3.0 IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS DRILL PRESS.

1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.

2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.

4. This drill press is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a drill press, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this drill press for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.

6. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses or face shield while using this drum sander. (Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.)

7. Before operating this drill press, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended. Do not wear gloves.

8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.

9. Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products generates wood dust and other substances known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling dust generated from wood products or use a dust mask or other safeguards to avoid inhaling dust generated from wood products.

10. Wood products emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6)

11. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

12. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.

13. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.

14. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

16. Do not start the drill press while the cutting tool is in contact with the workpiece.

17. Secure workpiece firmly against table and make sure table is locked, before drilling.

18. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after completion of maintenance.

19. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

21. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

22. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.

23. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

24. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

25. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall into the bit or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

26. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.

27. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

28. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating, and changing accessories.

29. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

30. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

The specifications in this manual were current at time of publication, but because of our policy of continuous improvement, JET reserves the right to change specifications at any time and without prior notice, without incurring obligations.

6.0 Setup and assembly

Read and understand all

assembly instructions before attempting assembly. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

6.1 Unpacking

Separate all parts from the packing material. Check each part against sect. 6.2 Shipping contents and make certain that all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. Report any shortages or shipping damage to your JET distributor.

Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have been factory-coated with a protectant. Remove this with a soft rag moistened with a light solvent, such as kerosene or WD-40 and do not use gasoline, paint thinner or acetone – these will damage plastic components and painted surfaces.

After assembly, exposed metal surfaces on the drill press should be periodically coated with a light application of paste wax or other rust-protectant.

6.2 Shipping contents

6.3 Additional tools required for

assembly

(not provided)

Rubber mallet (or hammer and wood block) 13mm wrench (for table pin nut) Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver

6.4 Location

The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough space around drill press to allow for operations and any adjustments or servicing.

6.5 Assembly

Do not connect drill press to

power source until machine has been fully assembled.

1. Place the base upon a level floor. It may be secured to the floor with lag screws (not provided) through the two holes in the base. Refer to Figure 1 for hole spacing.

If you do not wish permanent attachment to the floor, the drill press can be bolted to a plywood panel which will serve as an expanded base and further stabilize the machine. Use a high grade of plywood (not particle board) at least 3/4" thick. It should be large enough to prevent vibration, sliding or moving of drill press during operation. Do not use a mobile base with this machine.

2. Make sure the set screw (Figure 4) is tight against the column. Tighten further if needed, using a 5mm hex key.

Figure 5

5. Set column assembly upright.

6. Insert the worm shaft (HP6, Figure 6) through the hole in the table bracket as far as it will go, meshing the worm with the teeth on the gear.

Figure 4

3. Lay the column assembly down on an elevated surface (such as the included polystyrene packaging). Attach base to column foot with four M8x50 socket head cap screws and four 8mm flat washers (HP8/HP9, Figure 5), using a 6mm hex key. NOTE: Align base and foot so that their edges are flush.

4. Tighten screws firmly.

Figure 6

7. Position rack (F, Figure 7) into the sl ot in table bracket. The longer flat portion of the rack should be at the top, the short flat portion at the bottom. Mesh the rack teeth with the worm gear in the table bracket.

8. W ith the aid of a second person, hold the rack in the slot, while setting the table bracket over the top of the column. Then slide table bracket and rack together down the column until the lower end of the rack rests in the lip of the holder, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7

9. Place stop collar (G, Figure 8) onto column and slide it down over top end of rack. Orient the stop collar so that chuck key holder (H) is in desired position around the column.

10. Tighten set screw (J) with a 4mm hex key.

11. Push chuck key into holder (inset, Figure 8)

Figure 9

The head assembly is

heavy! To avoid injury and/or damage to equipment, lift the head onto the column only with additional assistance!

15. With the aid of a second person, carefully lift the head assembly and place it onto the column. Slide head down as far as it will go. Rotate head assembly until the sides of the belt cover are parallel with the sides of the base.

16. Tighten the two set screws (O, Figure 10) with a 5mm hex key until they are snug.

Figure 8

12. Slide table elevating handle (HP4, Figure 9) onto protruding shaft of worm. Make sure the set screw in the handle aligns with the flat on the worm shaft.

13. Tighten set screw (K) in table elevating handle with 4mm hex key.

14. Mount column locking handle (HP3, Figure 9) to rear of table bracket. The quickest way to install this is to remove the handle by unscrewing the screw with its spring (L). Insert the bolt (N) into the table bracket hole, then reinstall handle (M), spring and screw (L).

Note: The locking handle (HP3) is adjustable. To reposition, pull out on the handle and rotate it, then release it, making sure it reseats itself on the bolt head.

Figure 10

17. Install three downfeed handles (HP5, Figure 11) into hub by screwing them in completely. A flat is provided on each handle for a 9mm wrench or pliers to help tighten if needed.

Figure 11

18. Thoroughly clean spindle, arbor and chuck (Figure 12) with a soft rag and solvent, such as mineral spirits.
