RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

The purpose of safety rules is to attract your attention to
possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with
them, require your careful attention and understanding.
The safety warnings by themselves do not elimimate any danger.
The instruction or warnings they give are not substitutes for
proper accident prevention measures.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL Indicates caution or
warning. May be used in conjunction with
other symbols or pictures.
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning
can result in serious injury to yourself or to
others. Always follow the safety precautions to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools,
which eliminates the need for earth grounding. Whenever
there is electric current in the tool there are two complete sets
of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation.

WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal
wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions related to avoiding
electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service we
suggest you return the tool to your nearest Ryobi Authorised
Service Centre for repair. When servicing, use only identical
Ryobi replacement parts.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have
read thoroughly and completely understood the safety rules, etc.
contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents
involving fire, electric shock or serious personal injury. Save
owners manual and review frequently for continual safe
operation and for instructing others who may use this tool.

The operation of any tool can result
in foreign objects being thrown into
your eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning
power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with

side shields and a full face shield
when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for
use over eye glasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read owners manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this tool.

2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING
BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES.

For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.

4. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power
tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep work
area well lit.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Visitors should wear
safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area.
Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

6. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored
in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of reach of children.

7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate at which it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a small tool or attachment to
do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don't use tool for any purpose
not intended.

9. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non­skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also
wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

10. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses

have only impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

11. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a dust mask if operation is dusty.

12. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation.

13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Do not use tool on a ladder or unstable support.
Secure tools when working at elevated levels.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean

for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or

when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc. all
tools should be disconnected.

16. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a

habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.

17. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal

sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

18. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN AND FREE FROM OIL AND

GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use

brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.

19. STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you

are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.

20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a

guard or any 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 and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service centre.

21. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON

AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by authorised

service centre.

22. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE

INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR ANY MEDICATION.

the table to the desired position
and re-tighten clamping lever
securley.

•

Tilting Adjustment
(Fig 2 & 3)

Loosen pivot bolt. Tilt table to
desired angle up to 45° and
re-tighten bolt.

•

Swing 360°:

Loosen clamping lever then
swing table to appropraite
position and retighten.

•

Loosen clamping lever, rotate
table to desired position and
retighten.

■

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

•

Feed Depth Adjustment
(Fig 4)

Lower spindle assembly to
desired depth and spin down
nut. If nut moves due to vibra­tion, spin down second nut and

shifter bar. Choose speed for
drilling operation and move belt
to correct position for desired
speed. Push motor backward
until moderate belt tension is
acquired. Tighten shifter bar.

•

Belt Tension Adjustment
(Fig 6)

use pressure to push down
with the thumb thumb on the belt at midway point
between the two pulleys. The belt should push down no
more than 13mm.

■

INSTALLING DRILL BITS

Open chuck jaws with chuck key (Fig.7).
Insert drill bit into chuck
jaws approx. 25mm.

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.

■

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 stock.
If the workpiece is whirled outof the operators hand,
injury may occur.
For flat work, lay the workpiece on a wooden base and
clamp it firmly 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.
