GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connects the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

Refer to nether picture:

WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.

WARNING: This machine is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.

Note: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury.

GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES

WARNING:   TO PREVENT THE WORKPIECE AND THE BACKUP MATERIAL FROM SLIPPING FROM YOUR HAND WHILE DRILLING, POSITION WORKPIECE AND BACKUP MATERIAL TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE COLUMN. IF THE WORKPIECE AND THE BACKUP MATERIAL ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE COLUMN, CLAMP WORKPIECE AND BACKUP MATERIAL TO THE TABLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

To drill a hole:

1. Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by using a centre punch or a sharp nail or turn ON Laser Line to mark drilling point.
2. Before turning ON the bench drill press, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the bench drill press and pull down on the feed handles with appropriate force needed to allow the drill bit to drill material. Note: FEEDING TOO SLOWLY might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY might stop the motor, cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with scrap material to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any drilling operatio

DRILLING SPEEDS

Important factors when determining the best drilling speed:

• Material type
• Hole size
• Drill bit or cutter type
• Quality desired

Smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits.

Softer materials require greater speed than harder materials. See right speadsheet for recommended speeds for the workpiece material.

Mechanical variable speed (Fig. 24)

This is a variable speed bench drill press. To increase or decrease the speed when operating, raise or lower the speed handle (1).
Use the following table to determine the recommended speed for the drill size you are using and the type of material you are to drill. While drilling, check the speed on the digital speed readout (2) located at the front of the drill press.
