Recommended speeds for a 10mm HSS drill bit:
Soft Wood:
Hard Wood:
Plastic:
Aluminium:
Brass:
Cast iron:
Mild steel:
High carbon steel:
Stainless steel:
Generally speaking, the smaller in relation the drill bit, the
greater the RPM required.
Wood requires higher speeds than metal.
Metal is usually drilled at slower speeds; cutting oil is applied
if necessary.
Use the speed chart (Fig 17) provided inside the pulley cover
as a general guideline.
ATTENTION:
Always keep your hands well clear of the rotating bit.
Do not remove chips and workpiece parts until the machine is
at a standstill.
Do not remove chips or debris with your hands-use a brush or
chip hook.
Close the chuck guard and pulley cover before you start the
machine.
When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the table.
Never do any works "freehand" (hand-holding the work piece
rather than supporting it on the table).
Support long workpieces with helping roller stands.
Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle
cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
Never cut magnesium-
high danger of fire!
Do not stare into beam of cross laser.
Do not view directly with optical instruments
Do not point the laser beam at people or animals.
Do not use the laser beam on highly reflective materials.
Reflected laser light is dangerous.

7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only be carried out after
the machine is protected against accidental starting by
pulling the mains plug, push the E-stop button.
7.1 Removing the Chuck and Arbor
Push the E-stop button.
Lower the quill using the down feed handle.
Lock it in the lowered position (see chapter 7.3)
Rotate the spindle to align the key in the spindle with the key
hole in the quill.
Protect the table surface.
Insert the drift key (HP1, Fig 18) into the aligned slots and tap
lightly. Catch the chuck and arbor assembly as it falls away
from the spindle.
7.2 Adjusting the Depth Stop
To drill multiple holes at the same pre-set depth, use the
depth stop:
Method 1:
Loosen the lock handle (G, Fig 20).
With the drill bit in the chuck, rotate the down feed handle (D)
to advance the drill bit until it just contacts the top surface of
workpiece. Fig 19
