Use a sharp drill bit at all times... Using the MS-1 drill bit sharpener, sharpen your drill bits regularly.  Apply light pres-

sure when sharpening.  Too much pressure may cause flaring of the tip.  (Once a drill bit has a flared tip, it becomes 

defective.)

Sharpening Stone... Use to debur the outside cutting edge of the drill bits for better performance.

Lubricate drill bits occasionally... Use Drill-Ease or Spin-Eze.  While the drill is running, simply touch the Drill-Ease 

stick to the drill bit or brush on the Spin-Eze.  Drill through scrap to remove any excess.  This will allow for a smoother 

cut.

Drill Strips...When drilling, a drill bit must stop slightly above the drill strip.  Replace worn out drill strips regularly to 

ensure proper drilling.

After all your adjustments are made as desired, position the Table 

in its primary position.  Set the product to be drilled on the table 

and make sure it is secure using the Paper Side Stops.  To drill, 

step down on the Foot Pedal and hold, raising the Table up to 

meet the drill bits.  Make sure the Table rises fully allowing the drill 

bits to drill through the product.  When the drill bits have penetrat-

ed through the entire stack of product, release the Foot Pedal, 

which alows the table to return to its lowered position.  

It is important you do not drill too slow or too fast.  If you drill too 

slow you can burn the paper leaving undesired marks.  If you 

drill too fast, the drill bits will act more like a punch and they will 

break.

If your Table rises too slow:  increase the speed of your Table 

rise by turning the Table Adjustment Knob, located just under the 

Table on the front of the machine, counterclockwise.

If your Table rises too fast:  decrease the speed of your Table rise 

by turning the Table Adjustment Knob clockwise.

Different product requires different speeds.  It is always recom-

mended to drill through a test stack of the product until the opera-

tor is confident of the required speed.
