2.  Fix the workpiece. Preferably fix the workpiece on the drill table by using an 

appropriate vice (e. g. machine vice, jaw width 100 mm, clamping range 90 
mm, article 82 88 22). 

3.  Test the drill and mill rig on a trial basis by lowering the 

feed lever (7) with the already clamped drilling machine 
and inserted drill bit. Lower the drill bit up to 10 mm 
above the workpieces that has to be drilled. 

4.  The drilling depth is shown in millimetres. Pull down the 

feed lever (7) until the tip of the drill bit is flush with the 
workpiece. Turn the scale of the drilling depth to the 
position 

0

. 

5.  Before each use check all screws and levers for 

tightness, as well as the firm fit of the workpiece and the 
drill and mill rig. Switch on the drilling machine and drill 
the workpiece. Read off the drilling depth on the drilling 
depth scale (2). The max. drilling depth is 50 mm. 

Using the Depth Stop for Serial Drilling 

1.  After adjusting the drilling depth, as mentioned in the previous chapter, lower 

the drilling machine with the feed lever (7) that way, so the tip of the drill bit 
lightly touches the workpiece. 

2.  Hold the machine support in this position and press down with the other hand 

the depth stop releasing button (13) until the depth stop (3) slides down all the 
way. Now the machine support is locked up to this position. 

3.  Release the machine support and fix the workpiece (if you have not already 

done). 

4.  Drill all the workpieces with the same drilling depth. 

Hints 

ƒ

  Secure the workpiece that way to make sure the drill bit cannot lift up the 

workpiece while drilling. 

ƒ

  Remove all wood chips after each use and keep the working surface always 

clean. 

ƒ

  Make sure not to drill in the drill table. 

ƒ

  When drilling irregularly shaped workpieces as well as for drilling round 

material it is very important to clamp the workpiece in a vice in order to fixed it 
securely in position. 

ƒ

  By loosened the fixing screws (8), if necessary, the machine support can be 

rotated on the rack around the drill table.
