5. Maintenance …………………….. Page 18

6. Stability of Drill Press
   If there is any tendency for the drill press to tip over or move during certain operations such as shaping, the drill press should be bolted to the floor.
   If the workpiece is too large to support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support.

7. Location
   The drill press should be positioned so neither the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line with a potential Kickback.

8. Kickback
   A kickback occurs when the workpiece is suddenly thrown in the OPPOSITE direction to the DIRECTION OF FEED; WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
   Kickbacks are most commonly caused by:
   a. Relaxing your grip of the workpiece while shaping or routing.
   b. Taking too heavy a cut while shaping or routing.
   c. Ignoring the instructions for shaping or routing.

9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
   WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY DON’T WEAR GLOVES WHEN OPERATING A DRILL PRESS

To APPLY belt tension, PUSH the MOTOR to the REAR  while pulling DOWN on the GRIP of the rod. Belt should only be tight enough so that it does not slip. If belt slips while drilling, readjust belt tensioning ro
FEED HANDLES. . . are for moving the quill up or down. One or two may be removed if necessary whenever the workpiece is of such unusual shape that it interferes with the handles.
Although there is a rubber cushion between the FEED STOP COLLAR and the head, NEVER let go of the feed handles when you have finished drilling a hole.
Hold on to the handle while allowing the quill to return to the UP position.
DRILLING SPEED …Can be changed by placing the belt in any of the STEPS (grooves) in the pulleys. See Spindle Speed chart on right side of Head. To determine the approximate drilling speed, refer to the table on the RIGHT side of the drill press head. For example to drill a 5/8 inch hole in wood, the belt is placed in the FOURTH step from the top. The speed wi!l then be 2300 RPM (revolutions per minute).
QUSLL LOCK … Holds the quill at any desired point, within its travel.
To lock the quill requires only moderate pressure on the lock handle.
FEED STOP NUT limits the dower award movement of the quill at any desired point within its travel and prevents the pointer from moving upward,
The DEPTH POINTER is locked in place with the THUMBSCREW.
HEAD LOCK HANDLE … locks the head to the column.
ALWAYS have it locked in place while operating the drill press.
HEAD SUPPORT COLLAR … prevents the head from dropping when the head lock handle is loosened.
ALWAYS have the collar LOCKED into position against the UNDERSIDE of the head.
TABLELOCK HANDLE .,. locks the table to the column.
ALWAYS have it locked in place while operating the drill press.
ALWAYS hold the table while unlocking it.
TABLE SUPPORT COLLAR . .. Prevents the table from accidently dropping all the way to the bottom when the table lock handle is loosened.
ALWAYS have the collar LOCKED into position approximately 34 in. from the floor for average drilling operations.
CHUCK KEY … is used to tighten or loosen the chuck. It has a spring loaded EJECTOR pin to “pop” it out of the chuck when you let go of it. This action is designed to preclude throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when power is turned “ON”. Do not use any other key as a substitute, order a new one if damaged or lost. When not in use, ALWAYS store the key in the hole in the table.
CHUCK LOCKING COLLAR.,. draws the chuck onto the spindle nose.
It prevents the chuck from coming loose during operation, ALWAYS have the collar tightened.

DRILLING TO DEPTH
To drill a BLIND hole (not all the way through) to a given depth, can be done two ways.

1. Mark the depth of the hole on the side of the workpiece.
2. With the switch OFF bring the drill down until the TIP or lips are even with the MARK … LOCK the QUILL.
3. Move the POINTER al the way down and tighten the thumb screw.
4. Tighten the STOP NUT against the pointer,
5. Unlock the quill.
6. Feed the drill into the workpiece until it is stopped by the pointer.

ANOTHER WAY-

1. With the switch OFF, bring the drill down until the TIP touches the TOP of the WORKPIECE … lock the quill.
2. Set the POINTER to the desired DEPTH … lock it and TIGHTEN the STOP NUT against it. For example … if you want to drill a hole one inch deep . .. set the pointer at the one inch mark in the scale.

REMOVINGTHECHUCK.

1. Insert apiece of 1/4 in. alia. steel rod in one of the holes in the chuck body.
2. Insert the CHUCK KEY into one of the holes in the collar… turn it in the direction of arrow until  LOOSE. Continue to turn it until the chuck is released.

“ON-OFF” SWITCH for drill has locking feature. THIS FEATURE IS INTENDED TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED AND POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS USE BY CHILDREN AND OTHERS.
“ON-OFF” SWITCH for light is independent of the drill switch. This permits the light to be “on” while making your setups.
Insert KEY into switch. NOTE: Key is made of yellow plastic. To turn drill ON …
Insert finger under switch lever and pull.

TO turn drill OFF . .. Push lever in.
In an emergency; … the drill bit BINDS … STALLS … STOPS … or tends to tear the workpiece loose … you can QUICKLY turn the drill OFF by hitting the switch with the palm of your hand.

TO lock switch in OFF position … hold switch IN with one hand … REMOVE key with other hand.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS LOCK THE SWITCH “OFF” WHEN DRILL PRESS IS NOT IN USE … REMOVE KEY AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE … ALSO … IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE (ALL OF YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT) TURN SWITCH OFF … LOCK IT AND REMOVE THE KEY.
THIS WILL PREVENT THE DRILL PRESS FROM STARTING UP AGAIN WHEN THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

basic drill press operation

We recommend the following instructions for operating your drill press so that you get the best results and to minimize the likelihood of personal injury.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

1. Check spindle speed
2. Before operating, turn the switch “on” then “‘off” to make sure that the cutting tool is centered in the chuck properly and that the cutting tool is not causing excessive vibration.
3. Never perform any operation freehand (hand-holding workpiece rather than supporting it on table) except when wire brushing or polishing0.
4. Keep your hands clear of the cutting tool (drill, shaper cutter or router bit).
5. Make sure  quill is locked securely when shaping, routing, dovetailing, wire brushing, polishing sanding or surface planing.

INSTALLING DRILLS
Insert drill into chuck far enough to obtain maximum GRIPPING of the CHUCK JAWS .., the jaws are appox. 1 in. long. When using a small drill do not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes {spiral grooves) of the drill.
Make sure that the drill is CENTERED in the chuck before tightening the chuck with the key.
Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that it does not SLIP while drilling.

POSITIONING TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece.
It is not necessary to reposition the TABLE SUPPORT COLLAR each time you reposition the table. Always keep the collar locked about 34 in. from the floor.
Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood, plywood …) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent “splintering” or making a heavy burr on the underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks through.
Position workpiece to butt against the column whenever possible if it is too short, clamp solidly to the Table – this is to prevent the drill bit from grabbing the work from your hands, which could result in personal injury. A drill
press vise must be fastened to the table.

CAUTION: To prevent the workpiece or the back-up material from being torn from your hand while drilling, position them against the left side of the column. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: If the workpiece or the back-up material are not long enough to reach the column, CLAMP them to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use drill press vise (Optional accessory). The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table.

HOLE LOCATOON
Make a DENT in the workpiece where you want the hole . . . using a CENTER PUNCH or a SHARP NAIL. Before turning the switch ON, bring the drill down to the workpiece lining it up with the hole location.

FEEDING
Pull down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.
Feeding TOO SLOWLY might cause the drill to burn… Feeding TOO RAPIDLY might stop the motor ,.. cause the belt or drill to SLIP … tear the workpiece LOOSE from your hand or BREAK the drill bit.
When drilling metal use Sears Thread-cutting oil

adjustments

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY TURN SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAKBNG ANY ADJUSTMENTS.

DEPTH SCALE
When the quill is in the UPPERMOST position, the top SURFACE OF THE FEED STOP POINTER should be in line with “‘0″” graduation on the DEPTH SCALE.
If it is not … LOOSEN both mounting screws and reposition the scale.

QUILL RETURN SPRING
If the quill does not return to its UPPERMOST position when the quill lock is UNLOCKED .,. or if the return action is SLUGGISH … the SPRING TENSION must be increased.

1. Move DEPTH POINTER to uppermost position and lock it in place.
2. Lock the quill in the uppermost position.
3. GRASP the HUB . .. pull it straight out until  it is freeto turn.
4. Rotate hub COUNTERCLOCKWISE about 1/4 turn  and PUSH it back in place. This wilt WIND UP the spring.
5. Unlock quill … check tension … if more is required, repeat steps 2, 3, 4, and 5.

TABLE AND HEAD LOCK HANDLES
The lock handles can be adjusted to make them more convenient to operate.

1. Make sure the support collar is locked in position below the table or the head.
2. Unscrew the lock handle and push the barrel lock out of the hole,
3. Rotate the barrel lock 180 ° , replace it in the hole and screw in the handle.

NOTE: The HEADLOCK HANDLE is located on the LEFT side of the head.
