Operating Instructions
Always use eye protection when operating power
equipment.
ƒ Turn on the motor at the switch mounted on the motor facing the front of
the machine.
ƒ The foot pedal operates in two stages. Pressing down halfway brings the
index pins down. Full depression of the pedal brings down the head to
begin boring.
ƒ If you are drilling an upper, the two drop gauges with handles on the
right should be down.
ƒ Push your board up against the first drop gauge and side stop and then
press the foot pedal down to begin the cut.
ƒ To end the cycle, release the foot pedal.
ƒ Next, push the first drop gauge up and slide the board back against the
second drop gauge. Remember to keep the board pressed against the side
stop. Cycle the machine. Release the foot pedal and the upper is
completed.
ƒ To do a lower, leave the second drop gauge up and follow the same
process as the upper.
