2. Position the rack in the slot in the table support, so that the rack teeth engage with the worm gear. Position the centre of the rack close to the worm gear as shown in Fig 2, with the long, smooth end uppermost.
HEAD TO COLUMN NOTE: It may be necessary to unscrew the set-screws (shown in fig.4) to ensure they do not protrude internally and foul the column, as this would prevent the head from sliding fully into position. 1. With the help of an assistant, lift up the head assembly and locate it on the column, ensuring it slides fully home.
INSTALLING THE CHUCK 1. Open the jaws of the chuck as far as possible using the chuck key supplied. Ensure the tapered hole in the chuck is clean and fit the chuck onto the tapered end of the drive spindle with a firm pressure.
SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS TABLE The table may be raised, lowered or swivelled around the column by slackening the table support locking handle shown in Fig 10, and adjusting the table position accordingly and retightening the locking handle. It may also be tilted by loosening the bolt which secures the table to its mounting, tilting the table to the required position and retightening...
SPINDLE DEPTH STOP Located on the spindle feed shaft is a depth stop collar, carrying a graduated scale (A, in Fig.13). The collar can rotate around the shaft and may be locked in place by the locking screw B. The graduations represent the hole depth in mm.
4. When the belt has been correctly positioned, re-tension by levering the motor away from the head until the belt deflects by approx 10 mm at its centre when using reasonable thumb pressure. 5. Lock the motor in this position with the belt tension locking knob. DRILL OPERATING SPEEDS The table below gives the belt arrangement for given drilling speeds.
OPERATION 1. Insert the drill bit into the jaws of the chuck by approx 1". Before tightening the chuck, ensure that the drill bit is centred within the jaws. 2. Ensure the table height and position is set, so that drill travel is sufficient for the job in hand.
