ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The machine is provided with an electrical installation,
which meets the standards. Repairs may only be carried
out by a recognised professional.
The machine is provided with a zero voltage switch.
After the tension drops the machine will not start to
run automatically for safety reasons. The machine must be
switched on again.
Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they
have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert
the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1.5 mm
2
. When using a cable reel always unwind
the reel completely.
ASSEMBLY
Fig.B
• Place the footplate (13) in the correct position.
• Fasten the column (11) with the bolts supplied (12) to
the footplate.
• Now slide the table holder (10) with the table over
the column (11). With the fastening handle (6) the
table is fastened into the desired position.
• Now you can assemble the machine casing (7) and
lock with the locking pins (8).
• Since the drill spindle is greased in the factory, it is
advisable to run in the machine for approximately 15
minutes at the lowest speed (Fig. B).
Before you push the chuck with pin into the drill
spindle, the inside of the chuck must be completely
grease-free!
SETTING UP THE BENCH DRILL
Before use the drill must be mounted on a fixed base. The
footplate (13) has therefore been provided with drilling
holes. By means of screws the footplate can be fixed to
the base in this place. If it is mounted on a wooden board,
sufficiently large washers must be used on the opposite
side, so that the bolts are not pushed into the wood and
the machine cannot become loose.
The fastening screws may be fastened so far that
the footplate is not under tension or deformed.
When the tension is too high there is a risk of breakage.
ADJUSTING THE NUMBER OF REVOLU-
TIONS OF THE DRILL SPINDLE
Fig.C
The different revolutions of the drill spindle can be adjus-
ted by shifting the V-belt into the belt drive. The machine
is protected by a safety switch so that the machine is
automaticly switched off when opening the casing
The V-belt is shifted as follows:
• Open the V-belt cover (14) by loosen the screw on
the right side of the cover.
• Loosen the fastening button (18) and slide the engine
in the direction of the machine head, upon which the
V-belt is released.
• Shift the V-belt according to the table on the inside of
the V-belt cover.
• Tension the V-belt again by pushing the engine plate
(17) to the back. Then the tensioning device is faste-
ned with the fastening button (18).
•Close the V-belt cover and the machine is ready again
for use.
Keep the V-belt cover closed during use.
