SETUP & PREPARATION
ASSEMBLY
WARNING! DURING ASSEMBLY ENSURE THE DRILL PRESS IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
Assembling the drill press
- Carefully remove contents from the packaging.
- Select a firm, level surface on which to assemble the drill press.
- Select the base and align the column over the large hole. Align the holes in the column support with those in the base and secure in place using the 3 column support bolts, spring and flat washers (supplied). Using a 12mm spanner or shifter (not supplied) securely tighten all 3 column support bolts.
- Slide the table support over the column. Using the table support lock, secure the table into the desired position.
- Lift the head assembly and slide it down onto the column as far as it will go. To secure in position install the two head lock screw. Tighten using the 4mm Hex key, rotating in a clockwise direction.
- To fit the feed wheel handles, screw them into the feed wheel hub.
- To fit the 13mm keyed chuck, first place a piece of timber on the table and position the 13mm keyed chuck with the jaws retracted under the drive shaft. Raise the table toward the drive shaft until the 13mm keyed chuck is approximately 25mm from the drive shaft.
- To secure the 13mm keyed chuck to the drive shaft gently lower the drive shaft using the feed wheel handles until the drive shaft is pushed into the rear of the 13mm keyed chuck. A gentle tap on the timber is required to secure the 13mm keyed chuck onto the tapered drive shaft.
- Fit the pulley cover knob to the pulley cover by using the pulley cover knob assembly (supplied).
Installing and removing drill bits
- Using the chuck key, loosen the jaws of the chuck by rotating in an anti-clockwise direction.
- Insert the drill bit fully into the 13mm keyed chuck.
- Whilst holding the drill bit in one hand, rotate the top collar of the 13mm keyed chuck in a clockwise direction. Ensure that you tighten all 3 holes in the 13mm keyed chuck using the chuck key to securely tighten the jaws and hold the drill bit in position.
ADJUSTMENTS
HEIGHT & ANGLE ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, ENSURE THE DRILL PRESS IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS POWER.
Adjusting the table height
- Loosen the table support lock.
- Set the desired table height and tighten the table support lock to secure the table in position.
Adjusting the table angle
The table can be adjusted up to 45° to the left or right.
- Loosen the table support angle bolt (located below the table) by rotating anticlockwise using an 18mm spanner or shifter (not supplied).
- Align and set the desired angle. Tighten the table support angle bolt by rotating in a clockwise direction to secure the table in position.
- CAUTION! WHEN THE TABLE IS ANGLED/TILTED, ENSURE THE WORKPIECE IS CLAMPED TO THE TABLE.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-setting the drilling depth
- Loosen the depth indicator lock nuts by turning in an anti-clockwise direction.
- Ensure the drill bit is secure in the 13mm keyed chuck and tightened correctly. Lower the feed wheel handles to the desired depth using the depth scale.
- Whilst holding the feed wheel handles, tighten the depth indicator lock nuts until they touch the metal stop.
- Lift the feed wheel handles up and then proceed to operate the drill press.
- To disable the depth lock loosen the depth indicator lock nuts and reset to the desired position. Having these in the highest position on the depth rod will provide maximum drilling capacity.
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
Changing the speed
- The speed of the drill press can be changed by adjusting the belt on the pulley system.
- Using a smaller pulley on the spindle/chuck increases the drill speed.
- Using a larger pulley on the spindle/chuck decreases the drill speed.
- Loosen the belt tension knob
- Push the motor towards the head assembly and tighten the belt tension knob.
- To adjust the belt speed, move the belt to the correct pulley step for the speed required. To select a faster drill speed, move the belt up to a smaller step on the spindle/chuck pulley. To select a slower drill speed move the belt down to a larger step on the spindle/chuck pulley. When moving the belt, it is easier to place the belt onto the small pulley first and then turn it onto the larger pulley.
- To apply tension to the belt once it has been fitted to a new speed setting, loosen the belt tension knob. The belt tension will automatically tension the belt to the correct tension, then re-tighten the belt tension knob.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Work area safety
- a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
- c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Electrical safety
- a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
- b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Personal safety
- a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
- e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
