Assembly
Tools required for assembly and operating (not included): Phillips screwdriver & Spanner
Note: This product will have traces of oil and grease on its component parts to protect against
corrosion. Clean off such residue before assembly especially the chuck mounting and the internal
fitting of the Chuck (7).
1. Secure the Column (1) to the Base (14) using the supplied bolts (x 3), spring washers (x 3) and
washers (x 3) included. The spring washers fit between the bolt head and the washer (Fig. I)
2. Slide the Table (13) on to the Column and tighten the Table Locking Handle (12) when
approximately 150mm from the Base (Fig. II)
3. Place the drill press head assembly on to the Column and lower it as far as it will go
Note: Seek assistance when handling the drill press head assembly as it is heavy.
4. When the head is aligned to the base, tighten the 2 hex grub screws which hold the drill press
head assembly in place with the supplied hex key (Fig. III). These hex grub screws are directly
below the Drive Belt Tension Adjuster (10) on the same side
5. Screw the three Plunge Handles (11) into the Plunge Handles mounting (Fig. IV)
6. The Chuck fits using a simple Morse taper connection and relies on the friction of the surfaces to
hold the chuck in position. Fit the Chuck to the chuck mounting by placing a small piece of wood
below the Chuck and operate the Plunge Handles to lower the chuck mounting to fit the Chuck
(Fig. V). You can alternatively fit the Chuck before mounting the drill press head assembly on the
Column. If necessary use a soft mallet to help secure the Chuck but only use light force
Note: It is essential both surfaces are free of oil and grease for the Chuck to be secure.
Note: Make sure the chuck jaws are recessed before striking the Chuck with a mallet.
7. Angle the Chuck Guard(6) so you can remove the screws (x 3), washers (x 3) and nuts (x 3) that
are pre-fitted to the chuck guard that will secure the chuck guard visor. Fit the visor (Fig. VI) and
then loosely re-assemble the screws, washers and nuts in each hole. Ensure the visor position is
correct then tighten the fittings.
8. It is important to secure the drill press to a work surface to prevent the tool tipping over. Fit bolts
and nuts (not provided) through the Base Holes (15) and matching holes through a work surface
to secure the drill press
Note: Use nylon insert lock nuts or spring washers in the fixings to prevent vibration from
loosening the fixings.
Note: If you don't secure the drill permanently it is recommended to use clamps to secure the tool
to a work surface or work only with material too small to cause the drill to tip over.
Adjusting speed
IMPORTANT: The drill may need adjustment of the Drive Belt Tension Adjuster (10) before use
even if you use the gear already set.
• The drill has 5 speeds which are manually set. See chart below showing belt positions for each
speed plus an approximate speed guide for type and size of drill bit.

1. Disconnect the drill press from its power supply before changing the speed
2. Remove the single Phillips screw that secures Pulley Cover (4). It is above the Drive Belt Tension
Adjuster (10) and open the Pulley Cover (4)
3. The speed is adjusted by the belt that connects the Spindle Pulley (8) and the Motor Pulley (9)
4. To move the belt, loosen the Drive Belt Tension Adjuster (10) and pull the Motor (2) towards the
front of the drill
5. Position the belt onto the desired step on the pulleys according to the table above or the
provided table inside the lid of the pulley cover
IMPORTANT: Only operate the drill with the belt level. Operating the drill press with the belt
angled will result in serious damage to the tool and will invalidate the guarantee.
