1Should they need adjustment, loosen screws on Cover Mount (REF 75) and turn motor assembly until pulleys align,

2 Tighten screws and adjust V-belt tension if needed

Correct Drilling Speeds

See "Changing Speeds" section under "Controls and Adjustments" and Speed Chart inside Pulley Cover for cor- rect drilling speeds Always disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments Care must be taken when setting speed for any cutting tool or accessory not list- ed on chart Read and follow any speed instructions supplied with cutting tool or accessory Rules for judging drilling speed for materials not listed in chart are:

1A small size drill requires faster cutting speeds than a larger size

2.Soft material requires faster speeds than hard material

See "Accessories" section for a listing of items authorized for use with this tool.

Drilling Wood

Many types of drill bits designed for drilling or boring wood can be used with this machine_ Standard high speed twist drills intended primarily for metal drilling work very well on wood_ Spur bits, sometimes referred to as forstner bits, are best for woodworking because they cut a clean-sided, flat

bottomed hole Be careful NOT to use any SCREW TIP hand drill bit At even the slowest drill press speeds, this style will lift the workpiece from the table and could easily cause

injury.

Feed bit slowly through wood As bit is about to cut through bottom surface, slow feed even more to prevent splintering or a burr to bottom face of workpiece Always use a piece of scrap wood under workpiece to reduce splintering and to pro- tect drill bit and work table

Use of clamps or a work vise is recommended for most drilling operations If a method of clamping is not used, brace back-up material against left side of column to prevent work- piece from spinning

Drilling Metal

Although primarily a woodworking tool, this Radial Drill Press can be used to drill metal. Always firmly clamp or use a drill press vise bolted to work table when drilling metal.

POWER AND DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE

WARNING: FOR YOU OWN SAFETY_ TURN OFF

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Periodically clean dust accumulation from machine Apply a light coat of paste wax to table, base work surfaces, and ver- tical and horizontal columns. This will help to keep them clean and working smoothly=

All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory and require no further lubrication The Quill and Spindle Rack

should be lubricated periodically with a light machine or pen- etrating oil Open Pulley Cover and spray a light coat of oil on Spindle Shaft splines (REF 42) as you move spindle up and down Avoid getting any oil on the drive belt Also, with spindle in fully down position, spray a light coat of oil on Quill (REF 40). A small amount of grease on Table Lift Gear (REF 7) and Horizontal Feed Gear (REF 90) will keep these two mechanisms moving freely Wipe excess grease from racks to prevent dust buildup in teeth

Mortising Kit

Although not designed specifically for mortising, the variety of possible drill angles and feed lengths with the Radial Drill Press make possible some formerly impossible operations Use Sears Model 9 BT 25255 Mortising Chisel Housing and Model 9 BT 29506 Drill Press Mortising Kit with the accompa-

nying made-to-fit bits available through Sears Catalog and Retail Stores

Vises and Clamps

A large variety of sizes and types of drill press vises and clamps are available through Sears Catalog and Retail Stores The work table has slots that will align with most vises
