2. Safety Instructions

Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when operating this power tool. Read and understand all instructions before use.

General Safety

• Work Area Safety: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the specifications (400 V – 50 Hz). Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Personal Safety: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear. Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair that can get caught in moving parts.
• Tool Maintenance: Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the emergency stop button.

Pillar Drill Specific Safety

• Secure Workpiece: Always clamp the workpiece securely to the work table using appropriate clamps or a vice. Never hold the workpiece by hand.
• Correct Speed: Select the correct drilling speed for the material and drill bit size. Too high a speed can burn the material or dull the bit; too low a speed can cause tearing.
• Drill Bit Condition: Use sharp, undamaged drill bits. Dull or damaged bits can cause kickback or breakage.
• Depth Stop: Utilize the depth stop for consistent and controlled drilling depth.
• Clearance: Ensure adequate clearance for the drill bit and chuck above and below the workpiece.
• Coolant: For metal drilling, use appropriate cutting fluid to prolong drill bit life and improve cut quality.

3. Setup and Assembly

The GSB 20/812 R+L pillar drill requires assembly before first use. Follow these steps carefully.

Unpacking and Component Check

• Machine Head
• Column
• Base Plate
• Work Table
• Keyless Chuck (1-16 mm)
• Chuck Guard
• Morse Taper (B16)

Assembly Steps

1. Attach Column to Base Plate: Securely fasten the column to the base plate using the provided hardware. Ensure it is stable and upright.
2. Mount Work Table: Slide the work table onto the column. Adjust its height and secure it with the locking mechanism.
3. Install Drill Head: Carefully place the drill head assembly onto the top of the column. Secure it firmly according to the instructions.
4. Insert Morse Taper and Chuck: Clean the Morse taper (B16) and the spindle bore. Insert the taper into the spindle, then firmly attach the keyless chuck to the taper. A light tap with a rubber mallet may be needed to seat it properly.
5. Attach Chuck Guard: Install the chuck guard for safety. Ensure it can be easily adjusted or moved for workpiece access while providing protection during operation.
6. Electrical Connection: Connect the drill to a 400 V – 50 Hz power supply. Ensure proper grounding.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your GÜDE pillar drill.

Power On/Off

• To Start: Press the green 'ON' button.
• To Stop: Press the red 'OFF' button or the emergency stop button.

Speed Adjustment

The drill offers 12 speed settings, ranging from 210 to 2500 min-1. Speed is adjusted by changing the position of the drive belt on the pulleys located under the top cover. Always disconnect power before opening the belt cover and adjusting speeds.

1. Disconnect the drill from the power supply.
2. Open the belt cover.
3. Loosen the motor tensioning lever.
4. Refer to the speed chart inside the belt cover to select the desired speed by repositioning the belt.
5. Re-tension the motor and close the belt cover.
6. Reconnect power.

Depth Stop Adjustment

The depth stop allows for consistent drilling to a predetermined depth.

1. Lower the drill bit until it just touches the workpiece.
2. Lock the spindle in this position.
3. Adjust the depth stop collar to the desired depth and tighten its locking screw.
4. Release the spindle. The drill will now stop at the set depth.

Chuck and Drill Bit Installation

1. Ensure the drill is disconnected from power.
2. Open the keyless chuck jaws by rotating the chuck sleeve.
3. Insert the drill bit into the chuck, ensuring it is centered and seated firmly.
4. Tighten the chuck jaws securely by hand.

Forward and Reverse Rotation

This model supports both forward (R) and reverse (L) rotation, indicated by the 'R+L' symbol. The direction of rotation can be selected via a switch on the control panel. Reverse rotation is useful for tapping or backing out stuck drill bits.

Workpiece Clamping

Always clamp your workpiece securely to the work table using a drill press vice or appropriate clamps. This prevents the workpiece from spinning, which can cause injury or damage.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your pillar drill.

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the drill of dust, chips, and debris. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner. Never use compressed air directly on bearings.
• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts such as the column, rack, and pinion for table adjustment. Use light machine oil.
• Belt Tension: Check the drive belt tension regularly. A loose belt can slip, reducing power and causing wear. Adjust as per the speed adjustment instructions.
• Chuck Maintenance: Keep the chuck jaws clean and free of debris. If the chuck becomes stiff, clean and lightly lubricate the threads.
• Electrical Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for damage. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
• General Inspection: Check for any loose screws, nuts, or bolts. Tighten them as necessary. Inspect the chuck guard for damage.
