Operation (continued)
Feeding the bit

Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.

Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break
the drill bit.

Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.
Maintenance
WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the
power source before maintaining or lubricating the drill press.
Blow out or vacuum sawdust or metal chips that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing,
table, and work surface.
Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust-
free.
The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed.
Pull the spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.
Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.
CAUTION: All servicing of the drill press should be performed by a qualified service technician.
