Work piece needs secure mounting due to spindle's high torque
 
 
No through hole (table designed for coolant), must use vise
 
No quill stop, must set table or head height to prevent drilling into table
 
Don't force gear selectors, hand turn spindle as needed to align gears
 
Gears reverse spindle, must turn power switch to appropriate side for correct spindle rotation direction
 
Power switch has two speeds to each side
 
Drill shanks must be firmly seated in taper
 
To remove drill, lower spindle to expose the slot in the quill, turn the spindle by hand until the quill slot lines up with the spindle slot, insert the #3 drift into the slot with the curved edge facing up, grasp drill, tap drift with hammer
