Fig.5.

CHUCK GUARD ASSEMBLY

NOTE: This task should be carried

out before the chuck is
installed.

1. Assemble the transparent guard
to the guard support using the
small bolt/nut and the two small
screws provided. (A small x-head
screwdriver will be required.)

2. Slide the Chuck Guard over the
Quill Shaft and nip up the pinch
bolt, temporarily, with the pinch
bolt facing the front (see fig 6).
Ensure the Quill Shaft/Spindle is at
the top of its travel.

INSTALLING THE CHUCK

arbor as it falls.

BELT TENSIONING

1. Slacken the two belt tension

locking screws (A Fig 9), then lever

the motor, on its bracket, away
from the head, so that tension is
applied to the belt.

2. Tension is correct when the belt
deflects by approx. ½” at the
centre of its run when using
reasonable thumb pressure. Lock
the motor in this position by
tightening the two locking screws
(A).

NOTE: If the belt should slip whilst drilling, adjust the belt tension.

CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE MICROSWITCH

When closing the cover, check the operation of the micro-switch. It is
important that it operates immediately the cover is pulled open, in order to

prevent the machine from operating........NOT when the cover is opened

sufficiently for fingers to be inserted. If necessary, bend the actuating tab,
which is attached to the cover, to ensure this.

SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

TABLE

The table may be raised, lowered or
swivelled about the column, by
slackening off the table support
locking handle, adjusting the table
position accordingly and re­tightening the handle.

It may also be tilted by loosening the
screw which secures the table to its
mount beneath the table, tilting the
table to the required position and
re-tightening the bolt shown in Fig 11.

A bevel scale is provided on the
table mounting, (measured in
degrees), to assist in setting the
required angle. However, for greater
accuracy the use of a protractor is
recommended.

For all normal operations, the table
should be set to 0°. This should be
checked with a set-square.

To check to ensure the drill is entirely
perpendicular to the table, install a large drill bit in the chuck, place a square
on the table, and bring it up to the drill. Adjust the table tilt if necessary, so that
the table is perfectly square.

12

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [e-mail] or [e-mail]

SPINDLE DEPTH STOP

Located around the spindle feed
shaft is a depth stop collar carrying a
graduated scale (A, Fig.13). The
collar is capable of turning about the
shaft and may be locked in place by
locking screw B. The graduations are
metric (mm).

To set a drilling depth:

With the drill bit installed and
tightened securely, lower it...WITH THE
POWER OFF, so that it lightly contacts the work, and hold in that position with
one hand whist slackening the locking screw (B) and rotating the scale (A)
ANTICLOCKWISE until it stops.

The zero mark should now be opposite the pointer (C).

To check to ensure the table is square to the drill, insert a piece of straight
round bar in the chuck, place a square on the table and bring it up to the
round bar. Adjust the table tilt if necessary so that the table is correctly aligned

Maintaining a light pressure on the drill bit, back off the scale ring until the
value of the desired depth of cut (mm), is opposite the pointer, then tighten
the locknut (B).

The drill is now set to drill holes to your desired depth. i.e. Providing your
workpiece is level and flat, you may drill a series of holes, each to the same
depth, quickly and accurately.

CHANGING DRILL (SPINDLE) SPEED

Before changing the speeds, ensure the machine is switched OFF, and
disconnected from the power supply.

1. Open the pulley cover.

2. Slacken off the belt tension
locking screw, to relieve any
tension on the drive belt.

3. Consult the chart inside the pulley
cover, and position the belt on the
pulley’s according to the spindle
speed required.

4. When the belt has been correctly
positioned, re-tension by levering
the motor away from the head, until the belt deflects by approx. ½” at its
centre when using reasonable thumb pressure. Lock the motor in this
position with the belt tension locking screws.

OPERATION

1. Insert the drill into the jaws of the chuck by approx 1", ensuring that the jaws
do not touch the flutes of the drill. Before tightening the chuck, ensure that
the drill is centred within the jaws.

2. Ensure the table height and position is set, so that drill travel is sufficient for
the job in hand.

3. Ensure the work is securely clamped or held in a drill vice, bolted to the
table. Never hold it with bare hands. Personal injury may be caused if the
workpiece is whipped out of the operator’s hand, and damage to the
machine incurred if the work strikes the column.

If the workpiece is of irregular shape and cannot be laid flat on the table, it
should be securely blocked and clamped.

Any tilting, twisting, or shifting, results not only in a rough hole, but also
increases drill bit breakage.

4. For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press
vice. The vice must be clamped or bolted to the table.

5. When drilling completely through
wood, always position a piece of
scrap wood between the
workpiece and the table to
prevent splintering on the
underside of the workpiece as the
drill breaks through. The scrap
piece of wood must make
contact with the left side of the
column as shown in Fig 15 to
prevent it moving.

6. In addition, set the depth of drill travel, so that the drill cannot possibly
come into contact with the table, or align the table so that the hole in its
centre is in line with the drill bit.

7. When completely satisfied that the setup is sound, lower the chuck guard
into place, and switch the machine ON by pushing the ‘I’ button. To switch
OFF, push the ‘O’ button, see Fig 16.

NOTE: As a safety feature, the ON/OFF switch is a ‘No Volt Release’ type.

Therefore, if the power is interrupted whilst the machine is
switched ON, it will not automatically start when the power is
restored.

CUTTING SPEEDS

Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operation are:

• Type of material being worked

• Size of hole

• Quality of cut desired

• Type of drill

Generally, the smaller the drill, the greater the required RPM. In soft material,
the speed should be higher than for hard metals.

As a guide, the drill speed for a given drill bit size, is according to the table
below:
