9 OPERATION
▪ Use waste material to practice your skills and to learn operating the machine first.
▪ When drilling through, adjust the table to make sure that the drill is aligned with the
opening in the centre of the table. If required, mark the position on the front side of pillar
and table in case the table should be set in the same position at a later time. Securely
tighten the workpiece. Toppling, turning or sliding not only results in a rough drilling hole, it
also increases the risk of the drill breaking off.
▪ Use a piece of waste wood as a backup to reduce the risk of the workpiece splintering and
to protect the drill tip.
▪ Place flat workpieces on a wooden underground and clamp securely to the table to
prevent them from turning. Support workpieces that are irregular of shape and cannot be
put flat onto the table.
▪ Use the lift handles to bring the drill lift downwards. Slowly feed the drill into the
workpiece.
▪ Drill slowly when the drill is about to break through the workpiece to prevent splintering.
9.1 Using a machine vice (vice not supplied) (Fig. 11)
▪ Warning: The drill should never be used without the work piece being securely held
in a machine vice or clamped directly to the drill table (8).
▪ The drill table (8) is designed to accept a variety of machine vice which can be fastened
directly to the drill table (8).
▪ Always secure the vice tot the table (8) with bolts, washer and nuts.
▪ If the drill jams into the work piece an unsecured machine vice will spin out of control
causing the drill to snap and possibly injure the operator (Fig. 11).
9.2 Using the 3 jaw chuck (Fig. 12)
▪ Select the drill bit required.
▪ Open the jaws and insert the drill shank centrally into the chuck (9).
▪ Rotate the chuck (9) by hand until the jaws grip the drill bit.
▪ The chuck (9) has three holes around the chuck body. Locate the chuck key and using an
even torque move from each hole location until all three holes have been covered.
Continue with the steady torque until tight.
▪ Do not over tighten otherwise you will have difficulty removing the drill bit (Fig. 12).
▪ NOTE: remove the chuck key before use.
▪ Different drill bits can be used with this product depending on the workpiece material and
application required.
