GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result. 1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE. Read the manual carefully. Learn the machines applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 2.
19. DO NOT STAND ON THE MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped over. Do not store materials above or near the machine such that it is necessary to stand on the machine to get to them. 20. NEVER operate a machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. 21. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
PREPARATION On receipt, carefully unpack the components, ensuring that no damage was suffered in transit, and that all parts are accounted for. The following loose items are to be found in the packing case. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. Table Assy. Column Assy. This Manual Box of loose parts Base. Head Assy. 1 X Bag of loose parts. Chuck Guard Assy. Check the parts against the above list and refer to the diagrams below.
Remove all traces of preservative from the components with paraffin or a good quality solvent, and wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean dry cloth. Apply a coating of wax paste or light oil, to the table, column and base, to prevent rust. Take the necessary precautions when lifting components, considering their weight. Assistance will be required.
ASSEMBLY CAUTION! ASSISTANCE MUST BE USED WHEN ASSEMBLING THIS MACHINE. A. Column to the Base. Fig. 1 Bolt the column assembly to the base with the four M10 x 40mm hex. screws provided. NOTE: Ideally - the base, with column attached, should be firmly bolted to the floor or workbench prior to the assembly of other components. Check to ensure the column securing set screws, at the column support, are tight. B. Table to Column. 1. Thread the Table Support Locking Handle (see Fig.
E. Installing the Chuck. 1. Slide the table up the column and secure it to within 6" of the spindle. 2. Open the jaws of the chuck to their maximum, using the chuck key supplied. 3. Put a piece of scrap wood on to the table to protect the chuck nose. 4. Ensuring all parts are thoroughly clean, dry, and burr free, place the chuck over the end of the spindle, and pull the spindle down using the feed handles, pressing the chuck jaws hard against the piece of scrap wood until the chuck is forced home.
SETTINGS and ADJUSTMENTS Fig. 7 1. Table. The table may be raised, lowered or swivelled about the column, by slackening off the Table Support Locking Handle, (Fig.7), adjusting accordingly, and re-tightening the handle. It may also be tilted by loosening the M16 Screw, which secures the table to its’ mounting, beneath the table, tilting to the required position and re-tightening the Screw. Fig. 9 A scale is provided on the table mounting, measured in degrees, to assist in setting the required angle, (Fig.
2. Changing Drill (Spindle) Speed. Fig. 11 Before changing the speeds, ensure the machine is switched OFF, and disconnected from the mains supply. 1 Undo the Belt Tension Locking Screws (A Fig. 11), one either side of the head, and turn lever B - Fig.5 clockwise to relieve any tension on the belts. Referring to the chart inside the belt cover (which is duplicated below), fit the belts in the positions corresponding to the spindle speed required. 2.
OPERATION. 1. Insert the drill bit into the jaws of the chuck by approx 1", ensuring that the jaws do not touch the flutes of the drill. Before tightening the chuck, ensure that the drill is centred within the jaws. 2. Ensure the table height and position is set so that drill travel is sufficient for the job in hand. 3. Ensure the work is securely clamped, or, held in a drill vice, bolted to the table. Never hold it with bare hands.
MAINTENANCE For maximum performance, it is essential that the Drill Press is properly maintained. Always inspect the machine for damage, and security of components before use. Any damage should be repaired, and faults rectified. If the mains lead is worn, cut or damaged in any way, it should be replaced immediately. Please refer to the trouble shooting chart on page 16.
CUTTING SPEEDS Factors which determine the best speed to use in any drill press operation are: 1. Kind of material being worked. 2. Size of hole. 3. Type of drill. 4. Quality of cut desired. Generally, the smaller the drill, the greater the required RPM. In soft material, the speed should be higher than for hard metals. As a guide, the drill speed for a given drill bit size, is according to the table below.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBABLE CAUSE PROBLEM REMEDY Noisy operation (under load) A) B) C) D) Incorrect belt tension Dry spindle Loose pulley Worn bearing A) Adjust tension B) Remove spindle/quill assembly and lubricate C) Tighten pulley D) Replace bearing Excessive drill wobble A) B) C) D) Loose chuck Worn spindle, or bearing Worn chuck Bent drill A) Tighten by pressing chuck down on to a block of wood against the table.
