Operation
Installing Drills
Insert the drill into the chuck jaws with about
1" insertion. When using a small drill do not
insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes of
the drill. Make sure that the drill is centered in
the chuck before tightening the chuck with the
key.
A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the
table and col umn will help to keep t he surfaces
clean.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it repl ac ed immediately.
Lubrication
All of the ball beari ngs are pack ed with grease at
the factory. They require no further lubrication.
Positioning the Workpiece
Always place a piece of wood (or plywood) on
the table. This will prevent "splintering" or
making heavy burrs on the underside of the
workpiece as the dril l breaks through. The wood
should contact the left side of the column.
Using the Vise
For the small workpi ece that cannot be cl amped
to the table, use a drill press vise. T he vi se must
be clamped or bolted t o the tabl e. Always use a
back-up piece of scrap wood to cover t he table.
This protects both the table and the drill bit.
Basic Operation
Place materi al to be drilled i n such as way as to
come into contact with the left side of the
column. This prevents the material from
spinning.
If the work pi ece is not large
enough to come into contact with the
column, use a cl amp or drill press vise th at
is securely fastened to the table! Failure to
comply may cause seriou s injury!
Periodically lubricate the gear, rack, table
elevation mechanism, the splines (grooves) in
the spindle, and the teeth of the quill with a #2
tube grease.
Electrical
115 Volt Operation
Referring to Fi gur e 15:
As received f rom the factory, your drill press is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This drill
press, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for
use on a circuit t hat has an outlet and a plug that
looks li ke the one illustrated in ( A). A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter shown in
(B), may be used to connect this plug to a twopole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. This
adapter is not applicable i n Canada. The green
colored rigi d ear, lug, or tab, extending from the
adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly gr ounded outlet box.
Feed the bit into the material with only enough
force to all ow the drill bit to work. Feedi ng too
slowly may cause burning of the workpiece.
Feeding too quickly may cause the mot or to stop
and/or the drill bit to break.
Generally speaki ng, the small er the drill bit, the
greater the RPM requi red. Wood requi res hi gher
speeds than metal. Metal is usually drilled at
slower speeds.
In dusty environments, frequently blow out any
dust that accumulates inside the motor.
Maintenance
Before any intervention on
the machine, disco nnect it f rom the electri cal
supply by pulling out the plug or switching
off the main switch! Failure to co mply may
cause serious inj ury.

230 Volt Operation
Referring to Fi gur e 16:
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following inst r uc tions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. The JET drill press motor has four
numbered leads that are factory connected
for 115V operation, as shown in (A). For
230V operation reconnect the leads as
shown in (B).
3. The 115V attac hm ent plug (C), supplied wit h
the drill press, must be replaced with a
UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V
operation (D) . Contact your local Authorized
JET Service Center or qualified electrician
for proper procedures to install the plug.
The drill press must c om ply with all local and
national codes after the 230-volt plug is
installed.
4. The drill press with a 230-volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as shown in (D). No
adapter is av ailable nor should be used with
the 230-volt plug.
5. The light bulb must be replaced with a bulb
rated for 230 volt operation.
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinanc es.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fi t
the outlet , have the proper outlet i nstalled by a
qualified elec trician.
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipmentgrounding conduct or. If repai r or replac ement 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 the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool i s proper ly grounded. U se onl y
three wire ex tension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and t hree-pole recept acles that
accept the tool ’s pl ug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Extens ion 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 m achine will draw. A n undersized
cord will cause a drop in the line voltage
resulting in power loss and overheating. The
table following shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length and nameplate
ampere rati ng. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
