POSITIONING THE TABLE ANDWORKPIECE (FIG.Y,
and Z)
1. Lock the table (I) to the column (2) at a position so
the tip of the drill bit (3) is just above the top of the
workpiece (4).
2. ALWAYS place a SACK-UP MATERIAL (scrap wood)
on the table beneath the workpiece. This willprevent
splintering or heavy burring on the underside ofthe
workpiece. To keep the beck-up material from
spinning out of control, it MUST contact the LEFT
side of the column.
3. For small pieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
use a drill press vise (optional accessory).

To prevent the workpiece or beckup material from being
tom from your hands while drilling,you MUST position it
againstthe LEFT side ofthe column,ffthe workpisce or the
beckup matedal is not long enough to reach the column,
usethe fence providedwith the ddUpress to brace the
workpiece, or clamp it to the table. Failure to do this could
resultin personal injury.

in the workpiece where you want the hole.
2. Using the feed handles, bang the ddll downto align
withthe indentationbefore turning the drillON,
TILTING THETABLE (FIG. AA)
NOTE: The table arm and support(1) has a predrilled hole
with a locking set screw inserted for lockingthe table intoa
predetermined0° horizontalposition.

To avoid injuryfrom spinningwork or tool breakage,
always clamp workpieco end backup material securely to
the table before operating the ddUpress with the table
tilted.
FEEDING
1. Pull downthe feed handles with only enough effort to
allow the ddll bitto cut.
2. Feeding too slowlymight cause the drill bit to burn.
Feeding too rapidly mightstop the motor, cause the
