OPERATION

Your drill press is to be used with drill bits with a shank of 1/2" or less in diameter. The following will give the inexperienced

operator a start on common drill press operations. Use scrap material for practice to get a feel of the machine before

attempting regular work.

WARNING: The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta may result in risk of injury.

IMPORTANT: When the workpiece is long enough it

should always be positioned on the table with one end

against the left side of the column, as shown in Fig. 30.

This prevents the workpiece from rotating with the drill

bit or cutting tool, causing damage to the workpiece or

personal injury to the operator. If it is not possible to

support the workpiece against the column, the

workpiece should always be fastened to the table using

clamps or a vise.

INSTALLING AND

REMOVING DRILL BITS

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Insert smooth end of drill bit (A) Fig. 31, into chuck

(B), as far as it will go, and then back the bit out 1/16",

or up to the flutes for small bits.

3. Make certain that the drill bit (A) Fig. 31, is centered

in the chuck (B) before tightening the chuck with the key

(C).

4. Turn the chuck key (C) Fig. 31, clockwise to tighten

and counterclockwise to loosen the chuck jaws.

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

sufficiently so that it does not slip while drilling.

6. MAKE SURE chuck key (C) Fig. 31, is removed from

chuck before starting drill press. Your chuck key (C) is

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

minimize the hazard of the key being left in the chuck.
