HOW TO SET UP - OPERATE
AND
MAINTAIN
NO. 24503 DRILL PRESS
MECHANICAL PREPARATION
MOUNTING
To
assure
optimum accuracy and vibration
free operation, the
machine
should be leveled
on and mounted to a concrete
base.
The drilling table should be used as a
reference plane for level-
ing. A spirit level on this surface will
provide the required
accuracy.
Locate four concrete fasteners to
line up
with the mounting
holes in the machine base. Bolting
thru these holes into the
concrete fasteners will secure the
machine.
nhen
tightening
the securing bolts, the drilling table
should
be checked,
with a
spirit level, to assure that it
has remained level.

bearings and
gears in the machine
have been
greæed
at
the
factory.
When
lubricating through
the oil nipples
which are
placed
on
the machine
only first
class
machine oil
should be
used
and
only a few
drops each time.
Too ample
might
damage the motor
which is
placed in
the spindle housing.
Level
plug (A) for the
oil level in the
feed gear box is
placed at
the
rear
on the cover.
Fill the power feed gear
box to the level

ELECTRICAL
PREPARATION
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
This
machine

voltage
specified
on
the
nameplate
±
10%,
since
it
is
not a dual voltage
unit.
Before
connecting
the machine
to
the
power
source
make
certain
the
nameplate
voltage
and
the
voltage
of the
power
source
match.
A separate
110 volt
single
phase
line
is
also required
for
work table
light.
