ASSEMBLY

CLEANING BEFORE ASSEMBLY
After removing the drilling machine from its wooden crate using proper equipment and fixing it permanently to a workbench or optional stand, all the surfaced (non-painted) parts of the machine are coated with an anti-rust compound and must be cleaned. Clean with a rag and kerosene or a petroleum- based solvent. Do not use paint thinner, gasoline or lacquer thinner, these will damage painted surfaces. Then lubricate all movable parts with gear oil (SAE 30 non-detergent) or grease.

ASSEMBLY
Installing Handwheel Handles

1. Install the large handwheel handle (A) Fig.3 onto the elevation handwheel (B) using a flathead screwdriver.
2. Install the three small handwheel handles (A) Fig.4 onto the table travel hand wheels (B) using a flathead screwdriver.

Installing Drill Chuck to Arbor
Before the drill chuck can be installed onto the machine spindle, it must be installed onto the arbour. Before attempting this installation, all grease, oil and debris must be removed to ensure a tight fit.

1. Fully open the chuck jaws by turning the body of the chuck (A) Fig.5 counterclockwise. Position the chuck on a solid surface with its jaws facing downwards.
2. Insert the arbour (B) into the chuck and lightly tap the arbour with a rubber hammer. This installation is semi-permanent. If you wish for a permanent installation, freeze the arbour for 15 minutes before following the above installation. The arbour will expand as the arbour regains temperature, permanently locking the chuck.
3. The operation is the same if you wish to install a milling cutting tool in the arbour.

Installing Drill Chuck and Arbor in the Machine Spindle
Disconnect the power cord from the power source before attempting to install the drill chuck and arbour into the machine spindle.

1. Remove the drawbar cap (A) Fig.6 by simply pulling it upwards.
2. Insert the chuck and arbour fully up into the spindle, making sure to line up the slot in the arbour with the pin in the spindle.
3. Insert the drawbar (B) into the top end of the spindle and thread it into the arbour. At this point, tighten the drawbar by hand.
4. Thread the drawbar nut (C) onto the drawbar and tighten the drawbar nut by hand.
5. Place an 8mm wrench on the drawbar flat (D) to prevent the spindle from turning while you use a 17mm wrench on the drawbar nut flat (E) to secure the drawbar. Do not overtighten the drawbar and nut, this will only make the removal of the chuck and arbour more difficult and could damage the arbour and threads.
6. Reinstall the drawbar cap (A).

Removing the Drill Chuck and Arbor from the Machine Spindle

1. Remove the drawbar cap (A) Fig.6 by simply pulling it upwards.
2. Unscrew the drawbar nut (C) and the drawbar (B) using the 8mm and 17mm wrenches.
3. Using the drawbar, lightly tap the drawbar with a rubber hammer to dislodge the chuck and arbour from the spindle. Make sure you position your hand under the chuck to prevent it from falling out.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE & OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES

TEST RUN AND BREAKING-IN THE SPINDLE BEARINGS:
Proper break-in procedures must be followed to ensure the spindle bearings break in and seat before putting any milling load on the machine. Failure to follow start-up and spindle bearings break-in procedures will likely cause rapid deterioration of the spindle and other related parts.

1. Make sure the forward/reverse switch (A) Fig.7 is set in the “0” (OFF) position and then press the emergency STOP button (B).
2. Connect the milling/drilling power cord to the power source.
3. Turn the high/low-speed selector knob (A) Fig.8 to the “L” (low) position and rotate the spindle variable spindle knob (C) Fig.7 to the left (slowest) position.
4. Squeeze the tab (D) Fig.7 on the emergency STOP button, pull it open, and then press the green “ON” button. Place the forward/reverse switch (A) Fig.7 in the “F” (Forward) position. The spindle will begin to turn at a low RPM.
5. Press the emergency STOP button. The machine should stop. If the machine does not stop, the emergency STOP button safety feature is not working correctly. This safety feature must work properly before proceeding with regular operations.
6. Open the emergency STOP button cover and press the green “ON” button to start the spindle.
7. While watching the spindle speed digital readout (E) Fig.7, turn the spindle variable speed knob until the milling/drilling reaches approximately 600 RPM, then let it run for a minimum of 10 minutes.
8. Increase the speed to 1000 RPM and let it run for another ten minutes.
9. Increase the speed to 2200 RPM and let it run for another ten minutes.
10. Turn the milling/drilling OFF by pressing the emergency STOP button.
11. Set the spindle to rotate in the opposite direction, and let it run at 1000 RPM for another ten minutes. DO NOT leave the area during the break-in procedure. You may need to stop the machine if a problem occurs.

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
The following is only a general guideline of a typical operation with this milling/drilling.

To complete a typical operation, the operator must do the following:

1. Loosen the head travel locking handles, then adjust the head height above the table to ensure there is sufficient room to install the tooling in the spindle and the workpiece on the table.
2. Install the desired accessory.
3. Position the workpiece as needed for the operation, then clamp the workpiece using applicable clamping devices, or a vice that is already mounted on the table to ensure the workpiece does not move during the milling/drilling operation.
4. Position the cutter or drill bit near the workpiece, then tighten the head travel lock handles.
5. Select the appropriate spindle speed for the milling or drilling operation using the speed selector knob and spindle variable speed knob.
6. For milling operations, unlock the longitudinal and cross (X- and Y-axis) table lock handles. For drilling operations, make sure the longitudinal and cross (X- and Y-axis) table lock handles are locked.
7. Wear safety glasses or a face shield.
8. Turn the spindle direction selection knob to the desired direction.
9. Loosen the quill lock lever and use the quill feed levers or the fine feed knob to set the cutting tool height according to the workpiece.
10. For milling operations, use the table handwheels to move the table so the cutter removes material evenly from the workpiece. For drilling operations, uses the quill feed lever or fine feed knob to lower the drill bit into the workpiece, then raise the drill bit out of the workpiece using the same controls.
11. Turn the spindle direction knob to the “0” position to stop the spindle.

ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION

SPINDLE DEPTH DIGITAL READOUT & SCALE

4. If you want to increase or decrease your reading, press the corresponding up or down arrows (C & D).
5. When the operation is finished, press the “Off” button (E), this will help conserve the digital readout battery. This digital readout has an auto-off function to save battery life.

SPINDLE SPEED AND DIRECTION
The two-gear headstock and the variable speed motor provide an overall speed range of 50-2250 RPM. To set the spindle speed and direction, follow these steps;

1. Select the appropriate speed range using the high/low-speed selector (A) Fig.10. The “H” or high on the speed selector stands for high-speed range (100-2250 RPM), the “L” or low on the speed selector stands for low-speed range (50-1125 RPM).
   Note: To maximize spindle torque, use the low range speed except when the required spindle speed is above 1125 RPM.

2. Turn the spindle variable speed dial (B) Fig.10 to the left (slowest position), then press the green “On” button to turn the machine on.

3. Set the spindle travel direction using the forward/reverse switch (C) Fig.10.

4. Turn the spindle variable speed dial (B) Fig.10 clockwise to increase the spindle speed, watch the spindle RPM digital readout (D) and adjust until desired speed is reached.

CALCULATING CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED
Using the proper spindle speed will produce the desired results, increase operator safety and reduce wear and tear on the machine. The chart information in Fig.11 is only a guideline to help you determine the correct spindle speed for the workpiece material. To determine the needed spindle speed, use the following calculation;

• (Cutting speed x 4) ÷ Tool diameter (inches) = Spindle RPM

Example:
Mild Steel (90 x 4) = 360 ÷ 1/2” cutting tool (0.5”) = 720 Spindle RPM.

SPINDLE DEPTH MANUAL CONTROLS
The spindle depth can be manually controlled by the down feed handles and the fine feed knob. Refer to fig.12 & 13.

Changing spindle depth using down feed handles

1. Unlock the quill lock handle (A) Fig.12.
2. Loosen the fine feed lock knob (A) Fig.13.
3. Pull down on the down feed handles (B) Fig.13 to adjust the depth of the spindle. Observe the spindle depth digital readout (C) or scale (D) to monitor the movement.

Note:
To prevent cutting tool chatter, it is recommended to keep the spindle retracted into the headstock as far as possible. Instead, move the head down towards your workpiece.

Changing spindle depth using a fine feed knob

1. Unlock the quill lock handle (A) Fig.12.
2. Tighten the fine feed lock knob (A) Fig.13.
3. Rotate the fine feed knob (B) Fig.12 to lower or raise the spindle in small increments. Observe the spindle depth digital readout (C) Fig.13 or the fine feed scale (C) Fig.12 to monitor the movement.

MAINTAINING YOUR MILLING/DRILLING MACHINE

Replacing spindle depth digital readout battery
If you notice the digital readout stops functioning, the battery must be replaced.

1. Using a screwdriver or a coin, unscrew the battery cover (A) Fig.21 and remove it.
2. Remove the old battery and dispose of it according to local regulations. replace the battery with a new CR2032 battery. Reinstall the battery cover.

Adjusting gibs
Gibs are wedge-shaped pieces of metal that fill the gap between the sliding surfaces of the machine. By adjusting the position of the gib in its gap, you can remove any play that might exist between the adjacent components. The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory but due to storage, break-in, and usage, they may require adjustment. If movement seems too tight at first, make sure that all the rust preventative that was shipped on the machine is removed from the ways.

Lubricate the ways with light machine oil, and work the table back-and-forth or the head up-and-down several times until the movement is easier.

To adjust the table gibs (Fig.22):

1. Loosen the table longitudinal and cross-travel lock handles.
2. Loosen or tighten the front and rear cross-travel gib screws (A & B) Fig.22 in an alternating manner to adjust the cross-travel gibs. The table should slide smoothly in the cross direction with no play or looseness. Do not overtighten the gibs or premature slide and gib wear will occur.
3. Lubricate the crossway and gibs with light machine oil.
4. Repeat the process for the longitudinal way gibs using the gib adjustment screws (C & D) on the left and right sides of the table base.

To adjust the head gibs (Fig.23):

1. Remove the two cap screws that secure the top end of the accordion-shaped way cover (C) Fig.23, pull it down to expose the lower gib screw (B), then loosen the vertical head travel lock handles.
2. Loosen or tighten the upper and lower gib screws (A & B) Fig.23 in an alternating manner to adjust the head gibs. The head should slide smoothly with no play or looseness. Do not overtighten the gibs or premature slide and gib wear will occur.
3. Lubricate the headway and gibs.
4. Re-install the accordion shaped way cover.

Maintaining the motor
The bearings inside the motor are shielded and lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no routine maintenance. This motor is equipped with long-life carbon brushes. Brush life expectancy is affected by motor loading.

To inspect and replace the motor brushes (Fig.24):

1. Undo the motor cover by removing the four cap screws that secure it.
2. Unscrew one of the brush caps (B) Fig.24 to expose the brush assembly.
3. Remove the old brush assembly (C). If the brush is worn down to less than 1⁄4” (6mm) then replace it with a new one (replace both carbon brushes). Otherwise, re-install the brush.
4. Replace the brush cap to secure the brush in place.
5. Repeat for the second brush assembly on the other side of the motor (A).
