3. If you are tapping a blind hole, please use the Travel Limiter
Stop and the tapping depth meter see “THE PROPER USE OF
THE TAPPING DEPTH METER” and "SETTING THE TRAVEL
LIMITER STOP" above.
4. To begin tapping, start the machine by turning on the motor
switch and use the crank to feed the tap to the work. When
there is no feed pressure from the crank, the spindle will be in
neutral and will not spin. When there is forward feed pressure,
the spindle will automatically spin in the forward (right hand)
direction. Tap the hole, then simply back out the crank to
reverse the spindle and remove the tap. When there is
backward pressure from the crank, the spindle will
automatically spin in the reverse (left hand) direction. (Note
that it is not possible to tap left-hand threads with this
machine).
CAUTION: Do not too much reverse pressure when backing out
the tap or the tap could pull out of the chuck. This could lead to
premature wear of the chuck.
SETTING UP FOR TWIST DRILLING
CAUTION: Never use a cutting tool which is larger than the maximum rated capacity of the machine.
NOTE: It is recommended to always use cutting oil on the twist drill to give longer drill life and better
results. The automatic coolant system only works for annular cutters. Twist drills must be lubricated
manually
1. If it is not mounted, mount the chuck to the Drill Chuck Arbor.
2. Push up on the Quick-Release Collar to mount the Drill Chuck Arbor to the machine. Double check to
ensure that the arbor is locked in place.
3. Insert the drill bit into the chuck and tighten with the chuck key.
4. If it is in tapping mode, shift the gearbox to drilling mode by swinging the gear selector tab out of the
detent slot then shifting upwards into drilling mode. Then pop the selector tab back into the detent. It
will usually be necessary to grab the arbor and push the spindle upwards while turning a little by hand
to get the selector to shift all the way up. Only
grab the Arbor when turning the spindle, never the
Quick-Release Collar. Otherwise, it will be easy to
accidentally release the arbor and it will fall out.
