LASER ON/OFF SWITCH

The laser switch is located on the lefthand side of the drill press (Fig. 10,

p. 14). Replace batteries as needed by popping open the housing.

POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE

Always place a piece of scrap material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table

underneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering on the underside

of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the material from

spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column as il-

lustrated (Fig. 23), or be clamped (not included) to the table.

OPERATION

ON/OFF SWITCH WITH SAFETY KEY

1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the yellow safety key (Fig. 22 - 1) into the

switch housing (Fig. 22 - 2). As a safety feature, the switch cannot be turned

ON without the safety key.

2. Flip the switch upward to the ON position.

3. To turn the drill press OFF, flip the switch downward.

4. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the safety key (Fig. 22 - 1)

from the switch. Store the safety key in a safe place.

NOTE: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not included). The

vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury. Drill press clamps and drill press vises can be

purchased at wenproducts.com.

DRILLING SPEEDS

There are a few important factors to keep in mind when determining the best drilling speed:

• Material type

• Hole size

• Drill bit or cutter type

• Quality desired

Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than

harder materials.

WARNING: Remove the safety key whenever the dril is not in use. Place the key in a safe

place and out of the reach of children.
