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.

OPERATION AND USE

SPINDLE SPEEDS

Sixteen spindle speeds of: 240, 320, 360, 470, 540, 580, 860, 880, 1130, 1270, 1350, 1560, 1990, 2020, 2480 and 3150 are available with your drill. The highest speed is obtained when the belt is on the largest step of the motor pulley and the smallest step of the spindle pulley as shown in Fig. 13.

CHANGING SPEEDS AND ADJUSTING BELT TENSION

  1. Disconnect the drill press from the power supply.

  2. Remove the pulley cover locking screw A Fig. 14 and open the pulley cover.

  3. Release the belt tension by releasing the tension lock knobs B) Fig. 15 and then turn C to release tension on the motor.

  4. Position the two belts D) on the desired steps of the motor, centre and spindle pulleys, as shown in Fig. 15.

  5. After the belt is positioned on the desired steps of the motor and spindle pulleys, turn handle E to retension the motor, tighten lock knobs E Fig. 16. The belt should be tightened just enough to prevent it from slipping. Excessive tension will reduce the life of the belts pulleys and bearings. Correct tension is obtained when the belts can be flexed approximately 25mm out of line midway between the pulleys using light finger pressure.

  6. The table G Fig. 17 can be raised or lowered on the drill press column by loosening the table clamp handle H and turning the table raising and lowering handle •. After the table is at the desired height, tighten handle CH.

  7. The table can be rotated 360° on the table bracket by loosening lock handle J Fig. 18.

  8. The table can be tilted right or left by unscrewing and removing the table alignment stud (K) Fig. 18.

  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.DRAPER-36389-Drill0-Press -fig-14

  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.DRAPER-36389-Drill0-Press -fig-16

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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ALWAYS TURN THE MAIN SWITCH ON THE MACHINE “OFF” AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR TROUBLESHOOTING.
