12Work LightInstall a light bulb, no larger than 60 watts intothe socket accessed from beneath the head.The rocker switch controls the light switch (D,Fig. 13). IMPORTANT: If the drill press isconnected to 230 volt power, you must install abulb rated for 230 volt.Table Tilt AdjustmentThe table tilt adjustments are made on the tablebracket under the table.To tilt the table (refer to Figures 14 and 15):In the following steps do not over loosen.This could result in the table assembly toseparate from the column, fall and causeinjury.1. Loosen the socket head set screw (A) with a3mm hex wrench.2. Using a 15/16" wrench, loosen the hex capscrew (B), and tilt the table to the desiredangle by aligning the arrow (C, Fig. 15) onthe rotating part of the bracket to the desiredangle (in degrees) displayed on the scale(D, Fig 15) at the base of the bracket.3. Tighten the hex cap screw (B).4. Tighten the socket head set screw (A).Figure 14Figure 15OperationInstalling DrillsInsert the drill into the chuck jaws about1" (25.4mm) long. When using a small drill donot insert it so far that the jaws touch the flutesof the drill. Make sure that the drill is centered inthe chuck before tightening the chuck with thekey.Positioning the WorkpieceAlways place a piece of wood (or plywood) onthe table. This will prevent "splintering" ormaking heavy burrs on the underside of theworkpiece as the drill breaks through. The woodshould contact the left side of the column.Using the ViseFor the small workpiece that cannot be clampedto the table, use a drill press vise. The vise mustbe clamped or bolted to the table. Always use aback-up piece of scrap wood to cover the table.This protects both the table and the drill bit.Basic OperationPlace material to be drilled in such as way as tocome into contact with the left side of thecolumn. This prevents the material fromspinning.If the work piece is not large enough to comeinto contact with the column, use a clamp ordrill press vise that is securely fastened tothe table! Failure to comply may causeserious injury!Feed the bit into the material with only enoughforce to allow the drill bit to work. Feeding tooslowly may cause burning of the workpiece.Feeding too quickly may cause the motor to stopand/or the drill bit to break.
