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 approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this drill press. 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. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
10. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
11. Make certain the machine is properly
grounded.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
13. 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.
14. Do not start the drill press while the cutting tool
is in contact with the workpiece.
15. Secure workpiece firmly against table and
make sure table is locked, before drilling.
16. 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.
17. 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. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.
23. 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.
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to

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
pad, 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
Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
1 Head assembly – A
1 Table and bracket assembly – B
1 Table insert – C
1 Base – D
1 Column and foot assembly – E
1 Rack – F
1 Owner’s manual (not shown)
1 Warranty card (not shown)
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 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 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 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.
