DESCRIPTION
This Sealey bench pillar drill is part of a wide - ranging collection, perfect for light industrial, agricultural, and woodworking tasks. It complies with the Safety of Machinery (Safety) Directives 1992 and its amendments. Fitted with safety devices like a no - voltage release switch, it's approved by insurance companies for use in educational institutions. Models starting from GDM50B come with Morse taper spindle housings to hold taper shank drill bits. All models feature multiple - speed drives, and mechanical protection prevents access to drive belts during operation. Rack and pinion feed shafts with preset depth control are installed in all drills, making them ideal for repetitive work. Mortise attachments are available for models from GDM120B to GDM200F.
Using your Sealey bench pillar drill is easy. First, make sure the drill is plugged into a 230V power source. Select the appropriate speed for your task using the multiple - speed drive. If you're using a taper shank drill bit, ensure your model (GDM50B and up) has the right Morse taper spindle housing. When starting work, use the rack and pinion feed shaft with preset depth control for consistent results, especially for repetitive tasks. For models from GDM120B to GDM200F, you can attach a mortise attachment for additional functionality. Safety is important. Always keep your hands away from the drive belts during operation, thanks to the mechanical protection. Since it has a no - voltage release switch, it's safe to use in educational settings, but still, ensure all users are aware of basic safety rules. For maintenance, regularly check the drill for any signs of wear and tear. Keep it clean and lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation and a long lifespan.
