Safety Instructions for
Transportable Drills
a) The drill must be secured. A drill that is not properly secured may move or tip over and may
result in personal injury.
b) The workpiece must be clamped or secured to the workpiece support. Do not drill pieces
that are too small to be clamped securely. Holding the workpiece by hand during operation
may result in personal injury.
c) Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating parts or chips leading to
personal injury.
d) Keep your hands out of the drilling area while the tool is running. Contact with rotating
parts or chips may result in personal injury.
e) Make sure the accessory is rotating before feeding into the workpiece. Otherwise the
accessory may become jammed in the workpiece causing unexpected movement of the
workpiece and personal injury.
f) When the accessory is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and switch off the tool.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam. Jamming can
cause unexpected movement of the workpiece and personal injury.
g) Avoid generating long chips by regularly interrupting downward pressure. Sharp metal
chips may cause entanglement and personal injuries.
h) Never remove chips from the drilling area while the tool is running. To remove chips,
move the accessory away from the workpiece, switch off the tool and wait for the accessory
to stop moving. Use tools such as a brush or hook to remove chips. Contact with rotating
parts or chips may result in personal injury.
i) Accessories with speed ratings must be rated at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and
fly apart.

Intended Use
Bench-mounted vertical drill for drilling a wide range of materials excluding most masonry
materials. Enables precise control of depth, hole position and angle entry into the workpiece.
Provides a stable platform when using accessories compatible with a normal chuck.
NOT INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any
use other than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator,
and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of
misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any
damage resulting from such modifications.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions.
• Ensure all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories or making any adjustments.
Assembly
Tools required for assembly and operating (not included): Phillips screwdriver and spanner.
Note: This tool will have traces of oil and grease on its component parts to protect against corrosion.
Clean off such residue before assembly especially the chuck mounting and the internal fitting of
the Chuck (7).
1. Secure the Column (1) to the Base (14) using the supplied Bolts (x 3), Spring Washers (x 3) and
Washers (x 3). The Spring Washers fit between the bolt head and the washer (Fig. I).
2. Slide the Table (13) on to the Column and tighten the Table Locking Handle (12) when
approximately 150mm from the Base (Fig. II).
3. Place the drill press head assembly on to the Column and lower it as far as it will go.
Note: Seek assistance when handling the drill press head assembly as it is heavy.
4. When the head is aligned to the Base, tighten the 2 hex grub screws which hold the drill press
head assembly in place with the supplied hex key (Fig. III). These hex grub screws are directly
below the Drive Belt Tension Adjuster (10) on the same side.
5. Screw the three Plunge Handles (11) into the Plunge Handle mounting (Fig. IV).
6. The Chuck fits using a simple Morse taper connection and relies on the friction of the surfaces
to hold the Chuck in position. Fit the Chuck to the Chuck mounting by placing a small piece of
wood below the Chuck and operate the Plunge Handles to lower the Chuck mounting to fit the
Chuck (Fig. V). You can alternatively fit the Chuck before mounting the drill press head assembly
on the Column. If necessary use a soft mallet to help secure the Chuck but only use light force.
Note: It is essential both surfaces are free of oil and grease for the Chuck to be secure.
Note: Make sure the Chuck jaws are recessed before striking the Chuck with a mallet.
7. Angle the Chuck Guard (6) so you can remove the Screws , Washers and Nuts that are pre-fitted
to the Chuck Guard that will secure the chuck guard visor. Fit the visor (Fig. VI) and then loosely
re-assemble the screws, washers and nuts in each hole. Ensure the visor position is correct then
tighten the fittings.
8. It is important to secure the drill press to a work surface to prevent the tool tipping over. Fit bolts
and nuts (not provided) through the Base Holes (15) and matching holes through a work surface
to secure the drill press.
Note: Use nylon insert lock nuts or spring washers in the fixings to prevent vibration from loosening
the fixings.
Note: If you don't secure the drill permanently it is recommended to use clamps to secure the tool
to a work surface or work only with material too small to cause the drill to tip over.
Adjusting speed
IMPORTANT: The drill may need adjustment of the Drive Belt Tension Adjuster (10) before use even
if you use the gear already set.
• The drill has 5 speeds which are manually set. See chart below showing belt positions for each
speed plus an approximate speed guide for type and size of drill bit.
