Instrucciones de funcionamiento
1. Conexión de alimentación
Connect the drill press to a standard 240V electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in.
2. Ajuste de velocidad
The DP16SL offers 5 variable speeds (510-2430 min-1) via a belt drive system. To change speeds, open the belt cover and adjust the belt position on the pulleys according to the speed chart located inside the cover. Always disconnect power before adjusting belt speeds.
3. Instalación de brocas
Open the chuck jaws using the chuck key. Insert the drill bit fully into the chuck, ensuring it is centered. Tighten the chuck securely with the key. Remove the chuck key before starting the drill.
4. Workpiece Setup
Place the workpiece on the work table. Use the included vise or other clamps to firmly secure the workpiece to prevent rotation during drilling. Adjust the table height and angle as needed.
