Grounding
Instructions
ALL GROUNDED, CORDCONNECTED TOOLS: In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accor
dance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug pro
vided—If It will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result In a risk of electric shock. The
green (with or without yellow stripes)
is the equipment-grounding conduc
tor. If repair or replacement of the
electric cord is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electri
cian or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool Is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding plugs
and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damage or
worn cords Immediately.
GROUNDED, CORDCONNECTED TOOLS INTENDED
FOR USE ON A SUPPLY CIRCUIT
HAVING A NOMINAL RATING
LESS THAN 150 VOLTS: This tool
Is Intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Sketch A. The tool has
a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Sketch A. A
temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter Illustrated In Sketches B
and C, may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in Sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet (Sketch A) is not available.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc.
extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet
box. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (Sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
Adaptor shown in sketches B & C is
not for use in Canada.
Motor
Be sure your power supply
agrees with the nameplate marking.
120 volts 50/60 Hz means alternating
current (normal 120 volt, 60 Hz
house current). A voltage decrease
of more than 10% will cause loss of
power and overheating. All B&D
tools are factory tested; if this tool
does not operate, check the power
supply.
Lubrication & Maintenance
Permanently lubricated ball
bearings are used throughout your
Drill Press and periodic lubrication is
not required. In the unlikely event
that your Drill Press should ever
require service, take it to your local
Black & Decker Service Center or
other qualified service facility.
Service Center addresses are listed
on the owner’s registration card
packed with your tool. Do not
attempt to repair the tool yourself.
There are no user-serviceable parts
inside.
A film of any light machine oil on
the unpainted parts of your Drill
Press will prevent surface rust from
forming.
IMPORTANT:
YOUR DRILL PRESS IS
DRIVEN BY A RUBBER BELT. IF
THIS BELT IS EXCESSIVELY
TIGHT ON ITS PULLEYS AND A
PARTICULARLY LARGE DRILL
BIT IS USED, THERE EXISTS THE
POSSIBILITY OF A MOTOR
OVERLOAD WHICH WILL SERI
OUSLY DAMAGE YOUR MOTOR.
WHEN ADJUSTING THE
RUBBER BELT, MAKE IT TIGHT
ENOUGH TO REMOVE MOST OF
THE SLACK BUT MAKE SURE
THAT IT’S ABLE TO SLIP
ENOUGH ON THE PULLEYS TO
PREVENT A MOTOR OVERLOAD
CONDITION.
Unpacking Your Drill Press
Your new drill press carton
contains the four main elements of
your drill press, plus the hardware
needed to assemble it. Each of the
four main elements is wrapped in a
plastic bag and placed in its own
pocket in the foam carton liner.
The four main elements of your drill
press are:
1. The Motor and Drive Unit
Page 5
2. The Base Plate
3. The Column Assembly
4. The Work Table
Before beginning assembly,
examine the contents of the card
board box and the plastic bag
packed with your Drill Press. The
box contains the chuck and chuck
key and the plastic bag contains all
the rest of the hardware needed to
assemble the tool.
The contents of the plastic bag
are displayed In Figure 1. Take a
few minutes and become familiar
with the nomenclature used to
describe the various components,
a. Column Bolts (3)
Table Clamping Screw (1)
b.
Handles (3)
c.
Chuck (1)
d.
Hex Wrench (1)
e.
f. Chuck Key (1)
Install the Work Table down
over the column, machined surface
up, as shown in Figure 3. Insert the
Table Clamping Handle into the
collar at the back of the work Table,
as shown in the figure. Make sure
that you insert the threaded end of
the handle THROUGH the un
threaded side of the collar BEFORE
engaging the threads. Position the
Work Table about midway on the
column and directly over the Base
Plate.
Install the Motor and Drive Unit
on top of the column and make sure
that it fits firmly against the shoulder
in the column. Position the drive
spindle directly over the Work Table
and tighten the set screw in the side
of the Motor and Drive Unit, as
shown in Figure 4.
Install the three handles, as
shown in Figure 5.
The small cardboard box stored
with the plastic hardware bag
contains the Chuck and Chuck Key.
Before installing the chuck thor
oughly clean the tapered spindle
and the mating cavity in the chuck
with a non-flammable solvent, on a
rag, to remove the oily residue on
each surface. To install the Chuck,
press it firmly up onto the tapered
drive spindle. You may tap It a few
times with a plastic hammer to
assure a firm fit. DO NOT USE A
STEEL HAMMER. No threads are
involved. NOTE: The Chuck Key has
a built-in spring to keep it from being
accidentally left in the chuck. Do not
disable or circumvent this safety
feature in any way. To do so will
create a potentially hazardous
condition
Assembly
Using the 3 Column Bolts,
install the Column Assembly to the
Base Plate, as shown in Figure 2.
Place the Base Plate/Column
Assembly on a smooth, flat surface.
Controls
SWITCH: The switch is located on
front of the drill press, as shown in
Figure 6. To turn the tool “ON”, flip the
toggle upward and to turn the tool
“OFF’, flip the toggle down. The switch
will stay in either position without being
held. For safety the red switch button
may be removed when the switch is in
the off position. This will prevent
unintentional starting by others.

SPEED— DRIVE BELT
ARRANGEMENT: TURN OFF AND
UNPLUG DRILL PRESS BEFORE
MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTEC
TION. Your drill press is capable of
running at fiv^ different speeds,
each one determined by the
arrangement of the drive belt and
pulley system inside the top of the
Motor and Drive Unit. A handy chart
that describes how to select a
particular speed is attached to the
inside of the drive belt cover.
To select a speed, loosen the
locking nut and screw the belt
tension bolt into the drive unit
(Figure 7) .Push the motor forward
to loosen the drive belt. Adjust the
belt as desired, referring to the chart.
Retighten the belt by pushing back
on the motor. Back the belt tension
bolt out of the drive unit until the belt
is snug on the pulleys. Tighten
locking nut to motor housing to lock
the belt tension bolt. NOTE: It is not
necessary to put great pressure on
the drive belt. Just remove most of
the slack. The belt should be able to
slip in case the drill bit jams in the
hole.
both up next to the pointer. Lower
the chuck using one of the three
handles to the desired depth. Hold
the chuck in place while you screw
down the lower hex nut on the
Drilling Depth Control Assembly, as
shown in Figure 8. Screw the nut
down until it contacts the boss
protruding from the side of the Drive
Unit shown in Figure 8.
Lock the nut in place by
screwing the top hex nut down
against the lower one. Release the
handle letting the chuck rise to its
full height.
When you^drill a hole and the
lower hex nut “bottoms ouf on the
boss, the drill bit will continue to
rotate but will go no deeper.
DRILLING DEPTH CONTROL:
On the left side of the Motor and
Drive Unit is the Drilling Depth
Control Assembly. To set the drilling
depth (from 0 to 2"), first raise the
chuck to its full up position. (It
should do this automatically with
spring pressure.)
Adjust by hand, the depth
pointer shown in Figure 8 so that it
points to zero and rotate both hex
nuts counterclockwise until they are
Additional Features
TILTING THE WORK TABLE:
The Tilting Work Table is designed to
tilt up to 45° left and right and includes a
precision scale marked In degrees
from 0 to 45°, as shown in Figure 9.
To adjust the table to some angle
other than 0° (horizontal), loosen the
large bolt located under the Work
Table, as shown in Figure 10.
Page 7
ROTATING WORK TABLE: For
drilling applications where you need
a little extra height, the Work Table
can be rotated out of the way by
loosening the table clamping handle
and pushing the table to one side.
This allows you to clamp the
workpiece to the Base Plate and,
thus, get a little more height for taller
workpieces.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT YOU FIRMLY
MOUNT YOUR DRILL PRESS TO
A SOLID WORKBENCH OR
OTHER RIGID FRAME.
ROTATING MOTOR AND
DRIVE UNIT: The Motor and Drive
Unit rotates about the column in
order that you may drill objects that
are off the table such as that shown
in Figure 11. To rotate the Motor and
Drive Unit, use the hex wrench
provided and loosen the hex screw
that clamps to Motor & Drive Unit to
the column. Rotate as desired and
re-tighten the screw.
Bench Mounting
NOTE: WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT YOU FIRMLY
MOUNT YOUR DRILL PRESS TO
A SOLID WORKBENCH OR
OTHER RIGID FRAME.Two holes
are provided In the base for this
purpose. Use large wood screws if
mounting to wood or appropriate
machine screws and nuts if mount
ing to metal.
To enhance the tool’s portabil
ity, It can be mounted to a piece of
5/8" or thicker plywood which can, In
turn, be “C” clamped to your work
surface as shown in figure 12 below.
Tilt the table as desired and
align the “0” mark on the table with
the appropriate mark on the scale.
Tighten the bolt to hold the table at
the desired angle.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT YOU FIRMLY
MOUNT YOUR DRILL PRESS TO
A SOLID WORKBENCH OR
OTHER RIGID FRAME.
ALWAYS CLAMP THE
WORKPIECE.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION.

Speed Selection
The five speeds of which your drill press is capable will handle almost any
drilling project you may encounter. Generally speaking, you should use lower
speeds for drilling in metals and higher speeds for drilling in wood and wood
compositions^^Use the Speed Selection Chart as a guide in determining the
best drilling speed for your application. Always experiment in scrap material if
possible.
As a general rule you should drill pilot holes for metal drilling (except
when using hole saws). Also use cutting oil with most metals except case iron
and brass which should be drilled dry.
When using a twist bit for drilling wood or wood compositions, it will be
necessary to pull the bit from the hole frequently to clean chips from the flutes.
Care should be exercised when drilling plastics to avoid melting them.
ALWAYS CLAMP THE WORKPIECE.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

These four steps constitute the
actual drilling of a hole. Before you
start step 1, select the proper speed,
set the drilling depth control, position
the work table so that the desired
drilling depth can be attained (not
too low), and centerpunch the
position of the hole to be drilled.
Drill in the center of the Work
Table so that the drill bit will pass
harmlessly through the clearance
hole.

Extension Cords
Tools that have 3-wlre cords requiring grounding must only be used with
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole recep
tacles. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recom
mend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension
will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord
marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work. (The letters “WA” on the
cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.)
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16
gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one exten
sion to make the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:
