SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Installing the Bit
CAUTION! Wear heavy-duty work gloves to provide
protection when inserting and removing drill bits. Drill
bits become very hot during use. Do not remove a drill
bit until it has cooled.
1. Loosen the Chuck with the Chuck Key until the jaws
of the drill are opened enough to fit the drill bit..
2. Insert the drill bit approximately 1″ into
the jaws of the Chuck, ensuring that the
jaws do not touch the flutes of the bit.
3. Hand tighten the Chuck until the bit is held
securely in place. Confirm that the bit is
centered between the Chuck jaws.
4. Use the Chuck Key to tighten the Chuck.
• Insert the tip of the Chuck Key into a hole on the
side of the Chuck so that the teeth on the Key
engage the gear on the Chuck. Use the Key to
tighten the Chuck securely and remove the Key.
NOTICE: Use sharp bits. Dull, bent, or damaged
bits will cause stress on the drill and/or break.
Setting the Drilling Depth
See Figure G.
Located around the Spindle Feed Shaft is a
Depth Stop Collar (A) carrying a graduated scale.
The Collar will turn around the Shaft, and can
be locked in place by a Lock Knob (B).
1. With the power to the Drill Press switched OFF, use
the Spindle Feed Handles to lower the drill until the
bit contacts the workpiece and hold it in that position.
2. Loosen the Lock Knob and turn the Collar so
that the measurement for the required hole
depth is aligned with the Pointer (C).
3. Tighten the Lock Knob to lock
the Collar in this position.
