CONTENTS

PACKAGE CONTENTS Unpack the parts listed below and check to ensure they are in good condition. Any queries must be reported to your stockist immediately.

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Figures are illustrative and may differ in detail from your drill.
ASSEMBLY 

1. Place the column assembly on the base, align holes, and secure with the bolts and washers provided.
2. Install table bracket onto column together with rack (fig.1), engaging gear in the bracket with rack.
   
3. Install the rack collar and tighten firmly (fig.2).
4. Install table adjusting handle (fig.2.A) and pivoted clamp bolt (the longer of the two – fig.2.B).
5. Tighten the handle set screw (with the hex. key provided) and the bracket clamp bolt.
6. Install the table and table clamp bolt (fig.3).
7. Carefully place the head assembly over the column and slide it into position. Align head with base.
8. Fit the two set screws in the side of the head and tighten with hex. key (fig.4) to lock the head in position.
9. Fit the feed handle to the hub of the pinion shaft (align pin with slot) and retain with a central screw.
10. To install chuck: open the chuck jaws completely by turning the chuck key anticlockwise. Place a piece of wood on the drill table (to prevent the chuck from getting damaged).
11. Insert arbor (fig.5.B) into drill spindle (reduced diameter end first), fit chuck to protruding end of the arbor, and hold in place.
12. Turn feed handle to bring the nose of chuck down onto wood (fig.5). Firmly pull on feed handle to seat arbor tapers in spindle and chuck.
13. Loosen clamp screw-on safety guard mounting collar, pass guard up over chuck and fit collar round flange of quill shaft. Ensure the guard pivot is central and tightens the clamp screw.

DRILL MOUNTING

1. For stability and safety, it is important that the drill base is securely bolted in place.
2. Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the drill together with the weight of the heaviest likely workpiece.

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure the drill is unplugged from the mains power supply before commencing.
INSTALL DRILL BIT

1. Insert the drill bit into chuck jaws to 1” (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and a center  bit in chuck before tightening.

ADJUSTING THE TABLE

1. To adjust the table up or down, loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B) then turn the bracket handle (fig.2.A).
2. To adjust the table tilt, loosen the work table bolt (fig.2.C), remove the locking pin (below bolt), and adjust to the desired angle using the angle scale, then retighten. When returning the table to horizontal replace the locking pin.
3. To turn the table around the column, loosen the rack collar slightly, then loosen the clamp bolt (fig.2.B).
4. Turn the table to the desired position then secure the bolt and the rack collar.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED
NOTE: the belt cover is fitted with a micro-switch to prevent drill operation with the cover open.

1. Open the pulley case and loosen the belt tension lock screws (fig.6.A) – one on either side of the head.
2. Choose the speed for drilling operation (see drill speed chart – Section 7) and move the belts to the correct position for that speed, as shown on the chart inside the pulley cover.

BELT TENSION

1. With the belt tension lock screws (fig.6.A) loose and using hand pressure on the adjusting handle (fig.5.C), set tension so that belt deflection is no more than 1/2” (13mm). Tighten lock screws.

POSITIONING THE WORKPIECE

1. Use a piece of wood to rest the workpiece on. The drill bit may break through the workpiece and damage the table otherwise.
   The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column, to prevent it from spinning when the drill bit breaks through the workpiece.
2. For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to the table.

SETTING THE DRILL DEPTH

1. Use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle.
2. Loosen the locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth desired. Tighten locking screw.
3. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill will stop at the set depth.

DRILL SPEEDS

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect drill from mains power before changing accessories, servicing, or performing any maintenance.

1. Clean the tool after each use. A coat of maintenance spray applied to the table and column will help to keep the surfaces clean.
2. Blow out any dust that may have accumulated in the motor.
3. Periodically lubricate table elevation rack/gear/worm mechanism and the spindle sleeve exterior.

BELT CHANGING – Instructional video available on Sealey’s YouTube channel.

1. Isolate the drill from the power supply.
2. Remove the belt tension as in section 6.4.
3. Remove the belt(s) and replace it with another of the same specification.
