GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ig -
nite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod -
ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac -
es such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec -
tric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car -
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex -
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is un -
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com -
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a respira-
tory mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew -
elry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool”
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera -
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac -
count the working conditions and the work to be per -
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
8. Use clamps to secure your workpiece to a stable
surface. Holding a workpiece by hand or using your
body to support it may lead to loss of control.
9. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main -
tained.

3.
Check
with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
4.
Use only three-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged plugs and outlets
that accept the tool’s plug (INSERT CR). Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
CAUTION!
In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If
you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown
, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
1.
Do not modify the plug provided.
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed
electrician.
2.
Improper connection
of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor
with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
1.
Examine extension cord before use.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2.
Do not abuse extension cord.
Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling
on plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension
cord. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool.
This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should
be protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An un -
dersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (FIG. 17)
The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main
components are a spring and a notched housing. The spring was properly
adjusted at the factory and should not be readjusted unless absolutely
necessary.
1. Unplug the drill press.
2. Place a screwdriver into the loop (Fig. 17 - 1) to hold the spring in
place.
3. Loosen the two housing nuts (Fig. 17 - 2) approximately 1/4" (6 mm).
Do not remove the nuts from the threaded shaft. Do not allow the spring
or spring housing to slip out of control.
4. While firmly holding the spring housing (Fig. 17 - 3), carefully pull
spring housing out until it clears the raised stop (Fig. 17 - 4).
5. Turn the housing so that the next notch (Fig. 17 - 5) is engaged with
the raised stop (Fig. 17 - 4).
• To increase the spindle return tension, turn the spring housing
counter-clockwise.
• To decrease the tension, turn the spring housing clockwise.
6. Tighten the two housing nuts. Do not overtighten the two nuts. If
the nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the spindle and feed
handles will become sluggish.
Fig. 17
ANGULAR “PLAY” OF THE SPINDLE (FIG. 18)
Move the spindle to the lowest downward position and hold in place. Try
to make the spindle revolve around its axis while also moving it with a
side motion. If there is too much “play”, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the outer nut (Fig. 18 - 1) about 1/8 inch.
2. Without obstructing the upward and downward motion of the spindle,
turn the screw (Fig. 18 - 2) clockwise to eliminate the “play.”
NOTE: A little bit of “play” is normal.
3. Tighten the lock nut (Fig. 18 - 1).

prolonged use of the drill
press may make some
readjustments necessary.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
DRILL PRESS ON / OFF SWITCH (FIG. 19)
1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the yellow safety key (Fig. 19 - 1)
into the switch housing (Fig. 19 - 2). As a safety feature, the switch
cannot be turned ON without the safety key.
2. Flip the switch upward to the ON position.
3. To turn the drill press OFF, flip the switch downward.
4. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the safety key
(Fig. 19 - 1) from the switch. Store the safety key in a safe place away
from the reach of children.
Fig. 19
LIGHT & LASER LINE ON/OFF SWITCHES (FIG. 19)
The light switch (Fig. 19 - 3) is located on the lamp cover.
The laser switch (Fig. 19 - 4) is located below the ON/OFF switch on
the right.
Fig. 20
POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE (FIG. 20)
Always place a piece of backup material (Fig. 20 - 1) (wood, plywood,
etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece (Fig. 20 - 2). This will
prevent splintering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit
breaks through. To keep the material from spinning out of control, it
must contact the left side (Fig. 20 - 3) of the column as illustrated, or
be clamped (Fig. 20 - 4; not included) to the table.
NOTE: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a
drill press vise (not included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to
the table to avoid injury.

OPERATION
GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE
1. Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by using a center punch or a sharp nail or turn ON the laser to
mark your drilling point.
2. Before turning the drill press ON, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up
with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the drill press and pull down on the feed handles with the appropriate force needed to allow the
drill bit to drill the material.
NOTE: Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. Feeding too rapidly
might stop the motor, cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with
scrap material to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any drilling operation.
WARNING: To prevent the workpiece and the backup material from slipping from your hand
while drilling, position the workpiece and backup material to the left side of the column. If the
workpiece and the backup material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp the workpiece
and backup material to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.
Fig. 21A
ADJUST THE DRILLING DEPTH (FIG. 21A)
The depth gauge controls the maximum distance the drill bit will
move up or down.
TO STOP THE DRILL BIT AT A PRE-MEASURED DEPTH:
1. Rotate the lower depth scale knob (Fig. 21A - 2) until the bottom
of the knob is aligned with the desired depth mark
(Fig. 21A - 5) on the gauge scale.
2. Rotate the depth scale lock knob (Fig. 21A - 1) until it meets the
lower depth scale knob (Fig. 21A - 2). The chuck will stop after
travelling downward to the selected distance.
TO ADJUST THE QUILL (RETURN) HEIGHT:
To adjust the upward distance the quill (shaft that moves up and down) can travel:
1. Turn the feed handles until the quill is at the desired height and hold it there.
2. Rotate the lower depth knob (Fig. 21A - 3) until it rests against the bottom of the metal gauge support
(Fig. 21A - 4).
Drilling an unmeasured blind hole (not all the way through the workpiece) to a given depth can be done two
ways: using the depth scale method or workpiece method.

OPERATION
20
DEPTH SCALE METHOD (FIG. 21B)
1. Make sure the 0 (in or mm) mark on the depth gauge rests at the
top edge of the metal support (Fig. 21B - 4) when the quill is fully
retracted.
2. Put the workpiece on the table and raise the table until the tip of the
drill bit just touches the top of the workpiece. Lock the table in place.
3. Determine the drill depth for this workpiece.
4. Rotate the depth knob (Fig. 21B - 2) until it is aligned with the
desired depth mark (Fig. 21B - 3) (for example, 1") on the gauge scale.
5. The chuck will be stopped at the distance selected on the depth
scale.
Fig. 21B
DRILLING SPEEDS
There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed:
• Material type
• Hole size
• Drill bit or cutter type
• Quality desired
Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than
harder materials. See page 22 for recommended speeds for particular materials.
WORKPIECE METHOD (FIG. 21 & 22)
1. Mark the desired depth (Fig. 22 - 5) of the drill hole on the side of
the workpiece.
2. With the drill press in the OFF position, bring the drill bit
(Fig. 22 - 6) down until the tip is even with the mark.
3. Holding the feed handles at this position, rotate the depth knob
(Fig. 21 - 2) until it meets the metal support.
4. The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped at the distance
selected on the depth scale.

OPERATION
21
DRILLING METAL
• Use metal-piercing twist drill bits.
• It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating of the drill bit.
• All metal workpieces should be clamped down securely. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting causes a rough
drill hole, and increases the potential of drill bit breakage.
• Never hold a metal workpiece with your bare hands. The cutting edge of the drill bit may seize the
workpiece and throw it, causing serious injury. The drill bit will break if the metal piece suddenly hits the
column.
• If the metal is flat, clamp a piece of wood under it to prevent turning. If it cannot be laid flat on the table,
then it should be blocked and clamped.
DRILLING WOOD
• Brad point bits are preferred. Metal piercing twist bits may be used on wood.
• Do not use auger bits. Auger bits turn so rapidly that they can lift the workpiece off of the table and whirl
it around.
• Always protect the drill bit by positioning the table so that the drill bit will enter the center hole when
drilling through the workpiece.
• To prevent splintering, feed the drill bit slowly right as the bit is about to cut through to the backside of
the workpiece.
• To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block under
the workpiece.
FEEDING THE DRILL BIT
• Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.
• Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the drill
bit.
• Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.
Fig. 23
MECHANICAL VARIABLE SPEED (FIG. 23)
This is a mechanical variable speed drill press. To increase or decrease
the speed when operating, raise or lower the speed handle
(Fig. 23 - 1). Use the following table to determine the recommended
speed for the drill size you are using and the type of material you are to
drill. While drilling, check the speed on the digital speed readout
(Fig. 23 - 2) located at the front of the drill press.
