping screw.

Setting the angle of the drill table (Fig. 18)

• Slacken the socket head screw (28) under the drill table with the help of the supplied hex key (29).
• Set the drill table (4) to the desired angle.
• Re-tighten the socket head screw in order to secure the drill table in this position.

Setting the height of the drill table (Fig. 19)

• Slacken the clamping screw (5).
• Manually move the drill table (4) into the required position.
• Re-tighten the clamping screw.

Clamping the workpiece
As a general rule, use a machine vice or another suitable clamping device to lock a workpiece into position. Never hold the workpiece in place with your hand! When drilling, the workpiece should be able to travel on the drill table (4) for selfcentering purposes. Ensure that the workpiece cannot rotate. This is best achieved by placing the workpiece/machine vice on a sturdy block.

Hazard! Sheet-metal parts must be clamped in place to prevent them from being yanked up. Properly set the height and angle of the drill table for each workpiece. There must be enough distance between the upper edge of the workpiece and tip of the drill bit.

Working speeds
Ensure that you drill at the proper speed. Drill speed is dependent on the diameter of the drill bit and its material.

The table below acts as a guide for selecting the proper speed for drill bits made of various materials.

The rotational speeds shown are merely suggested values
