BASIC DRILL PRESS OPERATIONS INSTALLING DRILL BITS

Insert drill bit into chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping of the chuck jaws (fig.23). The jaws are approximately 1” long. When using a small drill bit, do not insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutes (spiral grooves) of the drill bit. Make sure the drill bit is centered in the chuck before tightening the chuck with the key. Tighten the drill bit sufficiently, so that it does not slip while drilling. Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.

POSITIONNING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE

Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip of the drill bit is just a little above the top of the workpiece. Always place backup material (wood, plywood...) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent “splintering” or making a heavy burr on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the backup material from spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column, as illustrated in fig.24.

WARNING! If the backup material is not long enough to reach the left

side of the column, clamp it to the table. Failure to do this could result in personnal injury. For small workpieces that can’t be clamp to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory) (Fig.25). See authorized KING CANADA retailer for more information on purchasing drill press vises.

WARNING! The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to reduce the risk of injury from spinning work or vise or tool breakage.

TILTING TABLE

ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATIONS

To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position (Fig.26), loosen the set screw under the table bevel lock with a 3mm hex. key. Loosen bevel lock using open end wrench included. Tilt the table to the desired angle by reading the bevel scale. Retighten bevel lock and set screw.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to the table before operating the drill press with the table tilted. To return the table to its original position, loosen the set screw and bevel lock, tilt the table back to zero on the bevel scale and retighten set screw, then retighten the bevel lock.

HOLE LOCATION

Make a dent in the workpiece where you want the hole to be, using a center punch or a nail. Before turning the switch on, bring the drill down to the workpiece and line up with the dent in the workpiece and clamp into place.

FEEDING

Pull down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill to burn. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the belt or drill to slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit. When drilling metal, it may be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill bit with cutting oil or motor oil to prevent burning of the drill tip.

10. Proper tension is achieved when the quill returns gently to the full up position when released from 3/4” depth.

11. When there is enough tension after checking, replace outer nut and tighten inner nut. Do not over tighten against the inner nut.

12. Check quill while feeding to have smooth and unrestricted movement. If movement is too tight, loosen outer nut and slightly loosen inner nut until unrestricted. Retighten outer nut.
