Note.

When the table is tilted the work piece should be

clamped to the table.

Installing and removing drill bits

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the drill press is switched off

and the plug is removed from the power point before making

any adjustments.
Using the chuck key loosen the chuck (11) so that the

jaws are open wide enough to allow a bit to be inserted.

The chuck is loosened by rotating the collar in an anti-

clockwise direction.

Place the bit into the open chuck as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck by rotating it with the use of the chuck key

in a clockwise direction.
To remove the bit, loosen the chuck by rotating the collar in

an anti-clockwise direction.

Setting the drilling depth

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the drill press is switched

off and the plug is removed from the power point before

making any adjustments.

To change the maximum permitted depth of travel, first

loosen the depth scale nut (20).
Rotate the feed wheel (4) to the desired depth on the depth

scale (12).
Ensuring the drill bit is tight in the chuck use the feed

wheel to lower the spindle until the drill bit just touches the

work piece.

Changing the speed

CAUTION.

Always ensure that the drill press is switched off

and the plug is removed from the power point before making

any adjustments.
The speed of the drill press is

determined by the size of the

pulley steps that the belt is

attached to. Using a smaller

pulley step on the front pulley

means a faster drill speed; using

a larger pulley step on the front

pulley means a slower drill speed.

The table indicates the speed

of the drill in the various belt

positions.
Remove the plug from the mains socket.

Lift up the pulley cover (1).
Loosen belt tension lock knob (2).
Move the belt to the correct pulley step for the desired speed.
Push motor backward until moderate belt tension is

acquired. Tighten the belt tension lock knob.
