9.3 Switching on and off (Fig. 13)
▪ This machine is fitted with a “No Volts Switch”. In the event of a mains power failure or if
the mains plug is removed from the mains supply socket before the machine is switched
off. The machine will not restart without warning when the mains supply is restored or the
mains plug is reconnected to the mains supply, until the machine is switched ON at the
ON//OFF switch (11) fitted to the machine.
▪ To start the machine press the green ON button.
▪ To stop the machine, press the red OFF button (Fig. 13).
9.4 Using the laser
The laser beam is used to indicate the centre location of the drill hole in case you have to drill
several holes in workpieces of the same thickness.
▪ Place the table (8) in a horizontal position. Make sure that the drill and the opening in the
table are aligned.
▪ Place the workpiece on the table.
▪ Lower the drill bit until it touches the workpiece. Switch the laser on by operating the on/off
switch.
▪ Check that the laser cross hairs align with the centre of the drill hole as marked on the
workpiece. If necessary, adjust the laser by hand after loosening the screws with a
screwdriver. When aligned, perform a drill hole.
▪ After use, switch of the laser.
9.5 Feed depth adjustment (Fig. 14)
▪ This facility is useful if a number of uniform depth holes are required in a work piece.
▪ Set the work piece to be drilled in your machine vice.
▪ Insert the drill required into the chuck (9). Bring the drill bit into contact with the work
surface.
▪ Using the depth stop nuts and the depth scale, set the depth of hole required, secure the
depth stop nuts. The drill will stop at the required depth every time (Fig. 14).
▪ NOTE: always stop feeding while the depth stop nuts stops, otherwise the red plastic
collar might be damaged.
9.6 Changing the spindle speed (Fig. 15)
▪ Warning: always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power
supply before making any adjustments or changing a drill bit.
▪ Unscrew the cross head screw (13) securing the pulley guard (1) and lift open the pulley
guard (1) to expose the pulley system.
▪ Determine the spindle speed required.
▪ Identify the pulley arrangement that gives the nearest spindle speed to that required by
referring to the drill speed chart (Fig. 15).
