2. Install three turret handles into hub on the side of drill head (Figure 6-12). Screw them in completely; use a wrench on the shaft flats to tighten.
6.2.2 Arbor and Chuck
1. Thoroughly clean entire arbor and inside of chuck (Figure 6-13) with a soft rag and solvent, such as mineral spirits. Any grease or residue in these areas can cause the pieces to separate, creating a safety hazard and potential damage to the tool.

Figure 6-13 2. Slide arbor up into spindle. 3. Firmly push chuck by hand onto taper of arbor. 4. Use chuck key to completely retract jaws (to
prevent damage to jaws). Use two or three sharp taps from a rubber mallet, or a hammer and a block of wood, against bottom of chuck to seat chuck securely onto arbor.
11

Do not use a steel hammer directly against chuck, as this may damage chuck.
7.0 Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. This machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure 7-1. An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

The PM2815BT drill press is rated and prewired for 120V power. The drill press comes with a plug designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 7-1.

Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is in off position.
It is recommended that the drill press be connected to a dedicated, minimum 20-amp circuit with circuit breaker or time-delay fuse marked “D”. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
7.1 Grounding Instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Figure 7-1

7.2 Extension Cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position machines near the power source. If an extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 2 shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Figure 8-1
8.1.2 Swing Table Away
Refer to Figure 8-1.
When drilling into a long workpiece, swing table out of the way and use drill press base as your table. Slots in the base can be used to mount work holding devices.
1. Loosen table locking handle (A).
2. Swing table to desired position. If rack (C) tends to bind, you will need to nudge the top or bottom end of the rack around the column while swinging table. Keeping a light coat of oil on the column will help prevent any binding.
3. Tighten table locking handle (A).
8.1.3 Tilt Table
Refer to Figure 8-2.
1. Loosen hex screw (E) to pivot table to desired angle. Refer to scale and indicator plate (D, Figure 8-1). Tighten hex screw (E) after setting desired angle.

Figure 8-3
8.3 Depth Stop
The depth stop is used for repetitive drilling of holes of identical depth.
Depth stop can be established by one of two procedures (see Figures 8-4 thru 8-6):
Method #1:
1. Raise the table until the drill bit just contacts the top surface of workpiece, as shown in Figure 84.

Figure 8-2

Figure 8-4: method #1
2. Loosen lock knob (F) and rotate the scale ring (H) to the desired depth.
3. Tighten the lock knob (F).
4. The bit can now be repeatedly lowered to the pre-set depth using the turret handles.
5. To release the depth-stop, loosen lock handle (F).
13

Figure 8-5 Method #2: 1. Mark the desired depth of cut on the side of the
workpiece (Figure 8-6). 2. Loosen lock handle (F) and use turret handles
(G) to lower the bit to the mark. Hold turret handle in position. 3. Rotate the scale ring (H) to the measurement that will allow the drill bit to raise and clear the workpiece. 4. Tighten the lock handle (F). 5. The bit will now stop at the marked depth when the turret handles are rotated. 6. To release depth stop, loosen lock handle (F).
Figure 8-6: method #2
8.4 Quill Retraction Lock
The quill can be held in the down position and prevented from retracting, such as for operating a sanding drum or to facilitate removal of chuck and arbor. To lock the quill in down position, proceed as follows (Figure 8-5): 1. Loosen lock handle (F).

2. Rotate turret handles (G) to lower spindle to the point at which it is to be locked, and hold turret handles stationary in this position.
3. Rotate scale ring (H) clockwise all the way until it stops. You should be able to feel and hear when lock ring reaches the end of its rotation.
4. Tighten lock handle (F). You can now release turret handles. The quill will remain in this lowered position until released.
5. To release the quill, loosen lock handle (F).
8.5 Laser Adjustment
Do not look directly into the laser beam or view it directly with optical instruments. See Figure 8-7.
Figure 8-7
The Laser Assembly has been installed and pre-set at the factory. It should, however, be checked for alignment and any adjustments made before operating the drill press. It should be re-checked periodically, as long-term machine vibration may cause it to become misaligned.
Cross Hair Alignment
1. Place a wooden board (J, Figure 8-8) flat on table. Do not allow board to move from this position; use clamps if needed. Bring the bit down until it leaves a slight indention in the board; then raise the bit back up.
2. Loosen the laser setscrew on one side of the drill press head (see Figure 8-9). Using your thumb and forefinger, slightly rotate the laser left or right until it bisects the drill bit indention on the board (K, Figure 8-8). Tighten the laser set screw to lock this laser in place.
3. Repeat step 2 with the laser on the other side of the drill press head. Make sure the second laser bisects the drill bit indention (L, Figure 8-8). The two lasers will now form an “X” with the center of the “X” at the precise point of the drill bit indention.

9.0 Operating Controls
Refer to Figure 9-1.
Main switch ­ (A). Pull out to engage power; push in to stop all functions of the drill press. Spindle coasting will stop within 5 seconds.
Safety key ­ (B). The main switch has a safety feature that prevents unauthorized or accidental starting of the drill press. Push in main switch and slide out safety key. This piece must be re-inserted before the drill press can operate.
Power indicator lamp (green) ­ (C). The lamp is on whenever there is power connected to the Drill Press, not just when the Drill Press is running.

Insert bit (not provided) into chuck jaws with about 1″ insertion. When using a small bit, do not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes of the bit. Make sure bit is centered in chuck before tightening chuck. Insert chuck key into hole in the side of chuck and turn the key clockwise to tighten bit in chuck.
10.2 Positioning Work Piece
Whenever possible, use clamps or work hold-downs to secure the work piece to the table.
Always secure the work piece to prevent it being torn from the operator’s hand. Using the column as a work stop is not recommended; instead, use holding devices such as clamps. When using the

15

table in tilted position, make sure the table is securely tightened and the work piece is clamped sufficiently.
For clean, splinter-free holes, place a piece of scrap wood on the table below the work piece.
Perform operations with a minimum extension of the quill. Adjust table position rather than using excessive quill travel.
Feed bit into the material with only enough force to allow the bit to work. Feeding too slowly may cause burning of the work piece. Feeding too quickly may cause the motor to slow and/or the bit to break.
10.3 General Inspection
Before each operation of your PM2815BT drill press, make a habit of checking that all locking handles, set screws, bolts, etc., are tight on the table and head. Confirm that drill bit is securely inserted inside chuck jaws.
Clear all items, such as tools and rags, away from machine.
Before attempting regular work, get the feel of the drill press by practicing on scrap material. For best results, always use sharp bits and proper feed rates.
10.4 Speed Setting
There are several factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operation, such as kind of material being worked, size of hole, type of drill, and quality of cut desired.
A general rule of thumb is, the smaller the drill, the greater the required RPMs. And the speed should be faster for soft materials and slower for harder materials.

11.0 User-Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on the machine, disconnect it from electrical supply. Unplug machine from the electrical source and press in the main switch to the OFF position and insert the safety key. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Bearings on the drill press are self-contained and permanently lubricated; no further lubrication is needed.
After each use:
Clean sawdust from the table with a brush (do not use bare hands).
Periodically:
Apply a light film of oil to the quill and column. This will reduce wear, prevent rust, and assure ease of operation.
Apply grease to the rack on the column.
Check that bolts are tight and the electrical cord is in good condition.
Exposed metal surfaces of table and base should be kept clean and free of rust. Protective sprays or paste wax are available from most hardware stores. Note: Avoid wax that contains silicone or other synthetic ingredients; these materials can find their way into lumber and make staining and finishing difficult.
Annually:
The quill return spring should receive SAE 20 oil once yearly. Remove the outside cover and apply the oil beneath the coil spring cover (see Figure 111) using a squirt can.
