 INTRODUCTION

The variable speed model allows step-less control of drilling speed between the minimum and maximum enabling fi ner control of finish and tolerance. The belt transmission uses two spring-tensioned cone pulleys, the diameters of which can be adjusted by moving a center idle pulley with the speed adjustment control lever. Safety devices fitested include a no-volt release switch, allowing insurance company approval for use in educational establishments. Supplied with chuck guard. Mortise attachment available, order Model No. MA10.

ASSEMBLY

Note:
Figures are illustrative and may differ in detail from your drill.
5.1. ASSEMBLY
5.1.1. Place the column assembly on the base, align holes and secure with the four bolts provided.
5.1.2. Insert the worm gear (fig.1.1) into the table bracket crank handle hole, ensuring that the worm gear meshes with the rack gear in the bracket.
5.1.3. Screw the lock handle (fig.1.2) into the lugs at the rear of the table bracket but DO NOT tighten.
5.1.4. Install the table bracket onto the column together with the rack (fig.2), engaging gear in the bracket with rack teeth. Note that the rack should be assembled with the longer tooth-free end uppermost. .Install the rack collar and tighten the grub screw firmly (fig.3). Ensure that rack is free to move around the column.
5.1.5. Install the table adjusting handle (fig.3.A) onto the worm gear shaft, tightening the grub screw onto the flat on the shaft.
5.1.6. Tighten the table bracket lock handle (fig.3.B).
5.1.7. Fit the table arm to the table bracket with the bolt and washer provided (fig.2.D).
5.1.8. Fit the table to the table arm and clamp in position with the smaller lock handle.

5.1.9. Carefully place the head assembly over the column and slide it into position. Align head with base.
5.1.10. Fit the two set screws in the side of the head to lock it into position and tighten with hex. key (fig.4).
5.1.11. Screw the three feed handles and knobs to the hub of the pinion shaft (fig.5.A).
5.1.12. Open the pulley cover and then insert the speed control handle through the side of the pulley housing.
5.1.13. Screw the handle into the central pulley carrier with the flats on the outer sleeve of the handle engaged in the guide slot.
5.1.14. To install the chuck open the chuck jaws completely by turning the chuck key counter-clockwise. Place a piece of wood on the drill table (to prevent the chuck from getting damaged).
5.1.15. Insert the larger tapered end of the arbor (fig.5.B) into the drill spindle – rotate slightly to engage fully, fit chuck to the protruding end of the arbor and hold in place.
5.1.16. Turn feed handles to bring the nose of the chuck down onto the wood (fig.5). Firmly pull on the feed handle to seat the arbor taper in the spindle and chuck.
5.1.17. Loosen clamp screw on safety guard mounting collar, pass guard up over chuck, and fit collar round flange of quill shaft. Ensure the guard pivot is central and tightens the clamp screw (see fig.6).
5.2. DRILL MOUNTING
5.2.1. For stability and safety it is important that the drill base is securely bolted to the floor.
5.2.2. Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the drill together with the weight of the heaviest likely workpiece.

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure that the drill is unplugged from the main power supply before commencing.
6.1. INSTALLING DRILL BIT
6.1.1. Insert drill bit into chuck jaws to 1” (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and center bit in chuck before tightening.
6.2. ADJUSTING THE TABLE
6.2.1. To adjust the table up or down, loosen the lock handle (fig.3.B), then turn the bracket handle (fig.3.A). Once at the correct height tighten the lock handle.
6.2.2. To adjust table tilt, remove the locating pin and nut (fig.3.C) – if the pin is tight, turn nut clockwise to loosen. Loosen the table arm bolt (fig.3.D), adjust table to the desired angle using the angle scale, then retighten the table arm bolt. When the table is returned to the horizontal, replace the locating pin and nut.
6.2.3. To turn the table around the column, loosen the lock handle. Turn the table to the desired position and then tighten the lock handle.
6.3. ADJUSTING THE SPEED
6.3.1. Determine the speed for the drilling operation (see drill speed chart) and, with the motor running, move the speed control handle (turn anticlockwise to loosen) to that speed as marked on the pulley housing. Lock the lever in position by turning it clockwise and turning off the motor.
6.4. POSITIONING THE WORKPIECE
6.4.1. Rest the workpiece on a piece of wood to prevent the drill bit from damaging the table when it breaks through. The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column. When the drill bit breaks through the workpiece, it will contact the wood and cause it to spin. Resting the wood against the column will help prevent this.
6.4.2. For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.
6.5. Use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle.
6.5.1. Loosen the locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth required. Tighten the locking screw.
6.5.2. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill will stop at the set depth.

DRILL SPEEDS

The chart below shows recommended drill speeds for various bit diameters and materials. Select the available drill speed that is the same as, or nearest to, the one recommended for the task in hand.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect from main supply before performing any maintenance.
8.1. Clean the tool after each use. A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table and column will help to keep the surfaces clean.
8.2. Blow out any dust that may have accumulated in the motor.
8.3. Periodically lubricate the table elevation rack/gear/worm mechanism and the spindle sleeve exterior with machine oil.
8.4. BELT CHANGING Please note that an instructional video for this product is available to view on our YouTube channel.
8.4.1. Remove the securing screw and open the belt cover (fig.7).
8.4.2. Move the speed change lever to the right, to release the tension on the top belt.
8.4.3. Remove the belt and, if necessary, move the speed change lever to the left in order to remove the lower belt.
8.4.4. Fit replacement belts in the opposite manner to the above.
8.4.5. Close the lid and secure with the screw.
8.4.6. Run the drill to re-tension the belts.
