B) Adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop

A Drill Bit Depth Stop is provided to stop the Drill Bit forward
motion and control the Drill Feed Cylinder cycle. When the
head of the Drill Bit Depth Stop fully engages the Depth
Control Switch the forward motion of the Drill Bit is stopped
and reversed to complete the drilling cycle. Before adjusting
the Drill Bit Depth Stop make certain your machine is
DISCONNECTED from the AIR SUPPLY and/or ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY. Cycle the machine via the foot switch several
times to remove air from the system. Without an air supply
or electrical supply you can be certain the machine will not
accidentally engage while you are performing maintenance.

Step 1: Loosen the Lock Nut on the Depth Control Adjuster.

Adjust the Depth Control Adjuster the approximate

position.
Step 2: Push the Drill Bit Drive Assembly forward until the

Drill Bit pilot point is slightly away from the Fence. For

1/2” and 3/4” material, push your drill bit up to be

approximately 1/8” from the tip to the edge of the

fence.

For 1-1/2” material, push your drill bit up to be

approximately 1” from the tip to the edge of the fence.

Step 3: Adjust the Drill Depth Control Adjuster until the Head

fully depresses the plunger on the Depth Control

Switch.
Step 4: Tighten the Lock Nut to lock the Depth Control

Adjuster in position.

Step 5: Pull the Drill Bit Drive Assembly back into the
resting

position.

A) Adjusting the Fence Setting

The Fence can be adjusted to align the pocket hole to the center
of material of different thicknesses. When adjusting the Fence
make sure that the Fence remains perpendicular to the Guide
Plate. A Reference Scale has been provided to approximate the
fence setting for 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1-1/2” thick material. These
correspond to the “A”, “B”, and “C” lines on the Reference Scale.

Step 1: Loosen the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws contained

below the surface of the Fence.

Step 2: Align the Fence perpendicular to the Guide Plate for

the setting that corresponds to the material thickness.

Step 3: Tighten the (4) Socket-head Cap Screws to lock the

Fence into position.

Swing Stops

Two Swing Stops are provided to assist in drilling pocket holes
in the same location on multiple work pieces of the same
dimension. When the Swing Stop is not used, it will pivot out
of the way to allow the work piece to slide underneath and rest
against the fence. To change the location of the Swing Stop
simply loosen the Knob, move to the new location and tighten
the Knob to lock the Swing Stop in position.

NOTE: Always remember as your drill bit gets shorter
from sharpening, that you will need to compensate for
that distance too.
