POWER SUPPLY

CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY: (230V)

To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted with a BS-approved, non-wireable moulded plug and cable which incorporates a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced an approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked thus . The fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red). Fuse covers are available from your Draper Tools stockist. If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be cut off and destroyed. *The end of the cable should now be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below.

WARNING:
A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket outlet.

WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED .

• Blue – Neutral, Brown – Live.

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown.

EXTENSION LEAD CHART:

Extension lead sizes shown assure a voltage drop of not more than 5% at rated load of tool.

9. Loosen table locking bolt C, tilt table to desired angle. Retighten bolt . When returning table to the level position replace table alignment grub screw. This will automatically position the table surface at 90° to the spindle.

10. A tilt scale M) Fig. 20 is provided on the table bracket casting to indicate the degree of tilt. A cursor line N is also provided on the table to line up with the scale.

ADJUSTING SPINDLE RETURN SPRING

For the purpose of automatically returning the spindle upward after a hole has been drilled, a spindle return spring is provided in the spring housing @ Fig. 22. This spring has been properly adjusted at the factory and should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary. To adjust the return spring, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the drill press from the power supply.
2. Loosen the nut S approximately 1/4″. Do not remove nut S from shaft (R) Fig.22.
3. While firmly holding spring housing D Fig. 23 pull out housing and rotate it until the boss U is engaged with the next notch on the housing. Turn the housing anticlockwise to increase and clockwise to decrease spring tension. Then tighten nut S Fig.23 to hold the housing in place.

IMPORTANT : Nut S Fig. 23 should not contact spring housing T when tight.

DRILLING HOLES TO DEPTH

Where holes are to be drilled to exactly the same depth, a depth stop is provided in the pinion shaft housing Y Fig.24 and is used as follows:

1. Loosen lock handle V Fig. 24 and rotate housing Y until the pointer X lines up with the depth you wish to drill on the scale W. Then tighten lock handle V.
2. All holes will then be drilled to the exact depth, as indicated on the scale.

The following directions will give the inexperienced operator a start on common drill press operations. Use scrap material for practice to get the feel of the machine before attempting regular work.

CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS

Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operations are: Type of material being worked, Size of hole, Type of drill or other cutter, Quality of cut desired. The smaller the drill, the greater the required r.p.m. In soft materials the speed should be higher than for hard materials.

DRILLING METAL

Use clamps to hold the workpiece when drilling in metal. The workpiece should never be held in the hand; the drill may snatch the workpiece at any time, especially when breaking through. If the workpiece is twisted out of the operator’s hand, they may be injured. the workpiece is of irregular shape and cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely blocked and clamped using vee-blocks, clamps or a machine vice.
