You may use this drill press for the following applications:
1. Drilling in wood.
2. Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates.
3. Drilling in metals.
WArning:
press before attempting to use it.
Position the Table and Work Piece
Always place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the work piece
This will prevent splintering on the underside of the work piece 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 illustrated, and
be clamped to the table.
For small work pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise
must be clamped or bolted on the table.
WArning:

may cause the work piece to be kicked back toward the operator and result in
serious personal injury.

General Drilling Instructions
1. using a clamping device, secure the work piece to the worktable. If drilling a through hole, place a
piece of backup material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the work piece to prevent
splintering on the underside of the work piece. To protect the top surface of the work piece, use a
piece of scrap wood between the vise and the work piece.
2 Select the proper drill bit based on the hole size desired. For large holes, drill a pilot hole first, using
a smaller size bit.
3 Select and set the recommended spindle speed.
4. Set table assembly to desired height.
5. If desired, set feed shaft at desired spindle depth. Refer to Set Drill Depth.
6. Make sure the work table is free of all loose objects and the bit is not in contact with the work piece.
7. Plug in power supply and turn switch ON. Make sure spindle rotates freely.
8. Slowly lower drill bit into work piece. Do not force the bit; let the drill press do the work.
9. Once the hole is completed, allow the spindle to return to its normal position.
WArning:
starting any drilling operation.
Drilling Tips
1. If a large hole is needed, it's a good idea to drill a smaller pilot hole before drilling the final one. your
hole will be more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last longer.
2. If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally to clear the chips.
3. When drilling metal, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
4. Smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed
than harder materials.
