Use and Care Manual

OPERATION

WARNING: For your safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power supply before maintaining

or lubricating the drill press.

Vacuum sawdust or metal shavings that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.

Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the

spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.

Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.

CAUTION: All servicing of the drill press should be performed by a qualified service technician.

either Belt A-1 position or Belt B-2 position (seen below in the “Recommended Working Speeds” chart) depend-

ing on the RPM range needed. Retighten the spindles using the Lock Handle and then shut the belt cover.
