ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Do not modify provided plug
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.
Extension Cords
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. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. Figure 1 shows the correct size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Grounding
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 that has 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 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. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruction are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly
grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type
plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.
This machine was manufactured to be used with a three-prong grounded
receptacle. A grounding adaptor can be used in some cases to allow use of a
two-contact ungrounded receptacle. Follow the instructions that come with the
adapter to insure proper use. This adaptor is a temporary solution and is to
only be used until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded
outlet. Use of an adaptor increases the chances of electric shock.

Drilling to a Specific Depth
Drilling a blind hole (not all the way through) to a given depth can be done
two ways:
Method 1: Workpiece
- Mark the depth of the hole on the side of the workpiece.
- With the switch “OFF”, bring the drill bit down until the tip is even with the mark.
- Hold the feed handle at this position.
- Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop on the head.
- Spin the upper nut down and tighten against the lower nut.
- The drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance marked on the workpiece.
Method 2: Depth Scale
Note: With the chuck up the tip of the drill bit must be slightly above the top of the workpiece.
- With the switch “OFF”, turn the feed handle until depth stop points to the desired depth on the depth scale and hold the feed handle in that position.
- Spin the lower nut down to contact the depth stop.
- Spin the upper nut against the lower stop nut and tighten.
- The drill bit will stop after traveling the distance selected on the depth scale.
Locking the Chuck at the Desired Depth
- With the switch “OFF”, turn the feed handles until the chuck is at the desired depth. Hold the feed handles at this position.
- Turn the stop nut, located under the depth stop, counterclockwise and upwards, until it is against the depth stop.
- The chuck will now be held at this position when the feed handles are released
Removing Chuck and Arbor
NOTE: Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it falls out.
- With the switch “OFF”, adjust the depth stop nut to hold the drill at a depth of three inches. (See instructions for “locking chuck at desired depth”).
- Align the key holes in the spindle and quill by rotating the chuck by hand.
- Insert the key wedge into the key holes
- Tap the key wedge lightly with a plastic-tipped hammer/ rubber mallet, until the chuck and arbor fall out of the spindle.
Spindle Return Spring
The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main components are
a spring and a notched housing. THE SPRING AND SHOULD NOT BE READJUSTED UNLESS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, this part was properly adjusted at the factory. If it
needs adjustment please see a knowledgeable technician.
Drilling
- Using a clamping device, secure the workpiece to the worktable. To protect the top surface of the workpiece, use a piece of scrap wood between the vise and the workpiece.
- Select the proper drill bit based on the hole size desired. For large holes, drill a pilot hole first, using a smaller diameter bit.
- Select and set the recommended spindle speed. Refer to “Changing Speeds” in the Adjustments section of this manual.
- Settable assembly to desired height. Refer to “Adjusting Table” Height in the Adjustments section.
- If desired, set feed shaft at desired spindle depth. Refer to “Adjusting Depth Gauge” in the Adjustments section.
- Make sure the worktable is free of all loose objects and the bit is not in contact with the workpiece.
- Plug electrical cord into power supply and turn switch ON. Make sure spindle rotates freely.
- Slowly lower drill bit into workpiece. Do not force the bit; let the drill press do the work.
- Once the hole is completed, allow the spindle to return to its normal position. This will automatically raise the chuck and bit.
Drilling Tips
- If a large hole is needed, it is a good idea to drill a smaller pilot hole before drilling the final one. Your hole will be more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last longer.
- If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally to clear the chips.
- When drilling metal, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
- As you increase the drill size, you may need to reduce the spindle speed.
- If drilling a through hole, make sure that the bit will not drill into the table after moving through the workpiece.
Maintenance
General maintenance
- Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
- After using the drill press, clean it completely and lubricate all sliding and moving parts. Apply a light coat of automotive-type paste wax to the table and column to help keep the surfaces clean.
Lubrication
- Lower spindle to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three months.
- Oil the column lightly every two months.
- If cranking becomes difficult, grease gear rack lightly. The ball bearings in the tool are permanently lubricated.
Motor/Electrical
The induction motor is easy to maintain but must be kept clean. Do not allow water, oil, or sawdust to accumulate on or in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and need no further attention.
Head Assembly and Motor Housing
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the head assembly
and/or motor housing.
Pulleys
Should you feel an unusually high level of vibration, the pulleys may not be
tightly secured on the motor and/or spindle shafts. To make sure the pulleys
are properly seated and tight, locate the set screw on each of the pulleys.
Tighten each set screw with the hex key.
Gear Rack
Periodically lubricate the worm gear and gear rack to keep the vertical
movement smooth and to help prolong the life of the drill press.
