Quick start
- Follow the safety rules: The machine is for one person only. Disconnect the power before working on it. Never run it with guards removed.
- Set the vertical stroke: When you change drills, turn the adjustment rod in (clockwise) all the way. Put in the new drill, then turn the rod out in small steps until the drill just cuts through the bottom sheet of a lift.
- Set the side guide stops: Set the rear gage to the back margin. Set both sides to the same dimension and tighten the two thumbscrews. Slide the stops to the distance between holes.
- Use the auto-trip guide: The guide trips after each hole is drilled. For single-hole jobs, lock the trip arm up with the thumbscrew.
- Test a sample sheet: Drill and measure a sample sheet before drilling a full lift. Retighten the finger screw after any fine adjustment.
- Drill: Switch the machine on. Press the foot treadle to bring the drill down through the lift. Release the treadle and the drill returns to the top.
- Maintain daily: Sharpen the hollow drill often and lubricate it with the drill grease provided.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Machine lacks power | Voltage at the machine may be low. | Check the voltage at the machine. Remove other machinery from the line or provide a separate branch circuit. Page 11 |
| Treadle sticks | There is a bind in the treadle assembly. | Free the bind, clean and oil it. Page 11 |
| Drill head will not return up | The shafts may be stuck, or the lift springs may be broken. | Clean and oil the shafts. Replace the springs if necessary. Page 11 |
| Drill head will not come down | A lift spring may be broken. | Replace the broken spring. Page 11 |
| Drill burns into the cutting block | The vertical stroke is set too deep. | Turn the adjustment rod in, then turn it out in small steps until the drill just cuts through the bottom sheet of a lift. Page 10 |
| Drills break or jam often | A dull or dirty drill is the major cause of drill breakage and production tie-ups. | Keep drills sharp and clean, and lubricate them. Always take care when handling drills. Page 11 |

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop the drill partway through a stroke?
You can release the foot treadle at any time during the downward stroke. Never rest your foot on the treadle unless you mean to bring the drill down. See page 10.
How do I set the vertical stroke on the Challenge JF?
Turn the adjustment rod in all the way when changing drills. Then turn it out in small steps until the drill just cuts through the bottom sheet of a lift. See page 10.
How do I remove a drill from the chuck?
Put the drill drift, flat side down, into the hole in the chuck and lift upward. This forces the drill down and releases it. Handle drills with care, because even dull drills can cause cuts. See page 10.
How do I set the side guide stops?
Set the rear gage to the back margin, with both sides at the same dimension, and tighten the two thumbscrews. Then slide the stops to the distance between holes. See page 10.
What daily maintenance does the drill need?
Sharpen the hollow drill often and reset the spindle adjustment rod if needed. Lubricate the drill frequently with the drill grease provided. See page 10.
