parts must be completely degreased using an
environmentally friendly solvent. This ensures
optimal transmission of power.

- Mount the drill chuck onto the spindle.

3.INSTALLING THE MACHINE (See Fig 3)
Before the drill is started for the first time, it must
be solidly and fully mounted on the work area
of a stable workbench. Select suitable length
bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied). Use four
mounting holes (12) in the base plate to do this.
Ensure that the machine is freely accessible for

Fig 2

Fig 3

operation, adjustment and maintenance.
Note: The fixing screws may only be tightened
to a point where they do not distort or deform
the base plate. Excessive tension can lead to
fracture.

4.HINGED CHIP GUARD (See Fig 4)
Unscrew the three-recessed head screws (20).
Push the transparent cover (22) into the groove of
the red mounting frame (23) and fasten it again
with the recessed head screws (20).
The height of the cover (22) is infinitely adjustable
and can be locked using the two thumb screws
(21).
The chip guard (13) can be flipped upwards to
change drill bits; ensure, however, that the chip
guard (13) is back in its initial position before
restarting the machine.

5.PRIOR TO STARTING

Ensure that the voltage of the mains supply
complies with the specifications on the rating
plate. Connect the machine only to a socket with
the properly installed earthing contact.The table
drill is equipped with a no-volt trip that is designed
to protect the operator from an undesired restart
following a drop in voltage. Should this occur, the
machine must be manually restarted.

6.OPERATION GENERAL (See Fig 2)
To switch on the machine, push in the green On
button “l” (17); the machine starts up. To switch
off, press the red Off button “o” (18); the device
shuts down. Ensure that you do not overload the
device. If the sound of the motor drops in pitch
during operation, it is being overloaded. Do not
overload the device to the point where the motor
comes to a standstill.
The machine is designed for continuous operation
with intermittent load (S2 :15 min).
The machine may be operated under a full load
for a maximum of 15 minutes, at which time
the machine needs to idle for 15 minutes. This
prevents the motor from overheating.

7.INSERTING THE TOOL (See Fig 1)
Make sure that the power plug is removed from
the socket-outlet before changing tools. Only
cylindrical tools with the stipulated maximum
shaft diameter may be clamped in the scroll

Caution! Do not leave the chuck key in the clamp
hole. Doing so will cause it to shoot out, which
could cause injury.

9.SETTING THE SPEED (See Fig 1, 6, 7)
First switch the machine off, then pull out the
mains plug.
The various spindle speeds can be set by moving
the V-belt.
Proceed as follows:

- Remove the screw (16) in order to open the
pulley cover (7).

- Slacken the tightening screw (15) and push the
motor (8) in the direction of the machine head.

- Move the V-belt to the desired position.

- Refer to the table for the recommended speeds
for different drill bit materials (fig 6).

- Tighten the V-belt by pushing the motor (8) back
from the machine head (6). Screw the tightening
screw (15) back down again. The tension is
properly set when the V-belt flexes in the middle
by approx. 1 cm when pressed.
