Using the Baileigh Industrial DP - 1250VS drill press is straightforward. First, plug it into a 220 - volt single - phase power source. Place your material on the table and secure it using a vise or fixture in the large T - slots. Adjust the drilling speed according to your needs using the speed potentiometer dial. The digital readout will show you the actual spindle RPM. If you need to tap, use the auto - reversing tap function. Remember to keep the coolant system filled to extend the life of your drill bits and taps. As for maintenance, regularly check the motor and the spindle for any signs of wear. Clean the table and the base after each use. Keep the moving parts lubricated. If you encounter any issues, refer to the 1 - year parts warranty for assistance.
