the green (I) button on the switch.
2. Switch the drill press o by pressing
the red (O) button on the switch.
3. Secure your workpiece to the table
if possible, use a vice or clamps (not

An emergency o switch is located at
the front of the drill press to allow quick
access to stop the unit o. Simply press
this button in, to switch the unit o. This

Operating the drill press
1. Ensure the drill press is switched o
and disconnected from the power
supply.
2. Loosen the jaws of the keyed chuck
with the chuck key by turning in an
anti-clockwise direction and insert the
selected drill bit into the chuck as far
as it will go.
3. Ensure that the drill bit is centred in
the chuck and tighten the chuck jaws

4. SPEED ADJUSTMENTS
OPERATION
Changing the speed
The speed of the drill press can be changed by adjusting the belts on
the pulley system.
Using a smaller pulley on the spindle side increases the drill speed.
Using a larger pulley on the motor side will also increase the drill speed.
1. Loosen the 2 belt tension knobs.
2. Push the motor towards the
head assembly and tighten
the belt tension knobs.
3. To adjust the belt speed,
move the belts to the
correct pulley step for the
speed required.
See the diagram above for
all belt congurations.
When moving the belt, it
is easier to place the belt
onto
the small pulley rst and then turn it onto the larger pulley.
4. To apply tension to the belt
once it has been tted to a
new speed setting, loosen
the belt tension knobs. Pull
the motor away from the
head assembly and then
re-tighten the belt tension
knob.
