GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

INTHE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,

groundingprovides a path of least resistance for electric

current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL

local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If itwill not fitthe receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a

qualified electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (withor withoutyellow

stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair

or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to

a live terminal.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if youdo notcompletelyunderstandthe groundinginstructions,

or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a

receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A. FIGURE A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle

that has a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded

receptacle is not available, an adapter (FIGURE B) can

be used to temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a

rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a

permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded

receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits

the use of adapters.

CAUTION: tn all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure have a

certified electrician check the receptacle.

This drill press is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

3-Prong Plug

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 DAMAGED OR WORN CORD

IMMEDIATELY.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting

in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and.

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before

using it. Protect your extension cordsfrom sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be protected

with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. Before connectingthe motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position and the electric current is rated the same as the

current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a Jowervoltage will damage the motor.

INSTALLING DRILL BIT IN CHUCK (FIG. V)

1. With the switch "OFF" and the yellow switchkey

removed, open the chuck jaws (1) using the chuck key (2). Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open

the chuck jaws.

2. Insert the drill bit (3) into the chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping by the jaws, but not far

enough to touch the spiral grooves (flutes) of the drill bit when the jaws are tightened.

3. Make sure that the drill is centered in the chuck.

4. Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten the jaws.

ON / OFF SWITCH (FIG. U) The "ON / OFF' switchhas a removable, yellowplastickey.

With the key removed from the switch, unauthorized and hazardous use by children and others is minimized.

1. To turnthe drillpress "ON", insert key (1) intothe slotof the switch (2), and move the switch upwardto the "ON" position.

2. To turn the drill press "OFF", move the switch

downward.

3. To lock the switch inthe "OFF position, graspthe end,

or yellow part, ofthe switchtoggle, and pullit out.

4. With the switchkey removed,the switchwillnotoperate.

5. If the switch key is removedwhile the ddllpress is

running,it can be turned"OFF" but cannot be restarted

without insertingthe switch key.

Always lock the switch"OFF" when the drill press is not in

use. Remove the key and keep it in a safe place. In the event of a powerfailure, blownfuse, or tripped circuit

breaker,turn the switch"OFF' and removethe key,preventing an accidental startup when the power comes on.

To avoid injury or accident by the chuck key ejecting forcibly from the chuck when the power is turned "ON", use only the self-ejecting chuck key supplied with this drill

press. Always recheck and remove the chuck key before

turning the power "ON".

To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being torn from your hands whiledrilling,you MUST positionthe

workpiece against the LEFT side of the column. If the workpiece or the backupmaterial is not longenough to

reach the column, clamp them to the table, or use the fence providedwith the drillpressto brace theworkpiece. Failure

to secure the workpiece could result inpersonal injury.

USINGTHE FENCE (FIG. W) The fence provides a way of accurately and quickly

setting up the workpiece for more precision or repetitive drillingoperations.

1. Using the centerpunch or sharp nail, make an indentation in the workpiece where you want to drill.

2. Lower the drillbit to align with the indentation on the

workpiece. See =HOLDING A DRILLING LOCATION" page 19.

3. Loosen the knobs(1) and slide the fence back stop (2) firmly against the longside of the workpiece. Tighten

the knobs when in position.

4. Loosenthe wing nut(3) and slide theend stop (4) along the fence until it is firmly against the leftside of the

workpiece. Tighten the wing nut.

5. Check the accuracy by drillinga scrap workpiece. Adjust if needed.

6. Hold with your hand orclamp the top surface ofthe

workpiece firmly to prevent it from liftingoff the table when the bit is raised.

Fig, W

Depth scale method (FIG. Y) NOTE: With the chuck up, the tip of the drill bit must be

just slightly above the top of the workpiece.

!. With the switch "OFF', turn the feed handle until

the pointer (7) points to the desired depth on the depth scale (4). Hold the feed handles inthat position.

2. Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop lug (6) on the head.

3. Spin the upper stop nut (5) against the lower stop nut and tighten.

4. The and drill bit will now stop after traveling the distance selected on the depth scale.

Drilling a hole

Using a center punch or a sharp nail, dent the workpiece

where you want the hole. Before turning the switchon, bring the drillbit down to the workpiece, lining it up with the hole location.Turn the switch on and pull down on

the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.

FEEDING TOO SLOWLY might cause the drill bit to turn. FEEDING TOO RAPIDLY mightstop the motor,cause the

belt or drillto slip, tear the workpiece loose, or break the drillbit.When drilling metal, it will be necessary to

lubricate the tip of the drill bitwith oil to prevent it from overheating.

DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH Drilling a blind hole (not all the way throughworkpiece)

to a given depth can be done two ways:

Workplece method (FIG. X and Y)

1. Mark the depth of the hole on the side of the workpiece (1).

2. With the switch "OFF", bdng the drillbit (2) down until the tip is even with the mark.

3. Hold the feed handle at th!s position.

4. Spin the lower nut (3) down to contact the depth stop lug (6) on the head.

5. Spin the upper nut (5) down and tighten against the lower nut. (3)

6. The drill bitwill now stop after traveling the distance marked on the workpiece.
