26).
2. Insert the drill bit into the chuck (Fig. 27).
3. Whilst holding the drill bit in one hand rotate the top collar of the chuck in a clockwise direction.
Insert the chuck key into 1 of the 3 rotating holes and tighten until drill bit is secure (Fig. 28).
MORSE TAPER DRILL BITS
To use Morse taper bits, remove chuck and arbor.
1. Turn arbor until the tang aligns with the slot in the quill(Fig. 29).
2. Insert the drift key into the slot and tap firmly with a metal hammer until it releases. (Ensure the
chuck jaws are wound all the way up to prevent damage (Fig. 30).
3. Place tapper bit into the spindle hole, twisting and pushing upward until bit is sung (Fig. 31).
4. Place block of wood on the table and raise up table until the tapered bit is firmly into the spindle.
PRE-SETTING THE DRILLING DEPTH BENCH TYPE
To set the depth of the hole, adjust the depth stop as follows:
1. Lower the chuck with the power OFF, until the drill bit touches the surface of the workpiece, and
hold in that position.
2. Spin down the adjuster nut so that the gap between its underside and top of bracket is the depth
of the hole required. Screw down the lock nut and lock it against the adjuster nut.
The drill is now set to drill holes to your pre-determined depth from that particular start point. i.e.
Providing the surface of your workpiece is flat and level, you may drill a series of holes, each to the
same depth. The scale and pointer can be used when drilling individual holes. Lower the chuck until
the drill bit touches the work, set the pointer against a point on the scale, and proceed to drill to the
required depth, using the scale.
FLOOR TYPE
To stop spindle (and bit) at a desired depth:
1. Loosen depth stop lock knob by turning in an anti-clockwise direction (Fig. 33).
2. Rotate depth scale to the desired depth, then tighten half wing bolt (Fig. 34).
To hold the spindle (and bit) at a desired depth:
1. Loosen depth stop lock knob, turn feed wheel handle to lowest point (Fig. 35).
2. Rotate depth scale to desired depth and re-tighten depth stop lock knob. This will hold assembly
stationery at desired depth.
CHANING THE SPEED BENCH TYPE
Before changing the seeds, ensure the machine is switched OFF, and disconnected from the power
supply.
1. Open the pulley cover.
2. Slacken off the belt tension locking knob, to relieve any tension on the drive belt.
3. Consult the chart inside the pulley cover, and position the belt on the pulley's according to the
spindle speed required.
4. When the belt has been correctly positioned, re-tension by levering the motor away from the
head, until the belt deflects by approx. ½” at its centre when using reasonable thumb pressure.
Lock the motor in this position with the belt tension locking knob.
5. Lever the motor, with its bracket, away from the head, so that tension is applied to the belt. Ten-
sion is correct when the belt deflects by approx. ½” at its centre, when using reasonable thumb
pressure. Lock the motor in this position using the locking knob.
FLOOR TYPE
The speed of the drill press can be changed by adjusting the belt on the pulley system. See chart
inside pulley cover for speed configurations.
1. Release the belt tension locking knobs located on either side of the main housing (Fig.37).
2. Once the tension is released, the belt tension handle can be used to move the motor pulley closer
to the idler pulley (Fig.38).
3. The belt is removed by lifting it over the lip of the pulley while rotating the pulley simultaneously
(Fig.39).
4. After re-adjusting the belts, use the belt tension handle to move the motor pulley further away
from the idler pulley. When the desired position is achieved use the locking knobs to secure the
pulleys in place (Fig.40)
5. Proper belt tension is achieved when the measured deflection (by pushing in the centre of the
belt) is approx. 5mm (Fig. 41).
8. OPERATION

2. Loosen the jaws of the chuck with the chuck key by turning in an anti-clockwise direction and
insert the selected drill bit into the as far as it will go.
3. Insert the chuck key into 1 of the 3 locating holes and tighten until drill bit is secure.
4. Select your drilling depth and secure the depth stop lock knob in position.
5. Adjust the table to your desired position.
6. Slowly rotate the feed wheel handles to bring the drill bit down towards the table and into your
workpiece. After drilling a hole, release the feed wheel handles slowly to return the chuck to its
original position.
7. Continue the operation until the task is completed. When completed, switch the drill press Off by
pressing the red (O) button on the switch.
9. MAINTENANCE
