Setting Up Your Machine

Leveling Feet

If needed, adjust the feet on the underside of the base to level the machine. Start by loosening the Lock Nuts from inside the stand. Level by rotating the feet up or down to the desired height as shown. When they are adjusted as desired, tighten down the Lock Nuts again.

Base of the Machine

Paper Side Stops

Attach the Paper Side Stops (FM4-4006) using two Side Stop Screws (FM4-4007) each. Position the Paper Side Stop as desired and tighten down with light pressure.

Master Chip Chute

Attach the Master Chip Chute (FMM6-651A) by inserting the two hooks located on the wide end of the Master Chip Chute into the rectangular opening in the upright as shown. The hooks are on the bottom of the Master Chip Chute and hook over the bottom of the opening.

Setting Up Your Machine

Chip Bag

Attach the Chip Bag (FMM6-650A) to the machine by stretching the mouth of the bag over the Master Chip Chute and hooking the aluminum bar onto the bracket located on the top flat portion of the master chip chute as shown. Please note that you must empty this bag as needed to avoid clogging.

Electrical Start Up

Making sure that nothing is interfering with the drill bits, plug the cord set into a grounded 115V outlet. To turn the machine on, press the Rocker Switch on the front of the shroud.

Operating Instructions

Drill Bit Removal And Installation

Note:

Please note that drill bits may be hot after drilling. Please wait to change drill bits until they have cooled down.

Remove the hole guard which is attached to the chuck. This is done by grasping the tab and sliding the guard off.

Using the Chuck Release Key (EBM-32), insert the tapered end facing down into the chuck hole. With a clockwise motion turn the Chuck Release Key 45 degrees. The drill bit will slide out of the spindle. It is recommended that you hold onto the drill bit so that it does not drop out of the spindle damaging the tip. Place the hole guard back onto the chuck to protect debris from clogging the spindle.

To install a drill bit, grasp the drill bit and being careful to keep it straight, press it up into the Chuck.

Seat the drill bit by using a stack of scrap paper. Set the scrap on the table as shown. Step on the foot pedal slowly raising the table toward the drill bit. Put light pressure on the hollow drill bit seating it firmly in place. Remove the scrap paper and turn the machine on to check the concentricity of the bit. If the bit is not concentric, remove it and repeat steps 3 and 4 until it is concentric.

Operating Instructions

Leveling The Drill Bits

To level the Drill Bits:

1. Insert the Spindle Rotation Tool (FMM9-956A) into the end of the motor shaft through the opening in the top of the machine shroud.
2. Swing the access cover located on the front of the heads to one side allowing access to the spindle and chuck.
3. Turn the Spindle Rotation Tool by hand until the insert retainer screw can be seen in the opening.
4. Stepping slowly on the foot pedal, raise the table so that it meets the bottom of the pressure foot assembly.
5. Using the 5/32” Hex Wrench (HEX-532-T), loosen the insert retainer screw and lower the chuck by pulling down on it until the drill bits meet the table surface.
6. When the drill bit is just touching the drill strip, re-tighten the insert retainer screw.
7. Repeat steps 1 - 6 on the remaing Drill Bits so that they are all level with each other.
8. Remove the Spindle Rotation Tool from the motor shaft.
9. Replace the access covers so that they cover the openings.

Note:

We recommend using a piece of card stock on the Table when leveling the drill bits to avoid drilling into the drill strip. This will lengthen the life of your drill bits and keep them sharper.

Insert Retainer Screw

Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Table Height

After you level the drill bits you may need to adjust your table height. Test drill through a stack of scrap approximately the same height as that you will be drilling. If the drill bits drill into the Drill Strip or if the drill bits fail to penetrate through the bottom sheet of scrap you will need to adjust the table height. If you are using the card stock under your scrap (recommended) then you should just be lightly scoring the card stock when the table is in its full upright position. If your bits are drilling correctly move onto Step #7.

Vertical Stop Adjustment

If your drill bits fail to penetrate through the scrap:

Loosen the Lock Knob of the Vertical Stop Adjustment Assembly and rotate the large knob counterclockwise allowing the table to travel higher. Tighten down the Lock Knob when it is positioned correctly.

If you are drilling into the Drill Strip:

Loosen the Lock Knob of the Vertical Stop Adjustment Assembly and rotate the large knob clockwise allowing the table to travel lower. Tighten down the Lock Knob when it is positioned correctly.

Back Gauge Adjustment

Adjust the Back Gauge so that it is the correct distance from the edge of the product to the center of the hole to be drilled by performing the following:

1. Loosen the Clamp Knob on the right side of the Back Gauge.
2. Using the two Scales embedded in the rear corners of the table, align the front edge of the Back Gauge with the desired distance.

Note:

Zero (0) on these scales align with the center of the Back Gauge Scale hollow drill bits.

3. Tighten down the Clamp Knob when the Back Gauge is positioned as desired.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting The Distance Between The Heads

To adjust the outside spindles to a desired spacing, loosen the Hand Wheel Lock Knob. Turn the Hand Wheel to move the spindle farther away from the center or to move the spindle closer to the center. Please note that the direction you turn the Hand Wheel depends on the side of the machine. Use the Back Gauge Scale as a guide. When the spindle is at its desired location tighten the Hand Wheel Lock Knob by turning clockwise. Repeat with the second outside spindle.

Note:

The center spindle is stationary.

Note:

When drilling fewer than three holes simply remove undesired drill bits.

Hand Wheel Lock Knob

Adjusting The Stop Collars

Note:

The stop collars, located on the Stop Rod at the left rear of the Table, are used to either create a stationary table mode of operation or a traversing mode.

Your machine comes set up in stationary mode.

For traversing table operations:

1. Install the shorter Set Screws included with the machine into the Stop Collars. Make sure all the Stop Collars are installed with the shorter Set Screws keeping them loose enough to allow the Stop Collars to slide into the desired positions.
2. Set the Stop Collars using the method explained on page 11.
3. When the Collars are positioned as desired, tighten down the short Set Screws locking them in place using the provided Hex Wrench (HEX-332).

For stationary table operations:

1. Align the table so that zero (0) on the Back Gauge is aligned with the center drill bit.
2. Install two longer Set Screws included with the machine into the adjacent Stop Collars.
3. Tighten, with the provided Hex Wrench (HEX-332), the longer Set Screws into the Stop Collars so that a Set Screw rests against each side of the Pedestal preventing movement of the Table.

Stop Collar Rod Stop Collar

Operating Instructions

Multi-hole Set Up

If a hole pattern includes more than three holes, you will need to adjust the Stop Collars to the desired spacing. The Stop Collars are adjusted as descibed in Step #9 of the Operating Instructions. Measure the distance between the stop collars in the following manner:

1. Locate the product on the Table and adjust the Paper Side Stops to trap the material allowing no lateral movement.
2. Move the Table to align zero (0) on the Back Gauge Scale with the center drill bit.
3. Loosen the Stop Collars and position the first one against the Pedestal Pin marking the beginning position of the Table and tighten in place.
4. The right side of this Stop Collar now indicates the center of the product to be drilled. Place the remaining Stop Collars as desired by measuring with a Ruler (not provided) to the desired positions and tighten them down. Always measure from the right side of the Stop Collar to the right side of the next Stop Collar as shown.

Note:

Due to the width of the Stop Collars, the shortest travel between holes is 3/8”. Almost any center-to-center distance can be drilled, but requires variations of table travel and lateral head adjustments.

Traversing The Table

When all the Stop Collars are positioned as desired return the Table to its original position. When traversing the Table during drilling (See Page #12 for Drilling Procedures), move the Table to the left until the Pedestal Pin “clicks” over the next Stop Collar. Pull the table back to the right and hold it there to assure contact between the Stop Collar and the Pedestal Pin. Continue drilling and repeat as needed.

To reverse the direction of the Table traverse, lift up on the Pedestal Pin Knob and turn it around. This will cause the angle of the Pedestal Pin to reverse allowing the Table to travel back over the Stop Collars. There are Locking Pins on the Pedestal Pin that fit into a groove on the Pedestal keeping it locked into a direction.

Operating Instructions

Drilling Procedures

Note:

After all your adjustments are made as desired, position the Table in its original position. Set the product to be drilled on the table and make sure it is secure using the Paper Side Stops. To drill, step down on the Foot Treadle raising the Table up to meet the drill bits. Using one consistent smooth stroke, put pressure on the Treadle so that the Table rises fully allowing the drill bits to drill through the product. It is important you maintain a consistent speed through the entire stack. It is also important you do not go too slow or too fast. If you drill too slow you can burn the paper leaving undesired marks. If you drill too fast, the drill bits will act more like a punch and they will break.

Different product requires different speeds. It is always recommended to drill through a test stack of the product until the operator is confident of the required speed.

Tips On Drilling

Use a sharp bit at all times...Using a drill bit sharpener (Lassco-Wizer MS-1 recommended), sharpen your drill bits regularly. Apply light pressure when sharpening. Too much pressure may cause flaring of the tip. (Once a drill bit has a flared tip, it becomes defective.)

Sharpening Stone...Use to debur the outside cutting edge of the drill bits for better performance.

Lubricate drill bits occasionally...use Drill-Ease or Spin-Eze . While the drill is running, simply touch the Drill-Ease stick to the drill bit or brush on the Spin-Eze . Drill through scrap to remove any excess. This will allow for a smoother cut.

Drill Strips...When drilling, a drill bit must stop slightly above the drill strip. Replace worn out drill strips regularly to ensure proper drilling.

Maintenance

Every 12 Months (or as needed depending on use)

Make sure to unplug the machine from the power supply before conducting any maintenance.

Remove the Table by loosening the left end Stop Collar on the Stop Bar Assembly and rotating the Table Traverse Stop down to clear the Pedestal. Pull the Table to the right until the Table clears the slide beneath the Table. Inspect the slide for build-up and lubricate with light machine oil. Using the Foot Treadle raise the Slide and Lubricate the bars underneath the Slide as shown. Replace the Table in the same manner as it was removed and check the Table traverse for free travel.

Lubricate the Stop Pin with light machine oil, work the pin up and down and rotate it a few times for proper lubrication.

Lubricate the pivot points, shown in the diagram, in the lower back portion of the machine with light machine oil. Lubricate the Treadle Pivot Assembly at the front of the machine in the same manner.

Making sure the machine is unplugged and after disconnecting the electrical wiring to the Switch on the shroud, remove the shroud by lifting straight up to clear the drive mechanism making sure the Traverse Locks are disengaged. Lubricate the two (2) Idler Pulleys with a good grade of grease. A grease gun is required (not included). Rotate the belts by hand to check the Idler Pulleys for wear

Note:

Some play between the Idler Pulley Bearings and the Idler Pins comply with original specifications and is not a problem.

Maintenance

Every 12 Months (or as needed depending on use)

Lubricate the Head Traverse Screws by applying light grease either by hand, or a small brush to the points indicated in the diagram. Move the heads to both extremes to coat the complete surface of the screws and inspect them for thread wear.

Apply a light grease on the two (2) Traverse Rods either by hand or with a small brush to the points indicated in the diagram. Crank both heads in and out to distribute the lubrication and to check the head movement.

Inspect the Belts for wear and the proper tension. The tension should be adjusted to an approximate 1/2” gap between a straight edge placed from the outside edge of the Idler Pulley to the outside edge of the Outside Pulley with the pulleys located one behind the other. Depress the belt halfway between the two pulleys and measure the distance between the straight edge and the belt depression.

Straight Edge

Outside Pulley

The belts can be adjusted by loosening the Lock Nut on the Belt Adjustment Screw located on the front portion of the Flex Drive Pivot Assembly and turning the screw clockwise to tighten the belt and counterclockwise to loosen the belt.
