 WARNING! Ensure that the drill is unplugged from the mains power supply before commencing.
6.1. Installing drill bit
6.1.1. Insert drill bit into chuck jaws to 1" (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and centre bit in chuck before tightening.
6.2. Adjusting the table
6.2.1. to adjust table up or down, loosen lock handle (fig.3.B), then turn bracket handle (fig.3.A). once at correct height tighten lock handle.
6.2.2. to adjust table tilt, remove the locating pin and nut (fig.3.c) - if pin is tight, turn nut clockwise to loosen. Loosen the table arm bolt
(fig.3.D), adjust table to the desired angle using the angle scale, then retighten the table arm bolt. When the table is returned to the
horizontal, replace the locating pin and nut.
6.2.3. to turn the table around the column, loosen the lock handle. turn the table to the desired position and then tighten the lock handle.
6.3. Adjusting the speed
6.3.1. Determine the speed for the drilling operation (see drill speed chart) and, with the motor running, move the speed control handle (turn
anticlockwise to loosen) to that speed as marked on the pulley housing. Lock the lever in position by turning it clockwise and turn off
the motor.
6.4. Positioning the workpiece
6.4.1. rest the workpiece on a piece of wood to prevent the drill bit damaging the table when it breaks through.
the wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column. When the drill bit breaks through the
workpiece, it will contact the wood and cause it to spin. resting the wood against the column will help prevent this.
6.4.2. for small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.
6.5. Setting the drill depth
6.5.1. use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle.
6.5.2. Loosen locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth required. tighten locking screw.
6.5.3. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. the drill will stop at the set depth.
