the workpiece and the point of the drill. You can
also swivel the bench sideways, if you wish to
clamp a workpiece directly onto the footplate.

For slanted drilling and with a slanted supporting
surface of the workpiece the bench can be
swivelled. For this purpose loosen the hexagonal
screw (20) on the hinge point (21) of the bench
and remove the centring. Swivel the bench (19) to
the desired position. Then screw down the
hexagonal screw (20) properly using a wrench.
Number of revolutions, speed of rotation, supply
The supply - the feed motion of the drill - takes
place by hand on the 3-armed drill lever. The
speed of rotation is determined by the number of
revolutions of the drill spindle and by the diameter
of the drill. The correct choice of supply and the
number of revolutions of the drill spindle are the
deciding factors for the lifespan of the drill. The
following applies as a basic rule: with a larger
diameter of the drill the number of revolutions
must be adjusted lower; the greater the firmness
of the workpiece, the greater the cutting pressure
must also be.
In order not to overheat the drill in this case, the
supply and speed of rotation must be lowered at
the same time. In addition, the drill must be cooled
with drill oil. For thin plates, quite large drillings
must be carried out carefully with little supply and
little cutting pressure, so as to get a precise result
and so that the drilling remains the correct size.
For deep drilling (larger than 2 x the diameter of
the drill) the discharge of chips is more difficult and
the temperature of the drill is higher. Therefore
lower the supply and the number of revolutions
and ensure a better discharge of chips by regularly
pulling back the drill. For drilling with a greater
diameter than 8 mm, pre-drilling must take place,
so that early wear of the drill - main cutting edge
can be avoided and so that the drilling point is not
too heavily loaded.
5. Maintenance
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
This machine has been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper machine care and regular
8
cleaning.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly clean
the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably
after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from
dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a
soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use
solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water,
etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Please clean the tool immediately after use.
Lubrication
Every bearing in the drill press has been pre-
lubricated in the factory. Further lubrication is
unnecessary. From time to time, you should
grease the racks and pinions, the table lifting
mechanism, the spindle and the splines of the
hollow shaft. Open the drive belt guard and squirt
a little oil onto the spindle shaft. Do not allow any
oil to touch the drive belt!
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part,
please contact the service address on the
warranty card. In the back of this manual you find
an exploded view showing the parts that can be
ordered.
Environment
To prevent damage during transport, the appliance
is delivered in a solid packaging which consists
largely of reusable material. Therefore please
make use of options for recycling the packaging.
Damaged and/or disposed of electrical or
electronic devices must be dropped off at
recycling stations intended for that
purpose.
Warranty
Read the warranty conditions on the separately
supplied warranty card.
The product and the user manual are subject to
