3. Remove the switch disabling insert to prevent unauthorised use and store it in a secure location out of reach of children. Turning on the REDEYE® laser line generator 1. The REDEYE® laser line generator emits two intense narrow beams of pure red light that intersect at the drilling point. 2. The intersection is clearly visible and will not be obscured by dust. It improves operator drilling vision, enables faster set-up, increases accuracy and improves safety. 3. To turn the laser line on move the switch to the ‘I’ position. 4. To turn off the laser line move the switch to the ‘O’ position. Adjusting the laser 1. Clamp a scrap piece of material to the table. 2. Insert a drill bit into the chuck jaws. 3. Turn on the drill press. 4. Using the feed wheel lower the spindle and make a small mark in the workpiece. 5. Turn on the laser line generator. 6. If the laser is not aligned with the mark in the work piece, adjust as follows. 7. Using the 3mm hex key loosen the set screw that secures the laser light assembly. 8. Rotate the laser beam until it intersects the mark in the workpiece. 9. Repeat the process for the other side. Operation Caution. Always ensure that the drill press is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments. Caution. For through drilling always ensure that the hole in the centre of the table is aligned with the drill bit. Warning. On start-up over-tightening the belts may prevent the drill press from starting. Warning. Don’t force the drill, allow the drill bit to do the work. 1. Adjust the table height, table angle, drilling depth and speed as required for the application. 2. Insert the drill bit required for the application. 3. Mark the drilling points on the work piece. 4. Switch on the laser line and line up with the drilling point with the intersection point of the two beams. 5. Where possible secure the workpiece in position with vice or clamps. 6. Turn on the drill press using the on/off switch. 7. Rotate the feed wheel to bring the drill bit down to the workpiece. 8. Apply pressure to the feed wheel and slowly drill through the workpiece. Don’t force the drill, allow the drill bit to do the work. 9. After drilling the hole release the feed wheel and allow the spindle to return to its original position. 10. Turn off the drill press. 11. Turn off the laser line generator. Wood drilling • For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling. • Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning when drilling. • When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole. Metal drilling • For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling. • Use a centre punch to mark the hole location on the workpiece. • Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will: • Overheat the drill • Wear the bearings • Bend or burn bits • Produce off-centre or irregular shaped holes • When drilling large holes in metal it is recommended to drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life. Maintenance Warning. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making and adjustments or maintenance procedures. Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a soft brush or a rag. 3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. Caution. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. General inspection Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time. Repairs Only an authorised service centre should replace the cordset or effect other repairs. If the cordset is damaged or worn, have it repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre. Troubleshooting Warning. Turn the on/off switch to the off position and unplug the tool from the power supply before performing trouble shooting procedures. Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Drill press will not start Power cord not plugged in Ensure that the cord is connected to the power supply Power fault, fuse or circuit breaker tripped Check the power supply Cord damaged Use authorised service centre to repair or replace Faulty switch Use authorised service centre to repair or replace Faulty motor Use authorised service centre to repair or replace the motor Noisy operation Incorrect belt tension Adjust tension as required Drill bit burns Incorrect speed Change speed, refer to the “Changing the speed” section Chips not coming out of hole Retract drill bit frequently to clear holes Dull drill bit Resharpen or replace drill bit Excessive drill bit wobble Bent drill ...
