Using Your Drill Press - Scheppach DP16SL Originalbetriebsanleitung

The angular play of the spindle (Fig. 19)
With the spindle in a low position, take it in your hand
and try to make it revolving about its axis. If there is
too much play, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen lock nut (23).
2. Turn the screw (24) clockwise to eliminate the play
but without obstructing the upward and downward
motion of the spindle (a little bit of play is normal).
3. Tighten the lock nut (23).

10. Using your drill press

WARNING:
If you are not familiar with this kind of machine, take
advice from an experimented person. In any case you
should have read and understood the safety and op-
erational instruction before attempting to operate this
product.
Pivoting the table (Fig.20+21)
Tip: The inclination display (25) only serves as orien-
tation for a rough angular adjustment. For precision
work suitable goniometers must be used.
• In order to place the drilling table (23) in the tilted
position, loosen the hex-nut (24) which serves for
90° fixation with a flat spanner (SW19), remove the
clamping nut (27) and set the desired table angle.
Retighten the clamping-nut (27).
Adjusting table height (Fig. 21)
1. Loosen the clamping handles (6).
2. Adjust the table (7) to the desired height. Use the
adjustment handle for height adjustment (5).
3. Re-tighten the table locking (6)
Note: it is better to lock the table to the column in a po-
sition so that the tip of the drill bit is just slightly above
the top of the workpiece
Choosing speed and tensioning belt Fig. (22+23)
m Attention! Before opening the hood belt guard
always switch off the power plug. Wait before
maintenance / adjustment operations always full
stop of the machine (risk of injury)! Never run the
drill with open V-belt covering. Never touch in the
running V-belt.
Tip: Safety switch
If you want to adjust speed you have to open the
pulley cover. The device switches off immediately to
avoid the risk of injuries.
1. You can set different spindle speeds on your pillar
drilling machine:
2. Once you have turned off the machine, you can
open the cover (15) by loosening the screw (28).
You will find all adjustment options for the spindle
speed on the cover (15) of the machine.
3. Relieve the drive belt pressure on the right side
of the machine head by loosening the wing screw
(23). Pull the right side of the motor towards the
spindle slightly to relieve fan belt pressure.

4. Place the fan belt around the relevant pulleys.
5. Push the right side of the motor back to tighten
the fan belt.
6. Retighten the wing screw (29). The fan belt should
have about 13 mm play when it is squeezed in the
middle.
7. Close the cover.
8. If the fan belt slips during operation, adjust the
belt tension.
Depth stop (Fig. 24)
NOTE: When the clamping device is in the upper
position, the tip of the drill has to be slightly above
the top of the work piece.
The depth stop enables control of the drilling depth. To
do this, set the desired drilling depth and secure it us-
ing the knurled nuts (30) against the lower stop (31).
Installing drill bits (Fig. 25)
1. Insert drill bit intc chuck far enough to obtain max-
imum gripping of chuck jaws. (When using a small
drill bit do not insert it so far that the jaws touch
the flutes -spiral grocves -of the drill bit. )
2. Make sure that the drill bit is centered in the chuck
before tightening the chuck with the chuck key.
optional.
3. Tighten the chuck with the key so that the drill bit can-
not slip during the work.
Removing the chuck.
Open jaws of chuck as wide as they go by turning
chuck sleeve anticlockwise (when viewed from
above).
Carefully tap chuck with mallet in one hand while hold-
ing chuck in other hand to prevent dropping it when
released from spindle nose.
Positioning table and workpiece (Fig. 26)
Always place a piece of back up material ('wood) on
the table undemeath the workpiece. This wiII prevent
splitering or making a heavy burr on the underside of
the workpieces as the drill bit breaks through. To keep
the back up material from spinning out of control it
must contact the left side of the column (2) as illus-
trated.
m Warning:
To prevent the work piece or the backup material from
being torn from your hand while drilling, position them
to the left side of the column. If the work piece or the
backup material are not long enough to reach the col-
umn, clamp them to the table. Failure to do this could
result in personal injury.
Note: for small pieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (accessory).
The vice must be clamp or bolt to the table to avoid
injury from spinning work and vise or tool breakage.
