Operation
(3) Set the drilling depth
Pull the control arm (1) down, advancing the drill bit (22) until the tip
touches the fence (16). If necessary, turn the drilling-depth stop knob
(23) counterclockwise. Return the control arm to the full-up position,
retracting the bit.
Place the drilling-depth setting block (24) against the fence with the
screw-length marks facing up. Center the block step that corresponds
to the length of screw you'll be using on the drill guide (25). Pull down
on the control arm, inserting the drill-bit pilot tip into the hole in the
step. With the drill-bit shoulder against the block step, turn the drilling-
depth stop knob (23) clockwise until it stops. Tighten the depth-stop
jam nut (26) against the base of the clamp-arm housing (27). Return
the control arm to the full-up position.
ATTENTION
When re-locking the control arm for transportation or
storage, turn the depth-stop knob counterclockwise to allow the
arm to return to the full-down position.
WARNING
Keep hands away from the rotating drill bit and
workpiece clamp area when operating the machine.
(4) Adjust the workpiece clamp
Raise the control arm (1) to the full-up position. Place the workpiece
against the fence (16) and under the clamp pad (28). Turn the clamp
adjustment knob (29) clockwise until the clamp pad contacts the
workpiece. Now turn the knob counterclockwise one-half turn. Tighten
the clamp jam nut (30) against the clamp arm (31). The clamp is now
positioned so lowering the control arm applies sufficient pressure to
secure the workpiece before the drill bit enters the wood.
Drilling pocket holes
WARNING
Before connecting the machine to power, make sure
the access panel is closed and locked. To lock the panel, turn the
access panel lock (32) clockwise with the 3mm hex wrench (13).
WARNING
Keep hands away from the rotating drill bit and
workpiece clamp area when operating the machine.
When using the chip-collection system, connect a shop vacuum
to the vacuum port (5) and turn it on. Hold the workpiece securely
against the fence (16) with the pocket-hole location centered on the
drill guide (25). Depress the switch lock-out button (33) on the control
arm (1) and pull the switch (34), turning on the drill motor. Let the
motor reach full speed and pull the control arm down in a smooth
motion until the depth stop makes contact. Return the control arm to
the full-up position and release the switch.
Pocket-hole placement
In addition to the proper machine settings, proper spacing of pocket
holes in the workpiece is important for making a strong joint. For
narrow parts such as rails, stiles and frames, locate pocket holes
10mm to 13mm from each edge. Shaded lines on the measuring tape
indicate this offset, eliminating the need to mark pocket-hole locations.
Simply align the edge of your workpiece with the shaded line and drill.
For wide parts such as panels and table tops, place the first pocket
hole 50mm from the edge and every 150mm on center after that.
