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.
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.
V-BELT TENSION
Fig.D
If you have shifted the V-belt, you must tighten it again by
means of the engine plate (17) with the fastening button
(18). The tension is correct when the V-belt can be pres-
sed in by approximately 1 cm.
The engine pulley must be aligned horizontally, so that
early wear and loosening of the V-belt can be prevented.
For this purpose the engine pulley on the engine can be
slid along the engine axle, after loosening the socket head
screw.

The number of revolutions of the drill spindle of the V-
belt combinations can be read from the illustration and
the table.
DRILL SPINDLE AND DRILL HEAD PIN
All the blank parts of the machine are provided with a
protective lacquer layer, which prevents rust formation.
This protective lacquer layer is easy to remove by means
of environmentally friendly solvents. Test the V-belt ten-
sion before you connect the machine to the electricity
mains.
The inside of the drill spindle must be degreased comple-
tely. For this purpose use environmentally friendly sol-
vents. Proceed in the same way with the drill head pin. A
correct transmission can only be achieved in this way.
