GENERAL SAFETY

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner's manual carefully. Learn the tool's applications, work capabilities, and its specific potential hazards.

BEFORE USING YOUR MACHINE

To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the machine.

  1. Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

  • Lead from lead-based paints.
  • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other
  • masonry products.
  • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

  • READ the entire Owner's Manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.

  • GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The 3rd prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the 3rd prong. See Grounding Instructions on the following pages.

  • AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT use electrical tools in a damp environment or expose them to rain.

  • DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
  • ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and organized. DO NOT work in an environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.
  • KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.
  • DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the tool was intended.
  • WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. These items can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. The user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if the hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.
  • CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
  • ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  1. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.

  2. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.

  3. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning "ON" the machine.

  4. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper accessories could cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that particular accessory.

  5. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. DO NOT leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

  6. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the tool.

  7. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.

  8. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. DO NOT extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

  9. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.

  10. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.

  11. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.

  12. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work piece with your hands.

  13. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

  1. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

  2. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.

ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING & REMOVING THE CHUCK

IMPORTANT! It is important that the tapered hole in the chuck, tapered hole in the spindle and both tapered ends of the arbor are free of any grease, oil, lacquer or rust protection.

These tapered surfaces must be absolutely clean for a precision fitting of the parts, so slipping of the chuck during use does not occur unless there is extreme rotational pressure during use. This is a safety feature of this type of friction fit joint.

INSTALLING THE CHUCK

  1. Carefully insert the arbor's short, JT3 tapered end into the rear tapered hole of the chuck. FIG. 9.
  2. Next, take the chuck and insert the long, MT2 tapered end of the arbor into the drill press spindle's tapered hole. Make sure to align the flat part of the arbor with the slot in the spindle. FIG. 10.
  3. Open the jaws of the chuck until the 3 jaws are completely hidden inside of the chuck body.
  4. Using a rubber mallet, or hammer with a block of wood protecting the chuck, tap the chuck with its arbor into the drill press spindle. This will securely seat the chuck in place for drilling. FIG. 11.

CAUTION NEVER HIT THE CHUCK WITH A METAL HAMMER. This could damage the chuck assembly, arbor or drill press spindle.

REMOVING THE CHUCK

  1. Open the chuck jaws as wide as possible to prevent damage in the following steps.
  2. Lower the spindle until the slot in the spindle is exposed, and lock it in place with the lower, Depth Stop Block/circular nut (#14, on Parts Diagram D). FIG. 12.
  3. Turn the chuck until the slots in the spindle (#3D) and Quill (#6D) align, and a through-hole is exposed.
  4. Insert the Key-Drift (#5D), into the slots and hole above the chuck arbor, with the drift's flat side up.
  5. Gently tap the key-drift with a mallet to release the chuck. NOTE: Be prepared to catch the chuck as it is released to prevent any damage to it or the arbor.

  1. TO RAISE OR LOWER THE TABLE along the column, the Locking Handle (#12, on Parts Diagram A) must be loosened. FIG. 13, A.
  2. Use the Crank Handle (#6A, B) to raise or lower the work table to the height that you need.

NOTE: Always raise the table to your final height so that the gears mesh together best to prevent slippage.

  1. When the table is at the proper height, tighten the Locking Handle to secure the table in position.
  2. TO ROTATE THE TABLE left or right, loosen the Locking Handle (#18A) that is positioned directly below the table. FIG. 14, C.

NOTE: If needed for special drilling or project clamping applications, the whole table assembly can be swiveled 360° around the column. Loosen the Set Screw (#11A) on the Collar Rack (#10A), Locking Lever (#12A) and carefully rotate the table assembly with the rack around the column to the location you need. Then re-tighten the set screws and lever to secure the parts in the new position on the column.

  1. TO TILT THE TABLE on an angle, the table and support arm assembly move together. Loosen the large M16x35 Bolt (#19A) with the 24mm wrench provided. FIG. 15 & 16.
  2. The table and support arm can be tilted left or right. An Angle Scale (#15A) is provided on the casting to indicate the degree of tilt of the table. FIG. 15. When the desired table tilting angle is found, the large bolt needs to be tightened.
  3. To return the table to the level position, 90° to the spindle, loosen the large bolt secured in step 5. Rotate the table assembly until the angle scale curser lines up with the 0° mark. Then re-tighten the large bolt on the support arm.
  4. TO SET THE TABLE TO HORIZONTAL, or 90° to the Quill, use a mechanic's square. Set the square on the table and position it against a twist drill bit that is held in the chuck. Adjust the table angle as needed to set it at the horizontal 90° position.

NOTE: The hex screw (#11A) that is located below the large bolt can also be used to slightly tilt the table level towards the column, if necessary, to adjust the table horizontal in this direction.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH STOP

The Depth Stop is used for boring multiple holes at the same, identical depth. The threaded rod includes a scale and a large quick release nut for fast setting of the depth that the spindle/chuck will travel. FIG. 17.

The chuck's travel distance/depth is read on the scale at the top of the Depth Setting Nut (#16 on Parts Diagram D). At reading '0', the Depth Setting Nut should be down on top of the Depth Plate (#58 on Diagram B). FIG. 17.

Setting the a specific depth can be done in 2 ways:

THE DEPTH SCALE METHOD

  1. With your workpiece on the table, raise the table until the surface of the workpiece touches the drill bit that is in the chuck. Lock the table in position.
  2. Adjust the Depth Setting Nut to the desired depth on the threaded rod's scale. The Depth Nut has a quick release button for fast moving of the nut. NOTE: Depth is read at the TOP of the nut. The Depth Nut can also be rotated for fine depth adjustments. FIG. 18.
  3. Drill a test hole to check the depth setting, and adjust the depth setting as necessary. It is best to use a scrap piece of wood, that is the exact same thickness of your workpiece, for test drilling to ensure the proper results.

THE WORKPIECE METHOD

  1. Mark a line on the side of a workpiece at the desired depth needed.
  2. Lower the drill bit that is in the chuck along the side of the workpiece, until it aligns with the drawn line. NOTE: The machine must be OFF for this procedure.
  3. Holding the drill bit at the desired depth, lower the Depth Setting Nut until it rests down on the metal Depth Plate. The drilling depth is now set.
  4. Drill a test hole to check the depth setting, and adjust as necessary. It is best to use a scrap piece of wood that is the exact same thickness of your workpiece for test drilling, to ensure the proper results.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE QUILL HEIGHT

The Quill (#6D, Fig. 20, A) can be set to a particular depth or position with the lower, round Depth Motion Nut (#14D, B) on the Depth Threaded Rod (#15D, C). This nut is located under the metal Depth Plate (#58D, FIG. 20 D).

  1. Lower the Quill/Chuck to the depth that is desired with the feed handles.
  2. Turn the Depth Motion Nut (B) up the Threaded Rod (C) until it stops up against the Depth Plate (D).
  3. Release your hold on the drill press' feed handles and the Quill with chuck will stay in the set position.

The Drill Press motor MUST be operating before changing the speeds is done, or damage to the speed adjustment mechanisms may result.

  1. To adjust the operating speeds while the drill press is running, rotate the Speed Handle Lever (#39B, Fig. 21, C) until the desired speed is shown on the LED display (D) on the machine front. FIG. 21.

  2. Move the lever FORWARD for slower speeds.

  3. Move the lever BACKWARD to increase speed.

This Drill Press has two variable speed ranges from 200 to 700 and 600 to 2,200 RPM. To change from one speed range to the other, only the rear Drive V-Belt (#1C) needs to be re-positioned on the pulleys.

  1. Loosen the belt tension by moving the motor closer to the head casting. Loosen the two Lock Knobs (#6B) then pull the Tension Lever (#5B) forward to shift the motor mount assembly forward. See page 10, Figures 6 & 7 for photos identification of these parts.

  2. Move the V-Belt on the rear and center pulleys to set the drill press speeds as shown to the right;

  3. LOW SPEED - Belt is on the large, top step on the center pulley to the small top step on the rear pulley.

  4. HIGH SPEED - Belt is on the small, bottom step on the center pulley to the large, bottom step on the rear pulley.

  5. Reset the Belt tension by moving the motor back from the head casting by reversing the steps in #2.

ADJUSTMENTS

The Chuck will automatically return upward to its original starting position when the operating handle is released. The Return Spring Mechanism, FIG. 22, has been preset at the factory and should not require any adjustments. However, should the spring tension decline and need adjustment, follow these steps;

  1. Disconnect the Drill Press from its power source.
  2. Loosen the Spring Cover Nuts (FIG. 22, A, #45 on Parts Diagram B), but DO NOT REMOVE the nuts from the threaded pin.
  3. Carefully pull out the Spring Cover (#46B, Fig. 22, B) slightly, and keep a firm grasp on it - DO NOT LET THE COVER SPIN as it keeps the spring from unwinding. Also, DO NOT let the spring end (C) disengage from its notch in the spring cover!
  4. Pull out the cover just enough so that the notch in the cover clears the nub on the head casting (D).

C D B A

FIG. 22

  1. Rotate the cover to another notch as needed - CLOCKWISE to decrease the spring tension, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase spring tension.
  2. With the cover set in the new position, push it back in place and tighten the spring cover nuts back against the cover to complete the adjustment.

CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE

The 30-217 VS Drill Press is equipped with a dual voltage 115/230V motor. To change from the factory preset 115V operating mode to a 230V circuit, consult the wiring diagram on page 18. NOTE: Changing of the motor wiring or power supply cable should only be done by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: DO NOT run the drill press to open or close the chuck when installing or removing a drill bit.

WARNING: Make sure that the drill bit is secure in the chuck, and the chuck key has been removed from the chuck before starting the drill press.

DRILLING SPEEDS

This Drill Press has two variable speed ranges from 200 to 700 and 600 to 2,200 RPM. The correct drilling speed for your work depends on a variety of factors:

a) the workpiece material & hardness
- wood, composites, plastics or metal
b) the size of hole diameter
c) the depth of the hole
d) the type of drill bit or other cutter needed to make the desired hole diameter and depth
e) the quality of the bore

We recommend consulting various books, magazine articles, drill bit and material manufacturers' information for information on the proper operating speeds and types of drills for the material or hole desired.

- A general rule: The larger the hole and the harder the material = the slower the RPM speed.

NOTE: See page 6 for important safety information on drilling set-ups and procedures.

WORKPIECE POSITIONING

WARNING: Always use clamps or hold-downs to secure the material onto the drill press table during drilling. This will prevent the work from being torn from the operator's hand should the drill bit gets caught in the material. Clamping the work to the table is particularly necessary if the table is tilted on an angle.

Place a scrap board or piece of plywood under your work to protect the metal table, drill bit, and to provide a solid base for a clean hole if the drill bit exits the work.

To prevent work from spinning, if possible, position the work to rest against the left side of the column. For shorter pieces, use a clamp or drill press vise secured to the table.

Feed bits into the material at a constant rate to allow the bit to work. Too slowly may cause the wood to burn and ruin the bit. Too fast may put excessive stress on the motor and cause the bit to break.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn the power switch "OFF" and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance.

  1. Before each use:

  2. Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.

  3. Check for any loose screws, hardware or parts.
  4. Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the machine.

  5. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of the machine using a soft cloth, brush or compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure the machine is in ready condition for its next use.

WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.

  1. Keep the machined surfaces of the drill press table and base free of resin and rust. Clean them regularly with a non-flammable solvent, then coat with a light film of dry lubricant spray or wax.
  2. Lubricate the table bracket and locking lever bolts to keep them operating smoothly.

  3. Clean the column on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of dust, drilling residue and rust. Treat the posts with a dry lubricant spray or a light coating of wax. Do not use ordinary oil which will collect dust and hamper the movement of parts along the column.

  4. Periodically, lower the quill assembly and apply a light coating of machine oil to the quill and spindle surfaces. Raise and lower the quill a few times to distribute the oil on all of the internal surfaces.
  5. Apply #2 tube grease to the worm gears in the table elevation mechanism and rack to keep them operating smoothly.
  6. The ball bearings in the spindle and pulley assemblies are lifetime lubricated, sealed, and do not need any further care.
  7. Keep the drive belt and pulley surfaces free of oil and grease. Periodically, check the drive belt for wear and replace if necessary.

CHANGING THE DRIVE BELT

  1. Turn on the drill press and adjust the spindle speed to the highest speed setting, in either the low range 700 RPM or the high range 2,200 RPM. This sets the gear plates high up on their spindles. See page 14 for Adjusting Drill Speeds.
  2. Turn the machine OFF and disconnect it from the power source.
  3. Open the top lid to access the drive belts. Remove the large, front V-Belt (#12C, Fig. 24, A). This is done by first removing the top, Fixed Motor Pulley (#30B) from the center Pulley Shaft (#23B, B). Take off the Circlip Ring (#29B), loosen the two Hex Set Screws (#32B), and lift the pulley off of the shaft.
  4. Work the front, large drive belt (A) up and off of the center shaft and lay in aside to re-install later.
