WARNING! Be sure the drill press is turned off and unplugged when
the belt & pulley cover is open and you have your hands in that area.
6. Place the belt on the two pulleys according to the needed spindle
speed.
7. Re-tension the belt when it is set in position by pushing the motor away
from the spindle (front) end of the drill press head and re-tightening the
belt tension lock knobs.
8. The belt should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Belt tension is set
correctly if the belt deflects about 1/2" (13 mm) when thumb pressure is
applied to it halfway between the pulleys.
9. Close the cover.
TABLE ADJUSTMENTS
TABLE HEIGHT
1. Raise or lower the table by loosening the table support lock handle
(B, fig 3) and turning the crank handle (G, fig 3) until the table is at the
height desired.
2. Be sure to re-tighten the table support lock handle before drilling.
TABLE ROTATION
1. Rotate the table around the column by loosening the table support
lock handle and moving the table around the column to the placement
desired.
2. The table height adjustment rack should also slide around the column
as you do this.
3. Line up the drill bit with the table center hole when through-boring to
preclude damage to the table.
4. Be sure to re-tighten the table support lock handle before drilling.
TABLE TILT
The table has a range of tilt available from 0 to 45° to the left and right.
1. Locate the table bevel lock bolt underneath the table.
2. To tilt the table, loosen the table bevel lock screw (E, fig 3) with a
wrench.
3. Tilt the table to the desired angle (you can use the bevel scale on the
support as a rough gauge).
4. Re-tighten the table bevel lock bolt.
NOTE: It is a good idea to always check that the angle is correct with a
protactor or a combination square.
The table should be squared to the head for normal drilling operations.
1. Use the bevel scale on the support as a rough gauge and set the table
at 0°.
2. Insert a 3" (7.6 cm) long drill bit into the chuck and tighten. Make sure it
is caught straight in the jaws.
3. Raise and lock the table at about 1" (2.5 cm) below the tip of the drill bit.
4. Use a combination square placed on the table to check. The drill bit
should be parallel to the straight edge of the square.
5. Make any adjustment needed by loosening the table bevel lock bolt with
a wrench and tilting the table
6. Tighten the bevel lock bolt.
