ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough
to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
**Ampere rating (on tool data plate)
0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0
Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25’ 16 16 16 16 14 14
50’ 16 16 16 14 14 12
100’ 16 16 14 12 10 —
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with
a damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the grinder does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,000 rpm.
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended
only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for
a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 1, page 17.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord is required, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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 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 the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.

thrown from your drill resulting in possible serious
personal injury or damage to your chuck.
Tighten chuck jaws securely. DO NOT use a wrench to
tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
NOTE: The force of drilling will tighten the chuck.
To remove bits:
Unplug your drill press.
Reverse above steps while holding bit firmly.
NOTE: If chuck is too tight to loosen by hand, use either
a strap or spanner wrench to loosen.
USING THE WORKLIGHT
See Figure 18, page 22.
Swivel the worklight to desired position to shine maximum
light on the workpiece.
Press the worklight on/off switch to the left to turn ON
( l ).
Press the worklight on/off switch to the right to turn OFF
(O.
DRILLING
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.
DRILLING TO A SPECIFIC DEPTH
See Figure 20, page 23.
To drill a blind hole (not all the way through) to a given depth,
proceed as follows.
Mark the depth of the hole on the workpiece.
Loosen the depth scale lock.
With the switch OFF (O), bring the drill bit down until the
tip of lip of the bit are even with the mark.
Turn the depth scale counterclockwise until it stops
moving.
Tighten the depth scale lock.
The drill bit will stop at this depth until the depth scale is
readjusted.
POSITIONING TABLE AND WORKPIECE
See Figures 18 and 19, page 22.
Lock the table to the column in a position so that the tip
of the drill is just a little above the top of the workpiece.
Always place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood,
etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece. This will
prevent “splintering” or making a heavy burr on the
underside on the workpiece as the drill breaks through.
To keep the backup material from spinning out of control,
it must contact the left side of the column, as illustrated.
NOTE: For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (not included).
WARNING:
The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table
to reduce the risk of injury from spinning work and
vise or tool breakage.
MARKING HOLE LOCATION
Make a dent in the workpiece where you want the hole,
using a center punch or a sharp nail.
Before turning the switch on, bring the drill down to the
workpiece lining it up with the hole location.
DRILLING USING THE DEPTH SCALE
See Figure 21, page 23.
With the power OFF (O), loosen the depth scale lock and
turn the depth scale counterclockwise to zero.
Place workpiece on table. Adjust table until the tip of the
drill bit is just a little above the top of the workpiece.
Turn the depth scale clockwise until the depth scale
indicator points to the desired drilling depth on the depth
scale.
Tighten the depth scale lock.
The chuck or drill will now be stopped after traveling
downward the distance selected on the depth scale.
TO LOCK CHUCK AT DESIRED DEPTH
See Figure 22, page 23.
With the switch OFF (O), loosen the depth scale lock.
Turn the feed handles until the chuck is at the desired
depth. Hold feed handles at this position.
Turn the depth scale clockwise until it stops.
Tighten the depth scale lock.
The chuck will now be held at this depth when the feed
handles are released.

OPERATION
TILTING TABLE
See Figure 23, page 23.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from spinning work
or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and
backup material securely to table before operating
drill press with the table tilted.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.
ADJUSTING TABLE HEIGHT
See Figure 23, page 23.
Hold the table with one hand then loosen the table support
lock handle.
To raise the table, turn the table crank clockwise.
To lower the table, turn the table crank counterclockwise.
Once the table is in the desired position, retighten the
table support lock handle.
CHANGING SPEEDS
The spindle speed is determined by the location of the
belts on the pulleys inside the head assembly. The speed
chart located on the inside of the belt guard shows the
recommended speed and pulley configuration for each
drilling operation:
Loosen the two belt tension screws located on each side
of the head assembly.
Pull the belt tension lever to release belt tension and to
loosen the belts.
Open the head assembly cover and reposition the belt
according to the speed chart. Close the cover.
Push the belt tension lever firmly back into position
assuring drive belt is tight. While holding tension on the
motor, retighten the two belt tension knobs securely.
To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position:
Loosen table bevel lock bolt.
Tilt table to desired angle by reading bevel scale.
Retighten table bevel lock bolt.
To return table to original position:
Loosen table bevel lock bolt, tilt table back to 0° on bevel
scale, then tighten table bevel lock bolt.
ADJUSTING QUILL RETURN SPRING
See Figures 24 and 25, page 24.
NOTE: The return spring tension is set at the factory and
should not require further adjustment.
NOTE: Turn the depth scale counterclockwise until it stops
and tighten the depth scale lock.
Lower table for additional clearance.
Firmly hold the spring assembly against the head keeping
it engaged with the lug while loosening and removing the
outer nut only.
Loosen inner nut (approximately 1/4 in. and disengage
spring housing from the lug. Using both hands turn spring
housing counterclockwise to the next notch and engage
with the lug.
Finger tighten inner nut against spring housing. Do not
overtighten as this will restrict quill movement.
Loosen depth scale lock and check quill return by rotating
feed handles, lowering quill.
Proper tension is achieved when quill returns gently to
full up position when released from 3/4 in. depth.
If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat steps
Moving only one notch each time and checking tension
after each repetition.
After adjusting spring, replace outer nut and tighten to
inner nut. But do not overtighten against inner nut.
Check quill movement to make sure it is smooth and
unrestricted. If movement is too tight, loosen outer nut
and slightly loosen inner nut until unrestricted. Retighten
outer nut.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part can create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product
operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
a clean cloth to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Frequently blow out any saw dust that may accumulate
inside the motor housing.
Check belt condition often
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could
result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
The ball bearings in the quill and V-belt pulley are
permanently lubricated. To lubricate the spindle, pull quill
down to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three
months. Oil all slide bars lightly every two months. If cranking
becomes difficult, grease bracket lightly. Periodically
lubricate the gear rack in order to keep the vertical movement
smooth and to help prolong the life of your drill press.
PULLEYS
See Figures 26 and 27, page 24.
Should you experience a high level of vibration or if the drill
press fails to drive the bit, check for proper tensioning of the
belts. If the main shaft fails to turn, the problem could be a
loose hex nut on the main shaft. To make sure the pulleys
are properly seated and tight, locate the set screw on the
main hex nut. Loosen the set screw with a 3 mm hex key
and thoroughly tighten the main hex nut with an adjustable
wrench. Retighten the set screw.
NOTE: The set screw is tightened clockwise and the large
hex nut is tightened counter-clockwise.
REMOVING CHUCK
See Figure 28, page 24.
Unplug the drill press.
Lower the spindle until the slots in the spindle are visible.
Insert the screwdriver into the spindle slot.
Using a strap wrench, rotate the chuck clockwise to
remove the chuck from the spindle.
NOTE: Make sure and hold onto the chuck to prevent it
from dropping when it is released from the spindle nose.
Remove the screwdriver from the spindle.
