SET UP

UNCRATING AND INSTALLATION

1. Location of the drill press should be in a well-lit area with correct power supply and that will not interfere with other machines or operations.
2. Carefully uncrate machine and inspect all packing to make sure no parts are manuals are thrown out.
3. When transporting the machine please use caution. If using a sling have someone steady the machine while moving.
4. Install your drill press on a sturdy level workbench. It must be anchored to workbench; the machine is top heavy.
5. Connect appropriate power to the machine. Make sure circuit breakers are suitable for the machine. Consult local codes for proper installation of machine. Always route power cables in a safe manner away from traffic areas, damp areas, heat, and moving parts.
6. After installing the drill press, use degreasing product to clean off the anti-rust oil which was applied at the factory. Then wipe machined surfaces with a light coating of lubricant oil (way oil).
7. Check for damaged parts before further use of the machine. A guard or other part that is damaged should be replaced or repaired before use. Carefully check to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts and binding or moving parts. Breakage of parts or mountings and or any other conditions that could be affect its operation.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk or electrical shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord must be used with a matching outlet 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 outlet have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment grounding can result in a risk of electrical shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with yellow stripes is equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as whether the machine is properly grounded.
• It is not recommended to use an extension cord on the machine. If one must be used, use only a grounded cord on the machine and length of run needed.
• Repaired or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

BELT INSTALLATION

WARNING: Do not change the distance between the spindle pulley and motor pulley. And lockout the machine before changing the belt.

1. Turn the variable speed handwheel clockwise direction to open the groove of the spindle pulley.
2. Put the belt on the pulley from spindle pulley to motor pulley.
3. Turn the motor pully handle to tension the belt.
4. Close pulley cover before proceeding to operate machine.

OPERATION

DRILL/CHUCK INSTALLATION

1. Before inserting drill bits, chucks, or arbors always clean out the spindle hole and taper hole with a clean cloth.
2. Open chuck jaws completely by turning attached chuck key counter-clockwise until the jaws are fully opened.
3. To install the chuck to the arbor tightly, slide the chuck into the taper forcing it into the spindle with by handle.
4. Place a block of wood on the table then lower the spindle to contact the wood and press the chuck tightly into the spindle taper.
5. Install a taper shaft drill into the taper the same way as you would the chuck. If an adaptor is used it must fit the taper correctly and the bit must fit snug in the adaptor.

INSTALLATION OF DRILL BIT

A drill bit with a shaft of at least 1” long should be used to allow correct chuck jaw contact. If the shaft is under 1” do not insert bit as far into the chuck where it allows jaw contact with the drill flutes.
Center drill bit into the chuck and tighten the chuck securely with the chuck key.
Note: Always use sharp, straight bits. Never use bits with turned down shafts. Never exceed the maximum shaft diameter bit size for the machine.

TOOLING REMOVAL

1. Before removing the chuck or bit form the machine be sure the spindle has come to complete stop and power is off.
2. If needed rotate spindle by hand to align the spindle and quill openings.
3. Insert the wedge removal tool while supporting the tooling tap the wedge to remove the tooling.

TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Loosen the clamp bolt then adjusting the table with the bracket handle to desired work height.
2. Retighten the clamp securely when table is adjusted to desired height.

Note: Keep table adjustment rack clean from debris. Never attempt to move table with clamp bolt tightened.

TABLE SWING ADJUSTMENT

1. To swing the table up to 360°, loosen the clamp release bolt and swing the table to the desired position.
2. After table is in the correct position, tighten clamp release bolt securely.

Note: Never swing the table if any material or fixturing is on it. Only adjust when table is free of loose articles.

FEED DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

1. Setting the feed depth adjustment is done by loosening the clamp bolt on the spindle depth index sleeve.
2. Rotate to desired length, and securely tighten the clamp bolt. Note: Never make this adjustment while machine is running.

WORK HOLDING

When drilling directly on the table surface it is recommended that a piece of wood or plywood be clamped securely to the table under the work piece. This will minimize splintering or burring as the drill breaks through the work. It will minimize drill bit and table damage. Clamp work piece to the table whenever possible. The table has “T-slots” that allow for many different clamping configurations. When part cannot be affixed to the table a drill vise that is bolted to the table must be used to hold the work piece safely.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Never turn the variable speed handwheel when machine is in a stopped position.
The power of spindle revolution comes from spindle pulley and motor pulley driving.
The design of the spindle and motor pulley are stepless variable speed drive, therefore for speed change only turn the variable speed handwheel, no need to stop machine to change the belt on the pulleys.

1. Turn the variable speed hand wheel to change speed.
   a. Clockwise to increase the speed.
   b. Counter-clockwise to decrease speed.

MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance ensure that the machine is LOCKED OUT and unplugged.
Special maintenance operations must be carried out by skilled personnel. However, we advise contacting DAKE. The term special maintenance also covers resetting of protection/safety equipment and devices.

• On a regular basis, blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor (frequency depends on environment the machine is in).
• A coat of automotive wax needs to be applied to the table and column to help keep the surface clean.
• If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way have it replaced immediately.
• All ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory and require no further lubrication.
• Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation mechanism, the spindle splines and rack (teeth on quill).
• After each use the machine should be cleaned.
• Weekly lubrication of all sliding or moving parts with light weight or way oil is recommended.
