USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating . A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 8
metres or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

INSTALLING DRILL BITS
Open chuck jaws with chuck key (Fig 8)
Insert drill bit into chuck jaws approx. 25mm. When using
a small drill bit, do not insert it so far that the jaws touch
the arbor of the drill. Make sure that the drill bit is centred
in the chuck before tightening the chuck with the key.
Tighten all 3 holes.
Fig.8
OPERATION
DRILLING
Use clamps to hold the workpiece when drilling. The
workpiece should never be held by hand as the lips of the
drill may seize the workpiece at any time, especially
when breaking through the material being drilled.
If the workpiece is whirled out of the operator's hand,
injury may occur.
For at work, lay the workpiece on a wooden base and
clamp it rmly down against the table to prevent it
from turning.
Using Vice
For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vice (not included). The vice
must be clamped or bolted to the table.
Positioning Workpiece
Always place a piece of wood on the table. This will
prevent splintering or making heavy burs on the
underside of the workpiece as the drill breaks through.
The wood must contact the left side of the column.
Round- Out Tolerance
For drilling operations requiring close tolerances,
place drill blank into chuck and check run out with
a dial indicator. If the run out is not within desired
tolerance, tap the chuck bottom with a rubber mallet
until you get the desired tolerance.
LASER BEAM (Fig 9&10)
The light from the laser beam allows you to locate
precisely the exact location on the workpiece to be
drilled.
To start work with the laser beam the rst time,
Turn off the drill press.
Insert 2xAA batteries into the battery compartment
that is located adjacent to the laser on/off switch
with the correct polarity.
Press laser on/off switch to turn the laser on
Fig.9
Page 9
Page 11
The laser beam should be aligned before being
used for the rst time.
Turn on the laser.
Mark a cross as the target location to be drilled
on the workpiece.
Press the on/off to switch on the laser beam and
let the laser line on the workpiece.
Adjust the laser beam crosshairs to match with the
target drill position by slowly turning the laser head
to obtain a clear crosshair on the workpiece.
Switch on the drill press to drill the required hole
OPERATION
Change batteries:
Turn off the drill press and switch off the laser
beam.
Open the battery cover of the laser beam on/off
switch.
Replace the 2x AA batte ries into t he battery
compartment.
Switch on the laser beam and turn on the drill
press for drilling operation.
WARNING:
Use only correct batteries 2x AA size batteries.
Page 10
MAINTENANCE
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor.
A coat of automobile type wax applied to the table and column will help to keep the surface clean.
If the power cord is damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
LUBRICATION
All of the ball bearings are packed will grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
