Workpiece method
1. Mark the depth of the hole (1) on the side
of the workpiece.
2. Turn the switch to “OFF,” bring the drill bit
down until the tip is even with the mark.
3. Hold the feed handle (2) at this position.
4. Depress the spring-loaded button (3) and
move the stop nut (4) until the bottom of
the nut contacts the stop (5).
5. Connect the machine to the power
source and drill a test hole to check the
adjustment. The drill bit will now stop
after traveling the distance marked on the
workpiece.
NOTE: Readjust, if necessary, by rotating
the stop nut (4) for ne adjustment. You
do not have to depress the button (3) to
rotate the stop nut (4).
Depth scale method
NOTE: With the chuck quill assembly fully
retracted the tip of the drill bit, the drill bit must
be just slightly above the top of the workpiece.
1. Turn the switch to “OFF,” rotate the feed
handle (2) until stop (5) points to the
desired depth on the depth scale (6) and
hold the feed handle (2) in that position.
2. Depress the spring-loaded button (3) and
move the stop nut (4) until the bottom of
the nut contacts the stop (5).
3. Connect the machine to the power
source and drill a test hole to check the
adjustment. The drill bit will stop after
traveling the distance selected on THE
DEPTH SCALE.
NOTE: Readjust, if necessary, by rotating
the stop nut (4) for ne adjustment. You
do not have to depress the button (3) to
rotate the stop nut (4).

INSTALLING A DRILL BIT IN THE CHUCK
(FIG. X)
1.
With the switch “OFF” and the safety key
removed, open the chuck jaws (1) using
the chuck key (2). Turn the chuck key
counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws (1).
2. Insert the drill bit (3) into the chuck far
enough to obtain maximum gripping by
the jaws, but not far enough to touch the
spiral grooves (utes) of the drill bit when
the jaws are tightened.
3. Make sure that the drill is centered in
the chuck.
4. Turn the chuck key (2) clockwise to
tighten the jaws (1).
To avoid injury or accident by the chuck
key ejecting forcibly from the chuck when
the power is turned “ON,” use only the
self-ejecting chuck key supplied with
this drill press. ALWAYS recheck and
remove the chuck key before turning the
power “ON.”
NOTE: To prevent the workpiece or
backup material from being torn from your
hands while drilling, you MUST position
the workpiece against the LEFT side of
the column. If the workpiece or the backup
material is not long enough to reach the
column, clamp them to the table. Failure
to secure the workpiece could result in
personal injury.
