4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Power Connection
Connect the machine to a 400V power supply. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting. The machine features a powerful 1100W (S1) / 1500W (S6) motor.
4.2 Speed Selection
The ZS 40HS features an oil bath gearbox with ground and hardened gears for speed selection. Refer to the speed chart on the machine for appropriate RPM settings (95-1600 rpm) based on material and drill bit size. Change speeds only when the machine is stopped.
4.3 Workpiece Clamping
Always secure the workpiece firmly to the work table using clamps or a vise. The T-slot guides (14 mm) on the drill table are designed for this purpose. Never hold the workpiece by hand during operation.
4.4 Drilling Operation
- Select the appropriate drill bit and secure it in the chuck.
- Adjust the work table and drill head to the desired position.
- Set the spindle speed according to the material.
- Lower the spindle using the three-arm lever or the precision handwheel for fine adjustment. The depth scale assists in precise depth control.
- Engage the motor by pressing the 'ON' button.
- Carefully feed the drill bit into the workpiece. Do not apply excessive force.
- Once drilling is complete, retract the spindle and switch off the motor.
4.5 Tapping Function

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Holzmann ZS 40HS drill press. Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
5.1 Cleaning
After each use, clean the machine thoroughly. Remove chips and debris from the work table, column, and drill head. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner; never use compressed air as it can embed chips into moving parts.
5.2 Lubrication
The gearbox operates in an oil bath. Regularly check the oil level and replenish or replace as needed, following the manufacturer's recommendations for oil type and frequency. Lubricate all moving parts, such as the column and spindle, with appropriate machine oil.
5.3 Chuck Care
Keep the drill chuck clean and free of rust. Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the jaws to ensure smooth operation. Inspect the chuck for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
