3. Using the bubble level, adjust the four leveling bolts to achieve a good level positioning, then fully
tighten the center anchor bolt. The entire rig must be mounted solidly.

5) THE SWITCH
230V models:
This machine has a rocker switch. Press the switch to the on position to turn on.
Press the switch to the off position to turn off. If there is an interruption to the
power supply, the machine will restart when the power returns.
WARNING: Accidental starting hazard. Always ensure that the switch is in the
OFF position before plugging in.
WARNING: Whenever there is an interruption to the power supply, turn the switch to the OFF position to
avoid an accidental restart when power returns.
110V models:
This machine has a relay-type rocker switch. Press the switch to the on position
to turn on. Press the switch to the off position to turn off. Since this is a relay
type switch, if there is an interruption to the power supply, the machine will
not restart when the power returns. In this case first turn the switch to the off
position then back to the on position to restart.
6) OVERLOAD PROTECTION AND OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Overload Warning System:
When the load reaches overload conditions, the warning system will kick in, lowering the voltage and causing
the motor to stop. Simply back off on the feed handle to ease the load and the motor will automatically restart.
Then the operator can continue to drill normally.
Overload:
If the excessive load is sustained too long, the motor will shut down completely. In this case, the motor must be
restarted. When this happens, the motor will very likely be near overheating, so it is also a good idea to run the
motor at no load for a few minutes to cool it before continuing.
Overheat Thermal Protection:
If the temperature of the motor gets too high, the thermal protection will shut the motor down. When this
happens, do not immediately start drilling after restarting the motor. Always run the machine at no load for a
few minutes to return to a normal operating temperature before continuing.
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated.
Always cool the motor by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or
