DO NOT FORCE TOOL. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
USE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR YOUR APPLICATION. Do not force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face mask or dusk mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected sit-
uations.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

This drill press is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong plug.
If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be used as
long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. See Figure 1 and the
steps below to use an AC grounding adapter:
1. Remove the cover plate mounting screw.
2. Insert the AC grounding adapter into the bottom receptacle so the green
grounding lug fits over the screw hole.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure switch is in the
“OFF” position before plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owners manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause cause risk of
injury.
3. Install the mounting screw back into the cover plate securely affixing the
adapter to the receptacle.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other con-
ditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
Never modify the electrical adapter by cutting off the
grounding prong so it will fit into unapproved, un-grounded electrical recep-
tacles. Failure to follow this procedure could result in burns, severe electri-
cal shock, or even death.
If you have questions about connecting the drill press, contact a certified electrician
to install the proper circuitry needed for this and other power tools you use.
Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IMMEDIATELY.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Only feed work into a blade or cutter against the direc-
tion of rotation of the blade or cutter.

MOUNTING SCREW
NEVER use appliances or equipment that have motors
with automatic reset overload protective devices. These protective devices
can cause unexpected startups that can cause property damage, severe per-
sonal injury, or death.
The electrical power source for this drill press MUST be grounded in order to prevent
possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break down.
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reducing the
risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A service.
Multiple power tools should never be used on the same circuit at the same time.

Failure to properly ground this drill press could result in
burns, severe electrical shock, and even death. This is especially true if used in
damp or wet locations or near metallic plumbing. The reaction from electrical
shock could possibly cause your hands to make contact with the cutting tools.
EXTENSION CORD USAGE
Extension cords are not recommended for use with this drill press. Extension cords, if
used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole receptacle on
the other. DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord. Extension cords
must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 A.W.G. wiring. Extension cords should never
exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too long, cause a voltage drop over the
extra distance causing the grinder motor to run slower with the possibility of causing
damage to the motor. Using extension cords with smaller than the recommended wire
gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension
Cord Specifications”, on page 25-26.
Not all outlets are properly grounded, regardless of the
type of receptacle they have. If you are not sure if the receptacle is properly
grounded or not, consult a certified electrician. The AC receptacle must be
protected by a dual element time delay or a circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR DRILL PRESSES
USE ONLY DRILL BITS, SANDING DRUMS, AND OTHER ACCESSORIES that
are designed for the various speeds of this drill press. The drill bits, sanding
drums and other accessories should have a shank size 1/2" OR SMALLER.
Unsuitable drill bits can break without warning throwing fragments outward at
high speeds possibly causing severe injuries. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized drill bit specifications.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. If there are instructions in this
manual that are not completely understood, seek the advice of a trained profes-
sional or contact Alltrade Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 before attempt-
ing to perform the procedures. Failure to follow all instructions listed in this
manual may result in property damage, damage to the tool, or serious person-
al injury or even death.
USE RECOMMENDED SPEED for drill accessory and workpiece material.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS DRILL PRESS until it is completely assembled accord-
ing to the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these instructions
could result in serious and/or permanent injury to the operator.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. The drill press will do a better job and be safer if
drilling operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this
manual.
FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES. Use only properly grounded three-hole ground-
ed receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When using an
extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG
wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet. See ELECTRICAL SAFETY section in
this manual.
USE ONLY THE CHUCK KEY THAT IS PROVIDED with the drill press or a
duplicate of it to reliably secure the drill bit inside the chuck.
REMOVE CHUCK KEYS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENT TOOLS from the areas
around the drill press before turning the power switch to the “ON” position.
MAKE SURE APPROVED EYE PROTECTION IS BEING WORN and properly
adjusted and secured at all times the drill press is in use. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact resistant lenses and ARE NOT safety glasses. Safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Approved safety glasses and
goggles will have Z87 printed or stamped on them.
DO NOT USE A DRILL BIT THAT WOBBLES OR VIBRATES. Visually inspect the
drill bits before they contact the work piece ensuring there are no side-to-side
movements. Should the drill bit wobble from side-to-side or if the tip appears
broken, replace them immediately. If the vibration still exists, check the bear-
ings and the motor shaft and repair or replace them as soon as possible.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage to both the work piece and
the drill press.
KEEP BYSTANDERS, CHILDREN, AND VISITORS at a safe distance from the
drill press while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse
resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.
ADJUST THE TOOL TABLE BEFORE EACH USE. The tool table should be tight-
ened and placed at the proper angle for the drilling job before the drill press is
put into use. If not properly adjusted, the work piece can unexpectedly move
causing the drill bit to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe injury
to the operator.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other apparel that could possibly become caught in the moving
parts of the drill press. When working in a shop environment around power
tools, wear nonslip footwear. Use protective hair covering to contain long hair.
DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRILL PRESS when it is first
turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN AT ALL TIMES. Cluttered areas around the drill
press can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the
moving parts of the drill press.
PROPERLY SUPPORT EXTRA LONG OR EXTRA WIDE WORK PIECES. Work
pieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the drill bit to seize
resulting in a sudden whipping motion resulting in damage to the work piece
and drill press as well as possible severe injury to the operator.
MAINTAIN A PROPER WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the drill press in
damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical
components to malfunction resulting in damage to the drill press and/or
serious injury or death to the operator.
NEVER START THE DRILL PRESS WITH THE WORK PIECE IN CONTACT WITH
THE DRILL BIT. The sudden start-up of the drill bit could cause it to seize result-
ing in a sudden, rapid spinning motion that could damage the work piece, the
drill press, and/or serious injury to the operator.
ALWAYS USE APPROVED TABLE CLAMPS AND VICES to clamp work pieces to
the drill press table to prevent breakage, damage to the drill press, the work
piece, and possible severe injury to the operator. Contact Alltrade Customer
Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) for authorized accessories.

DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS POWER CORD FROM THE AC OUTLET before
making adjustments to the worktable, clamps, vises, work pieces, changing drill
bits, or changing the speed of the drill motor preventing the tool from acciden-
tally turning on. Failure to adhere to this step could result in
damage to both the work piece and the drill press as well as possible severe
injury to the operator.
SECURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD when the drill press is not in use to
prevent unauthorized use of the tool and/or to prevent children from acciden-
tally turning it on.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION about the proper use of bench-mounted drill
presses is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue,
available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL
60143-3201. Additionally, you can refer to the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the
U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE DRILL PRESS before changing types of work
pieces. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or fire. CON-
SULT EXPERT advice before drilling in work pieces made of magnesium. The
friction generated by the drill bit could the magnesium to ignite resulting in a
very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or
seriously damage the drill press.
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING THIS DRILL PRESS OR OTHER
POWER TOOLS. Never try to perform drilling operations on work pieces that are
too large to be clamped to the worktable or vises. Keep this manual and refer to it
often to ensure proper operation and prevent unnecessary accidents or injuries.

OPERATING THE DRILL PRESS
Ensure that the switch toggle, when removed, is kept in
a secure place. Once removed, the drill press will not start without it.
The drill press is designed to use drill bits with a shank of 1/2" or less. The follow-
ing will give the inexperienced operator practice with common drilling operations.
Always use scrap material and do test procedures before working on the actual
workpiece. These test runs will decrease as experience and confidence with the drill
press increase.
ADJUSTING THE WORK TABLE
1. The worktable (1) can be raised or low-
ered on the drill press column (2) by
loosening the table clamp (3). See
Figure 12.
When the workpiece is long enough, place it on the
worktable so that one end rests against the drill press column. This is
usually the left side as you look to the rear of the drill press. In case the drill
bit seizes in the workpiece, the drill press support will prevent the workpiece
from spinning out of control. FAILURE to adhere to this step could result in
possible severe injury to the operator.
2. After the table is positioned at the
desire height, LOCK the table in place
by tightening the table clamp (3). NOTE:

3. The worktable (1) can be rotated 360
degrees around the column (2) by loos-
ening the table clamp (3). Rotate the
table to the desired position and LOCK
the table in place by tightening the table
clamp (3). See Figure 12.
Ensure the “ON/OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging the power cord into the AC power source. Ensure there are
no tools or work pieces in contact with the drill bits, cutting tools, or sand-
ing drum when the drill press is turned “ON.” Failure to observe these pro-
cedures could result in damage to the drill press, tools, work pieces, and/or
serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

CORRECT DRILLING SPEEDS
ADJUSTING THE SPINDLE RETURN SPRING
The correct drilling speed is determined by type of material being drilled, the size of
the hole, the type of the drill bit or cutter, and the desired quality of the hole.
Disconnect drill press from AC power source and ensure
the “ON/OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position. Failure to adhere to this warn-
ing could cause severe, permanent injury to the operator.
Always use the recommended speed for the drill bit and
for the type of materials the workpiece is made of. If you have any questions
as to the proper speeds or types of materials, contact Alltrade customer
service at 1-800-590-3723.
The spindle return spring (1) is automatically returned to its upper position when
the pinion shaft handles (2) are released. It is recommended that the pinion shaft
handles (B) be allowed to return to the upper position slowly. DO NOT LET GO OF
THE HANDLES after the hole has been drilled. This action will cause excessive wear
and tear on spindle return spring. To adjust the spindle return spring, See Figure 15
and follow the steps below:
WORKING WITH WOOD
Twist drills, although designed for drilling metal, can also be use for drilling wood.
However, it is recommended that machine spur bits or wood-boring bits be used for
wood projects. These bits cut a flat bottom hole and are designed to remove to eas-
ily remove wood chips. DO NOT USE hand bits designed for a hand-operated drill
brace. These bits have screw tips and at the speeds used by the drill press, they
would rapidly engage the workpiece and spin it around violently.
1. Loosen the two nuts (3 and 4). Ensure the housing stays engaged with the
head casting.
2. While firmly holding the spring housing (5), pull out the housing until the boss
is engaged with the next notch on the housing.
For through boring, line up the spot where the hole is to drilled with the hole in the
worktable. This permits the drill bit to pass cleanly through the workpiece without
damaging the worktable. Scribe a vertical line on the front of the column and match-
ing marks on the table bracket and the drill press head so that the table and drill
press can be clamped in the center position at any height.
To prevent splintering on the bottom of the workpiece, clamp a scrap piece of wood
beneath the workpiece and allow the drill bit to enter it resulting in a clean hole on
the workpiece. This also protects the point of the drill bit.
23
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
DRILLING METAL
If the drill press must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “W-A” or “W.”
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of electrical shock.
Always use clamps or a vise when drilling metal. The
workpiece should never be held in place by hand.
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see table below).
The drill bit could seize in the metal at any time, especially when breaking through
the backside of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to spin out of the
operator’s hand. The drill bit will be broken when the workpiece strikes the column.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the workpiece, the drill
press, and severe or permanent injury to the operator.

CONSULT EXPERT ADVICE BEFORE DRILLING IN WORK PIECES MADE OF MAG-
NESIUM. The friction generated by the drill bit could cause the magnesium to ignite
resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe burns to the operator and/or
seriously damage the drill press.

The workpiece must be clamped firmly while drilling. Tilting, twisting, or shifting not
only results in a rough-drilled hole, but increases the risk of breaking the drill bit.

For flat work, place the workpiece on a piece of scrap wood and clamp tightly to the
worktable to prevent it from turning. If the shape of the workpiece is irregular and
cannot be placed flat on the table, it should be securely blocked and clamped before
attempting to use the drill press.
