This drill press is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR DRILL PRESS, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.

110V OPERATION

As received from the factory, your drill press is ready to run for 110V operation. This drill press is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.3.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the following table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.-American Wire Gauge) extension cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole  receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig. 4 for wire length and size.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BASE AND COLUMN ASSEMBLY (FIG.6)

1. Position the base on the floor. Remove the protective covering and discard.

2. Remove protective sleeve from the column and discard. Place the column assembly on the base, align the holes in the column support with the holes in the base.

3. Locate four long bolts from the parts bag.

4. Install a bolt in each hole through the column support and the base and tighten with the adjustable wrench.

5. Locate table crank and support lock in loose parts box.

6. Install support lock from left side into the table support and tighten by hand. (Fig.7).

7. Install table crank assembly and tighten set screw with M3 hex. key.
   Do not overtighten. The set screw should be tightened against the flat section of the shaft.
   NOTE: To minimize crank backlash, tighten support lock, rotate elevation worm shaft clockwise, then assemble crank tight against the table support and tighten set screw.

8. Check column collar for proper adjustment. The collar should not be angled on the column and it should be positioned so the rack will slide freely in the collar when the table is rotated 360º around the column table. If re-adjusted, only tighten set screw enough to keep the collar in place. NOTE: To avoid column or collar damage, do not overtighten set screw. (Fig.8).

INSTALLING THE TABLE (Fig.9,10)

1. Loosen support lock and raise table support by turning the crank clockwise until the support is at a working height level. Tighten support lock.

3. Using a hex. wrench, tighten the head set screws on the right side of the head.

PULLEY ALIGNMENT AND SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Checking pulley alignment

Warning: To reduce the risk of injury due to accidental starting always turn drill press off and remove safety key before making belt adjustments.

The pulleys and motor are assembled at the factory and should require no further adjustment. If the pulleys or motor are removed for service, follow the pulley alignment instructions below.

1. Place a straightedge such as a piece of wood, metal, or framing square across the top of the pulleys.
2. The top of all three pulleys should touch the straightedge.
3. If not, a) Loosen motor mount nuts. b) Move motor until the pulleys are in line. c) Retighten the motor mount nuts.

NOTE: To avoid rattles or other noises, motor frame must not touch lower belt guard.

Speed adjustment

1. Release belt tension lock handles located on each side of the drill press by turning them counterclockwise.
2. Loosen belt tension by turning the belt tension handle clockwise.
3. Use the speed chart inside the belt guard to choose the speed for the drilling operation. Install belts in the correct position for the desired speed. The longer of the two belts is always positioned  between the spindle pulley and the idler pulley.

NOTE: Refer to inside belt guard for recommended drilling speeds.

TENSIONING BELT

1. Apply tension to the belt by turning belt tension handle counterclockwise until belt deflects approximately 1/2” by thumb pressure at its center.
2. Tighten belt tension lock handles. NOTE: Over tensioning belt may cause the motor not to start or damage bearings.
3. If belt slips while drilling, reajust belt tension.

INSTALLING THE CHUCK

1. Clean out the tapered hole in the chuck, clean the spindle nose with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no foreign particles sticking to the surfaces. The slightest piece of dirt on the spindle nose or on the chuck will prevent the chuck from seating properly. This will cause the drill to “wobble”.
2. Slide the chuck up over the arbor as illustrated in Fig.15.
3. Unlock the table support lock and raise the table so that it is two inches below the tip of the chuck.
4. Turn the chuck sleeve clockwise and open jaws in chuck completely.

2. Align key holes in spindle and quill by rotating the chuck by hand.
3. Insert key drift into key holes.
4. Tap key drift lightly until the chuck and arbor fall out of the spindle.
   NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it falls out. (Fig.17).

INSTALLING LIGHT BULB

1. Install a light bulb (no larger that 60Watts) into the socket inside the head. (Fig.18).

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE TABLE SQUARE TO THE HEAD
NOTE: The combination square must be “true”.

1. Insert precision round steel rod or straight drill bit approximately 3” long into the chuck and tighten.
2. With the table raised to work height and locked to the column, place the combination square flat on the table beside the rod or drill bit.(Fig.19).
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw under the bevel lock with 3mm hex. key, then loosen the table bevel lock bolt with the open wrench included. This adjustment is located under the work table.
4. Align the table square to the rod or drill bit by pivoting the table they are in line.
5. Retighten table bevel lock.
6. Retighten set screw.

BEVEL SCALE
NOTE: The bevel scale has been included to provide a quick method for beveling the table to approximate angles. If precise accuracy is necessary, a square, or other precision measuring tool should be used to position the table.

1. To use the bevel scale do the following:
   a) Loosen set screw and table bevel lock (See step 3 above for reference).
   b) Move table so that desired angle on the bevel scale is straight across from the zero line on the table.
   c) Retighten table bevel lock and set screw.

DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH
To drill a blind hole (not all the way through) to a given depth, proceed as follows.

1. Mark the depth of the hole on the workpiece.
2. Loosen the depth scale lock.
3. With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit down until the tip of the lips of the drill bit are even with the mark.
4. Turn the depth scale counterclockwise until it stops moving.
5. Tighten the depth scale lock.
6. The drill bit will stop at this depth until the depth scale is readjusted.

ANOTHER WAY-DEPTH SCALE

1. With the power OFF, loosen the depth scale lock.
2. Place workpiece on table. Adjust table until the tip of the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece, turn the depth scale counterclockwise to zero.
3. Turn the depth scale clockwise until the depth scale indicator points to the desired drilling depth on the depth scale.
4. Tighten the depth scale lock.
5. The chuck or drill will now be stopped after traveling downward the distance selected on the depth scale.

AJUSTEMENTS & OPÉRATIONS

LOCKING CHUCK AT DESIRED DEPTH

1. With the switch off, loosen the depth scale lock.
2. Turn the feed handles until the chuck is at the desired height. Hold the feed handles at this position.
3. Turn the depth scale clockwise until it stops.
4. Tighten the depth scale lock.
5. The chuck will now be held at the depth when the feed handles are released.

BASIC DRILL PRESS OPERATIONS INSTALLING DRILL BITS
Insert drill bit into chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping of the chuck jaws (fig.23). The jaws are approximately 1” long. When using a small drill bit, do not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes (spiral grooves) of the drill bit. Make sure the drill bit is centered in the chuck before tightening the chuck with the key.
Tighten the drill bit sufficiently, so that it does not slip while drilling. Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.

POSITIONNING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of the drill bit is just a little above the top of the workpiece.
Always place backup 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 bit breaks through. To keep the backup material from spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column, as illustrated in fig.24.

WARNING! If the backup material is not long enough to reach the left side of the column, clamp it to the table. Failure to do this could result in personnal injury.
For small workpieces that can’t be clamp to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory) (Fig.25). See authorized KING CANADA retailer for more information on purchasing drill press vises.
WARNING! The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to reduce the risk of injury from spinning work or vise or tool breakage.

TILTING TABLE
To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position (Fig.26), loosen the set screw under the table bevel lock with a 3mm hex. key. Loosen bevel lock using open end wrench included. Tilt the table to the desired angle by reading the bevel scale. Retighten bevel lock and set screw.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to the table before operating the drill press with the table tilted.
To return the table to its original position, loosen the set screw and bevel lock, tilt the table back to zero on the bevel scale and retighten set screw, then retighten the bevel lock.

HOLE LOCATION
Make a dent in the workpiece where you want the hole to be, using a center punch or a nail. Before turning the switch on, bring the drill down to the workpiece and line up with the dent in the workpiece and clamp into place.

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 or break the drill bit. When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill bit with cutting oil or motor oil to prevent burning of the drill tip.

ADJUSTING THE QUILL RETURN SPRING
NOTE: The return spring tension is set at the factory and should not require further adjustment.

1. With the chuck at its highest possible position, turn the depth scale clockwise until it stops and tighten the depth scale lock. This will prevent the quill from dropping while tensioning the spring.
2. Lower the table for additional clearance.
3. Work from the left side of the drill press.
4. Place screwdriver in the lower front notch of the spring cap, and hold it in place while loosening and removing the outer nut (only).
5. With screwdriver remaining in the notch, loosen inner nut (approx. 1/8”) until the notch disengages from the boss on the head. Do not remove this nut.
6. Carefully turn screwdriver counterclockwise and engage the next notch in the boss. Do not remove screwdriver.
7. Tighten standard nut with wrench only enough to engage boss. Do not over tighten as this will restrict quill movement.
8. Move stop nuts and depth pointer to upper most position and check tension while turning feed handles.
9. If there is not enough tension on the spring, repeat steps 4-8 moving only one notch each time and checking tension after each repetition.
10. Proper tension is achieved when the quill returns gently to the full up position when released from 3/4” depth.
11. When there is enough tension after checking, replace outer nut and tighten inner nut. Do not over tighten against the inner nut.
12. Check quill while feeding to have smooth and unrestricted movement. If movement is too tight, loosen outer nut and slightly loosen inner nut until unrestricted. Retighten outer nut.

MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING

LUBRICATION
All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication. Periodically lubricate the splines (Grooves) in the spindle and the rack (Teeth of the quill).
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the switch “OFF” and remove the plug from the power source before maintaining or lubricating your drill press.
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor. After operation, remove chips or dirt on the machine and apply a coat of furniture- type paste wax to the table and the column, this will help keep the surfaces clean and free of rust.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DUAL LASER GUIDE SYSTEM

USING/ADJUSTING DUAL LASER GUIDE SYSTEM
WARNING! Do not look directly at the laser beams. Do not aim the laser beams at any person or any object other than your workpiece. Do not deliberately aim the beams into the eye of a person for any length of time. Do not use the laser guide system aimed at a reflective workpiece, wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. This is to avoid the laser beams from being reflected back at the operator.

Using the dual laser guides system;
Your laser guides are battery operated (2 x AA batteries) and must be installed inside the laser switch/battery cover (A) Fig.1. To remove this cover pressure must be applied to the top and bottom, then you simply pull gently on the cover. Do not yank the switch off, internal wires are attached to it. When positioning the batteries, make sure they are positioned with the correct polarity. Replace the laser/battery cover. Turn the laser switch on to make sure the dual laser guide system works.

1. Mark the drilling point on your workpiece.
2. Plug in the drill press and turn the motor on.
3. Switch on the laser guides and align the drilling point with the intersecting point of the laser guides.
4. Secure workpiece to the table with a vise or clamps.
5. Slowly feed the drill bit into the workpiece.
6. Switch off the dual laser guide system on completion of the drilling operation.

Adjusting the dual laser guide system;
If adjustments to the laser guides are necessary, proceed as follows;

1. Loosen set screw (A) Fig.2 (one set screw for each laser) and then slightly turn laser guide (B) Fig.2 in either direction, this will reposition the laser beams trajectory, adjust the position of the laser guides this way until both beams intersect at the point where the drill bit touches the workpiece. Retighten set screw (A) after each adjustment.

Caution: Remove the laser guide batteries from the battery compartment if you plan on storing your drill press for more than a few days. If left in position, the batteries could leak and damage the laser guide assembly. Damage due to leaking batteries is not covered under warranty.
