Positioning the table and workpiece (Figure 27 and Figure 28)1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so the tip

of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the workpiece (4).2. ALWAYS place a BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)

on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering or heavy burring on the underside of the workpiece. To keep the back-up material from spinning, it MUST be positioned against the LEFT side of the column.

3. For a small piece that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory).

To prevent the workpiece or backup material from being thrown while drilling, you MUST position the workpiece against the LEFT side of the

column. If the workpiece or the backup material is not long enough to reach the column, clamp them to the table, or use the fence provided with the drill press to brace the workpiece. Failure to secure the workpiece could result in personal injury.

Figure 27

When used, a drill press vise MUST be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury from a spinning workpiece, or damaged vise or bit parts.Remove the drill press fence when it interferes withother drill press accessories.

Figure 28

Holding a drilling location1. Using a centerpunch or sharp nail, make an indentation in the workpiece where you will be drilling.2. Turn the laser “ON” and align the laser lines (x) with the indentation before turning the drill ON.

10”,12” Drill PressesTilting the table (Figure 29)NOTE: The table arm and support (1) has a predrilled hole with a locking pin inserted for locking the table into a predrilled 0° bevel angle.

1. TIGHTEN the nut (2) on the locking pin using a 10mm or adjustable wrench clockwise to RELEASE it from the table support.2. Loosen the large hex head table bevel locking bolt (3) using a 17mm or adjustable wrench. To prevent injury, be sure to holdthe table & table arm assembly, so it will not swivel or tilt.

Figure 29

3. Tilt the table, aligning the desired angle measurement to the zero line opposite the scale (4).4. Tighten the table bevel locking bolt (3).5. To return the table to its original position, loosen the table bevel locking bolt (3). Return the table (1) to the 0° position.6. Return nut (2) on locking pin to the OUTSIDE END OF THREADS. Gently tap locking pin until it is seated in the mating hole of the table bracket. Hand tighten nut (2).

To avoid injury from spinning work or tool breakage, always clamp workpiece and backup material securely to the table before operating the drill press.

Feeding1. Pull down the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill bit to cut.2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn. Feeding too rapidly might cause the belt or drill to slip, tear the workpiece loose or break the drill bit.3. When drilling metal, it is necessary to lubricate the drill bit tip with oil to prevent burning of the workpiece and bit.
