1. Insert a 3" (7.6 cm) drill bit (1) into the chuck (2) and tighten.
2. Raise and lock the table (3) about 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the drill bit.
3. Place a combination square (4) on the table as shown. The drill bit should be parallel to the straight edge of the square.
4. If an adjustment is needed, loosen the bevel lock (5) with a wrench.
5. Square the table to the bit by tilting the table.
6. Tighten the bevel lock bolt (5) when square.

FIG. 20

Drilling depth (Fig. 21)

1. To stop the drill at a specific depth for consistent and repetitive drilling, loosen the depth scale lock (1) located on the depth scale hub (2).
2. Turn the hub until the pointer (3) is aligned to the desired depth on the scale.
3. Tighten the depth scale lock (1). the chuck will stop after traveling downward to the distance selected.

Note: All the necessary adjustments for the working of your drill press have been done at the factory. Please do not modify them. However, because of normal wear and tear of your tool, some readjustments might be necessary.

FIG. 21

Spindle return spring (Fig. 22)

The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism. The main components are a spring and a notched housing. The spring was properly adjusted at the factory and should not be readjusted unless absolutely necessary. If it needs to be adjusted, proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the drill press.
2. Place a screwdriver into the loop (1) to hold the spring in place.
3. Loosen the two housing nuts (2) approximately 1/4" (6 mm). Do not remove the nuts from the threaded shaft.
4. While firmly holding the spring housing (3), carefully pull it out until it clears the raised notch (4). Turn it until the next notch (5) is engaged with the raised notch (to increase the tension, turn it counterclockwise; to decrease the tension, turn it clockwise). Tighten the two housing nuts.

IMPORTANT! Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the spindle and feed handles will be sluggish.

FIG. 22

Assembly and adjustments

Install drill bits (Fig. 23)

1. Place the chuck key (1) into the side keyhole of the chuck (2), meshing the gear teeth (3).
2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws (4).
3. Insert a drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.
4. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before final tightening of the chuck.
5. Use the chuck key for the final tightening to make sure the drill bit will not slip while drilling.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, only use the chuck key provided with this drill press or a duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-ejecting and will "pop" out of the chuck when you let go. This action is designed to help prevent throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when power is turned "ON". Do not use any other key as a substitute; order a new one if damaged or lost.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before starting any drilling operation.

WARNING

DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LASER BEAM! A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe all safety rules as follows:

• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the workpiece.
• Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.
  • Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece with out reflective surfaces as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes or the eyes of others.

Laser switch (Fig. 24)

The laser switch (1) is located on the left side of the drill press housing.

Adjust the laser line (Fig. 24 and 25)

1. Place a workpiece on the table.
2. Turn the laser switch (1) to the ON position.
3. Lower the drill bit to meet the workpiece (2). The two laser lines should cross where the drill meets the workpiece.
4. If the laser needs to be adjusted:
   a. Using a 3 mm hex wrench, turn the laser adjustment hex screws (3) counterclockwise.
   b. Move the laser light housing (4) until the two lines intersect where the drill meets the workpiece. DO NOT stare directly at the laser lines.
5. Re-tighten the adjustment hex screws (3).

Operation

Switches (Fig. 26)

1. To turn the drill press ON, insert the safety key (1) into the switch housing (2). As a safety feature, the switch cannot be turned ON without the key.
2. Flip the switch upward to the ON position.
3. To turn the drill press OFF, move the switch to the down position.
4. To lock the switch in the OFF position, remove the safety key from the switch. Store the key in a safe place.

Operation (continued)

Position the table and workpiece (Fig. 27)

Always place a piece of backup material (1) (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece (2). This will prevent splintering on the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the material from spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column as illustrated, or be clamped to the table.

Note: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (optional accessory, not included). The vise must be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury and the workpiece and the backup material from being torn from your hand while drilling, position them to the left side of the column. If the workpiece and the backup material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before starting any drilling operation.

Drilling a hole

Use a center punch or sharp nail to dent the workpiece where you want the hole. With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit down to the workpiece, lining it up with the hole location. Turn the switch ON and pull down on the feed handles with only enough effort to allow the drill to cut.

• Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to burn.
• Feeding to rapidly might stop the motor, causing the belt or drill to slip, tearing the workpiece loose, or breaking the drill bit.
• For deeper cuts, drill into the workpiece about 1/4" (6.4 mm) and raise the drill bit out of the workpiece. This will clear chips out of the hole. Drill again another 1/4" (6.4 mm) and raise the drill bit out of the hole to clear debris and chips. Repeat until finished drilling the hole.

Practice with scrap material to get the feel of the machine before attempting to do any regular drilling operation.

When drilling metal, it will be necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating the drill bit.

Drilling to a specific depth

Drilling a blind hole (not all the way through the workpiece) to a given depth can be done in two ways.

Workpiece method (Fig. 28)

1. Mark the desired depth of the hole on the side of the workpiece (1).
2. With the switch off, bring the drill bit (2) down until the tip is even with the mark.
3. Hold the feed handle at this position.
4. Lock the depth scale lock knob. The chuck and the drill bit will now be stopped at the distance selected on the depth scale.

Operation (continued)

Depth scale method (Fig. 29)

1. With the switch (1) OFF, turn the feed handle (2) until the drill bit tip (3) slightly touches the top of the workpiece (4).
2. Hold the feed handles in that position.
3. Loosen the depth lock knob (5).
4. Spin the depth scale hub (6) until the desired drilling depth is at the scale pointer.
5. Lock the depth lock knob. The chuck and drill bit will now drill into the workpiece only to the distance selected on the depth scale.

General Drilling Guidelines

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the chuck key is removed from

the chuck before starting any drilling operation.

Drilling speeds

Important factors when determining the best drilling speed:

• Type of material
• Size of the hole to be drilled
• Type of drill bit or cutter
  • Desired quality of the cut

Remember, smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than harder materials.

Drilling metal

• Use metal-piercing twist drill bits.
• It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating the drill bit.
• All metal workpieces should be clamped down securely. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting causes a rough drill hole, and increases the potential of drill bit breakage.
• Never hold a metal workpiece with your bare hands. The cutting edge of the drill bit may seize the

workpiece and throw it, causing serious injury. The drill bit will break if the metal piece suddenly hits the column.

- If the metal is flat, clamp a piece of wood under it to prevent turning. If it cannot be laid flat on the table, then it should be blocked and clamped.

Drilling wood

• Brad point bits are preferred. Metal piercing twist bits may be used on wood.
• Do not use auger bits. They turn so rapidly that they lift the workpiece off the table and whirl it around.
• Always protect the drill bit by positioning the table so the drill bit will enter the center hole when drilling through the workpiece.
• To prevent splintering, feed slowly when the bit is about to cut through to the backside of the workpiece.
• To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block under the workpiece.

Feeding the bit

• Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.
• Feeding too rapidly might stall the motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the drill bit.
• Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.

Maintaining Your Drill Press

Maintenance

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, turn power switch "OFF" and remove plug from the power source outlet before maintaining or lubri cating your drill press.

Frequently blow out or vacuum sawdust or metal chips that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.

A coat of furniture-type paste wax applied to the table, column, and machined parts of the base will help to keep these surfaces clean.

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.

CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these

are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of damage.

To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

WARNING All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted only by trained

repairmen. Contact the nearest Skil Factory Service Center, Authorized Skil Service Station or other competent repair service. Use only Skil replacement parts; any other may create a hazard.
