POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
(FIGURE AA and BB)
1. Lock the table (1) to the column (2) at a position so
the tip of the dnll bit (3) is Justabove the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place a BACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)
on the table beneath the workpiece. This will prevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside of the
workpiece. To keep the back-up material from spinning
out of control, it MUST contact the LEFT side of the
column.
To prevent the workplace or backup material from being
torn from your hands while drilling, you MUST position it
against the left side of the column. Ifthe workpiece or
the backup material iS not long enough to reach the
column use the fence provided with the drill press to
brace the workpiece, or clamp it to the table. Failure to
do this could result in personal injury.
.,Fig. AA
3. For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
use a drill press vise (optional accessory).
_Y/zI_iI_
The drill pf'ess vise MUST be clamped or bolted tq the
table to avoid injuryfrom a spinningworkplace, or
damaged vise or bit parts.
Remove the drill press fence when it interferes with other
drill press accessories.

HOLDING A DRILLING LOCATION
1. Using a centerpunch or sharp nail, make an
indentation in the workplace where you want the hole.
2. Using the feed handles, bring the drill down to align
with the indentation before turning the drill "ON".
TILTING THE TABLE (FIGURE CC)
NOTE: The table and support (t) has a predrilled hole
with a locking pin inserted for locking the table into a
predetermined 0° horizontal position.
1. To use the table in a bevel (tilted) position, TIGHTEN
the nut (2) on the lockingpin clockwise to RELEASE
itfrom the table support.
2. Loosen the large hex head bevel lockingbolt (3).
To prevent injury, be sure to hold the table & table arm
assembly, so it will not swivel or tilt.

3. Tilt the table, aligningthe desired angle measurement
tothe zero line oppositethe scale (4).Tighten the bevel
locking bolt.
4. To return the table to its original position, loosen the
bevel locking bolt,(3). Realign the bevel scale (4) to
the 0° position.
5. Loosen the nut (2) on the lockingpin to the OUTSIDE
END OF THREADS. Gently tap the lockingpinuntil it
is seated in the hole. Finger tightenthe nut.
To avoid injury from spinningwork or tool breakage, always
clamp workpiece and backup material securely to the
table before operating the drill press with the table tilted,
FEEDING
1. Pull down the feed handles with only eno_ugheffort to
allow the drill bit to cut.
2. Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor, cause the
belt or ddUto slip, or tear the workplece loose and
break the drillbit.
3. When drillingmetal, it may be necessary to lubricate
the drillbit tip with motor oil,to prevent burningthe tip.
