Self-Start
The “Self-Start” feature enables a one-handed drilling operation by automatically turning on and off the motor at pre-determined
start depths. The motor will start running at 0.29”/7mm and stop once it returns to 0.24”/6mm.
For reference, the programming includes the following characteristics:
a. After this feature has been turned on, the handle must be raised to the top of the quill stroke before the first "self-
start" can begin.
b. If the user is in the menu while the machine is idle, the self-start will not START, but it will STOP if the machine is
running with the quill extended, the feature is activated, and the handle is raised to the stop point.
c. By default, the safety feature including warning sounds and a delay before the motor self-starts is turned OFF. This
setting can be accessed through the following menu path: Menu>Configuration>Drill Settings>Sounds/Warnings.
Advanced Modes
Pilot Hole
The “Pilot Hole” feature enables the user to skip the separate operation of drilling a pilot hole (in most cases) for locating a larger
drill bit. Using this feature, the machine will begin drilling at a slower speed, and once the bit is seated and grabs enough material,
the machine will sense this and ramp up to the set run speed. The machine determines this by sensing the load placed on the motor
and responding when load threshold (this value is determined by the selected material) has been reached.
To enable the “Pilot Hole” feature, simply toggle “Slow Start” to ON, set the start speed (250 by default), and select
Other/Metal/Wood. Metal will set the load threshold the highest, followed by Wood and then Other requires the smallest increase
in load to ramp up.
IMPORTANT: Once the drill begins running after “Pilot Hole” is turned on, the display will first show “Pilot Initialize” at the bottom
and then change to “Pilot Ready” when fully initialized. Allow the machine to reach the pilot speed and fully initialize before
drilling. If drilling begins prematurely, the load sensing will not calculate correctly, and the drill likely will not ramp up to full speed at
the appropriate time.
Tapping Mode
The tapping feature has two options for programmed cycles for tapping. Both modes require the user to manually feed the tap during
tapping and should only be used when starting the drill in the Forward direction.
1. Load Sense – This mode will use the load sensor to determine when it has started tapping and enter a chip breaking cycle. This cycle
uses the load sensor to determine when the drill needs to switch to reverse to chip break for a fixed amount of time, and then returns
to forward to tap again. This repeats until the drill press senses the tapping is complete via the load OR if the user presses the <ON>
button.
NOTE: Recommended for through-hole tapping only.
2. Chip Breaker – This mode will use the load sensor to determine when it has started tapping and enter a chip breaking cycle. This cycle
uses a fixed amount of time before switching to reverse to chip break for a fixed amount of time, and then it returns to forward to tap
again. This repeats until the drill press senses the tapping is complete via the load OR if the user presses the <ON> button.
Edit F Shortcuts
The <F1> to <F4> keys can be used to quickly modify a large variety of settings while the motor is idle or running. To set the
alternate functions, go to Menu > Edit F Shortcut. There it will show the current functions for each button. Selecting one of these list
items will open up the list of settings available for each F button. These custom F button functions will be stored permanently in the
memory until a factory reset is performed.
Edit Favorite Speeds
The favorite speed function has traditionally been a feature in the DVR motors. The favorite speeds allow the user to quickly switch
between a set of predefined or user defined speeds. The favorite speeds can be accessed by pressing the <F1> to <F4> keys to select
Fav. Speed #1 to #4 respectively.
