Band Tension and
Securing Knobs:
• Check the tension
adjustment in the
securing knobs in both
sides of the drill head
(model TAPI-8 only has
one knob in the
right-hand side of the
drill head).
Monthly
Column and Rack:

using commercial oil.
• Grease the rack with
commercial grease
(For bearing lubrication).
Each six month
Electric system:
• Have a
Authorized Service Center check the drill electric system.
When Needed
Cleansing:
• Frequently shake de dust out inside the drill motor. Apply cleaning wax to the drill work bench and column to keep them
always clean. Do not remove shavings with your hands. Use a brush.
Adjust tension in the star control:
• Hold the spindle spring cap with one hand. Loosen with your
other hand the nuts found in the spring cap. Do not remove the
nuts completely out of the screw.
• Pull out the cap while holding it firmly. Turn it around its axis until
it matches the drill head stop with the next notch of the spring cap.
• Turn the cap clockwise to loosen tension and counterclockwise to
increase tension.
• Verify the notch in the spring cap is in place and then adjust the
nuts. The second nut makes friction with the first one (blind nut). These, shall not touch the spring cap when adjusted.
WARNING Too much tension in the star control makes it turn back with force to its original position, which could hit
the operator if not cautious enough.
