SPECIFICATION

CONTENTS
Unpack the parts listed below and check to ensure they are in good condition. Any queries must be reported to your stockist immediately.

1. Head Assembly
2. Base
3. Chuck and Key
4. Column with Flange
5. Feed Handles and Knobs (3)
6. Table and Bracket
7. Bolts and Washers
8. Safety Guard

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Figures are illustrative and may differ in detail from your drill.

• Place the column assembly on the base, align the holes and secure it with the three screws and washers provided.
• Install the table onto the column and tighten the clamp screw (fig.1.A).
• Carefully place the head assembly over the column and slide it into position. Align head with base.
• Tighten the two set screws on the right side of the head to lock it into position (fig.2).
• Screw the three feed handles and knobs into the pinion shaft (fig.3.A).
• To install the chuck open the chuck jaws completely by turning the chuck key counter-clockwise. Place a piece of wood on the drill table (to prevent the chuck from getting damaged).
• Fit the chuck to the protruding end of the spindle and hold it in place (fig.3.B).
• Turn the feed handles to bring the nose of the chuck down onto the wood (fig.3). Firmly pull on the feed handle to seat the spindle taper in the chuck.
• The safety guard mounting is pre-fitted to the drill head. Remove the three small screws in the guard support channel, insert the guard and refit the screws, through the holes provided in the guard. Note that the guard is in two parts held together by two screws and wing nuts.
• For packaging purposes, these are supplied with the wing nuts on the inside of the guard. Before use remove screws and wing nuts and refit so that wing nuts are on the outside and accessible.

DRILL MOUNTING

• For stability and safety, the drill base must be securely bolted to the workbench.
•  Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the drill together with the weight of the heaviest likely workpiece.

OPERATION

INSTALL DRILL BIT
WARNING! Ensure the drill is unplugged from the main power supply before commencing.

• Insert the drill bit into chuck jaws to 1” (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and centre bit in chuck before tightening jaws with the chuck key.

ADJUSTING THE TABLE

• To adjust the table up, down or around the column, loosen the clamp bolt (fig.1.A). Move the table to the required position and tighten the clamp bolt (fig.1.A).
• To adjust the table tilt, loosen the work table bolt (fig.1.B), adjust it to the desired angle using the angle scale, and then re-tighten it.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED

• Open the pulley cover and loosen the belt tension lock screw (fig.4.A).
• Choose the speed for the drilling operation (see drill speed chart) and move the belt to the correct position for that speed, as shown on the chart inside the pulley cover.

BELT TENSION
With the belt tension lock screw (fig.4.A) loosened the motor plate spring will automatically give the correct belt tension (belt give of approx. 13mm under finger pressure). Tighten the lock screw and close the pulley cover.

POSITIONING THE WORKPIECE

• Use a piece of wood to rest the workpiece. The drill bit may break through the work piece and damage the table otherwise.
• The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column.
• When the drill bit breaks through the workpiece, it will contact the wood and cause it to spin.
• Resting the wood against the column will prevent this.
• For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to the table.

SETTING DRILL DEPTH

• Use the scale at the front of the drill head.

• Loosen lock nuts on the threaded rod and adjust so that at the desired drill depth, nuts contact the head
  lug and prevent further drill movement. Tighten lock nuts.

•  When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill feed will stop at the set depth.

GUARD
Always adjust guard length, by loosening the wing nut at each side (fig.5.A), to give maximum protection before starting to drill.

DRILL SPEEDS
The chart below shows recommended drill speeds for various bit diameters and materials. Select the available drill speed that is the same as, or nearest to, the one recommended for the task at hand.
