INSTALLING AND REMOVING DRILL BITS

NOTE: Use drill bits with a shank of 5/8" or less in

diameter.

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect it from power source before installing

and removing accessories, before adjusting or when

making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

1. Insert the smooth end of drill bit (L1) Fig. 46 in the

chuck (S1) as far as it will go, and then back the

bit out 1/16" (1.6 mm) (or up to the flutes for small

bits).

2. Center the drill bit (L1) Fig. 46 in the chuck (S1) before

tightening the chuck with the key (T1).

3. Turn the chuck key (T1) Fig. 46 clockwise to tighten

and counter-clockwise to loosen the chuck jaws.

4. Tighten all three chuck jaws to secure the drill bit

sufficiently to prevent slipping.

5. Remove the chuck key (T1) Fig. 46 from the chuck

before starting the drill press. The chuck key is

equipped with a self-ejecting pin (U1) which helps

minimize the potential for the key to be left in the

chuck.

REMOVING CHUCK AND SPINDLE ADAPTER

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off

and disconnect it from power source before installing

and removing accessories, before adjusting or when

making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The spindle adapter and chuck can be removed for the

purpose of using shanks with a #2 morse taper.

1. Align the slot in the quill (V1) Fig. 47 with the slot in the

spindle (W1).

2. Insert the drift key (X1) Fig. 48 through the slot in the

quill and the slot in the spindle.

3. Tap the drift key (X1) Fig. 48 with a hammer until the

the spindle adapter and chuck fall from the quill.

CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS

Factors that determine the correct speed are 1) the

workpiece, 2) the size of the hole, 3) the type of bit or

other cutter, and 4) the quality of cut.

DRILLING WOOD

To reduce the risk of injury, tighten all lock handles before starting the machine. Loss of control of the

workpiece can cause serious injury.

Twist drills, usually intended for metal drilling, can also be used for boring holes in wood. However, machine spur bits

are generally preferred for working in wood. These bits cut a flat-bottom hole and are designed for removal of wood

chips. Do not use hand bits (screw tip). At drill press speeds, they lift and rotate the workpiece.

For through boring, align the workpiece so that the bit will go through the center hole in the table. Scribe a vertical line

on the front of the column and a matching mark on the table bracket and the drill press head, so that the table and drill

press head can be clamped in the center position at any height.

Feed the drill bit slowly into the workpiece when the bit is close to cutting through the wood to prevent splintering the

bottom face. Use a scrap piece of wood as a base block under the work to reduce splintering and protect the point of

the bit.
