4.3 Drilling Procedure

1. Secure Workpiece: Place the workpiece on the work table and clamp it firmly to prevent rotation during drilling.
2. Adjust Table Height: Adjust the work table height so the drill bit can pass through the workpiece without hitting the table.
3. Set Depth Stop: Adjust the depth stop to the desired drilling depth.
4. Start Motor: Turn on the drill press using the power switch.
5. Begin Drilling: Slowly lower the drill bit into the workpiece using the feed handles. Apply steady, even pressure.
6. Clear Chips: Periodically raise the drill bit to clear chips, especially when drilling deep holes.
7. Finish Drilling: Once the desired depth is reached, raise the drill bit completely and turn off the motor.

5. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the drill press to remove dust, chips, and debris. Use a brush or vacuum; never use compressed air directly on moving parts.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply light machine oil to moving parts such as the column, spindle, and quill.
• Belt Tension: Check the drive belt tension regularly. Adjust if too loose or too tight according to the manufacturer's guidelines (usually found under the top cover).
• Chuck Maintenance: Keep the chuck jaws clean and free of debris to ensure proper grip on drill bits.
• Power Cord: Inspect the power cord for any damage or fraying. Replace immediately if damaged.
