Setting Up
The drill arrives in a carton and needs assembly: column to base, table bracket and table, head, feed handles, then the arbor and chuck. At 148 kg, you'll want lifting gear or a few extra hands to move it. Bolt the base to the floor before use so it can't tip or slide, and plug it into a power supply protected by a circuit breaker.
Safe Use
- This drill press is for drill bits only. Other accessories can be dangerous.
- Clamp the work in a vice or to the table. Never hold metal by hand.
- Take the chuck key out before switching on.
- Don't wear gloves while the drill is running.
- Unplug it before any maintenance or adjustment.
Warranty
Borum covers this drill for 12 months from purchase against defects in materials and workmanship (90 days if it's hired out). Normal wear and tear, misuse, modifications and accident damage aren't covered.
