Ferm 53
To prevent the workpiece or the wooden filler block
beneath it from being wrenched out of your hands
during drilling,you should lay the workpiece against the left-
hand side of the column.If the workpiece or the filler block is
too short to reach the column,clamp the workpiece
immovably on the table,or use the dog provided.A workpiece
that is not properly clamped can cause serious injury.
DRILLING A HOLE
• Use a centre punch or a sharp nail and mark the place
where you want to drill.
• Before turning on the machine,feed the drill down to
the workpiece,so that the bit is lined up on the mark.
• Turn on the machine,and feed the drill by gently
pulling on the drill grips.Just use as much force as is
necessary to allow the drill to cut.
Feeding too slowly can lead to burning of the bit.
Feeding too fast can cause motor cut-out,belt
slippage,breakage of the workpiece,or breakage of
the bit.
• When drilling metal,the bit point must be oiled,to
avoid overheating.
DEPTH-SCALE METHOD
Fig.X
• With the machine switched off,loosen the lock on
the depth scale by turning the depth scale locking
knob anticlockwise.
• Rotate the depth scale (2) to the desired drilling
depth that is indicated by the pointer (3) on the scale.
• Tighten the locking knob of the depth scale firmly,by
turning it clockwise.
• Now the chuck and bit cannot exceed the value
specified for the feed depth.
DRILLING A BLIND HOLE
Fig.Y
A blind hole is drilled to a specified depth The bit stops
before it can emerge from the bottom of the workpiece.
• Mark the hole depth on the side of the workpiece
(1).
• Release the depth scale locking knob (2).
• With the machine switched off,using the drill grips,
feed the bit just far enough that the point of the bit
(or the start of the spirals) (3) corresponds to the
marking made earlier (1).
• Rotate the depth scale (4) anticlockwise,until it can
go no further.
• Lock the depth scale (2) by retightening the depth
scale locking knob.
• This is now the point at which the bit will stop,until
the depth scale is adjusted again.
LOCKING THE CHUCK AT THE DESIRED
DEPTH
Fig.Z
• With the machine switched off,release the depth
scale locking knob (1).
• Turn the drill grips until the chuck (2) has reached
the desired depth.Hold the drill grips firmly in this
position.
• Rotate the depth scale (3) clockwise,until it can go
no further.
• Lock the depth scale (1) by retightening the depth
scale locking knob.
• The chuck will stay in this position when the drill
grips are released.
CHUCK AND SHAFT REMOVAL
Fig.AA
• With the machine switched off,adjust the depth
scale (1) to lock at the maximum drilling depth of 76
mm (see directions “Locking the chuck at the
desired depth”).
• Turn the chuck by hand until the holes in the spindle
(2) and the hollow shaft (3) are aligned.
• Insert the wedge (4) into the holes (2 and 3).
• Using a plastic hammer,tap the wedge carefully,until
the chuck and the shaft (5) fall out of the spindle (3).
Note:Hold one hand under the chuck to catch it when
it falls.
Always switch the machine OFF and remove the
plug from the power socket,before you remove or
assemble the chuck.This avoids potential injuries through
unintended switching on.
POSITIONING THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Fig.BB - CC
Clamp the table (1) firmly to the column (2) at a height
where the point of the bit (3) just stops short of the
workpiece (4).Always lay a piece of scrap wood between
the workpiece and the table as a filler block.This
prevents splinters and burrs on the bottom of the
workpiece.To prevent the filler block from turning with
the tool,clamp it against the left-hand side of the column.
To prevent the workpiece or the wooden filler block
beneath it from being wrenched out of your hands
during drilling,you should lay the workpiece against the left-
hand side of the column.If the workpiece or the filler block is
too short to reach the column,use the dog provided to clamp
the workpiece in,otherwise clamp it firmly to the table.Failure
to do this can lead to serious injury.
• For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the
table,use the vice (special accessory).
The vice must be clamped or screwed to the table,
to prevent injury from spinning tools and to avoid
damage to the vice itself or the drill bit.Remove the drill dog,if
this gets in the way of the vice or another part of the drill.
TILTING THE DRILL TABLE
Fig.DD
Note:The table arm and the support (1) have a pre-
drilled hole with a built-in security pin,that locks the
table in a predetermined horizontal position of 0°.
• To tilt the table,first turn the nut on the security pin
(2) clockwise,to withdraw the pin and loosen the
engagement of the table with the support bracket.
• Loosen the large tilt locking bolt (3).
To prevent injury,the complete table and table arm
must be held firmly,making sure that the parts do not
turn or tilt.
• Tilt the table until the desired angle is achieved.Then
retighten the tilt locking bolt (3).
• To return the table to the original position,loosen
the tilt locking bolt (3).
• Unscrew the nut (2) on the security pin to the last
thread on the screw.With the table in the horizontal
position,tap carefully on the security pin until it is
seated again in the table support clamp.Tighten the
nut by hand.
Always clamp the workpiece and the filler block
tightly to the table,before you commence drilling
with a tilted table.This prevents injury from rotating
workpieces or broken tools.
DRILLING
• Turn the drill feed grips downwards with sufficient
force,that the bit cuts into the wood.
• Drilling too slowly can cause the bit to burn.Drilling
too fast can cause motor cut-out,belt slippage,
breakage of the workpiece,or breakage of the bit.
• When drilling metal,the bit point must be oiled,to
avoid burning of the point.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Always switch the machine OFF and remove the
plug from the power socket,before you perform
adjustments.This avoids potential injuries through
unintended switching on.
Contact your supplier if the motor fails to start for any
reason.
1. Noisy operation
• Incorrect belt tension.
Re-tension belt (see section “Directions for setup,Belt
tension”).
• Dry spindle.
Lubricate spindle (see section “Maintenance,
Lubrication”).
• Loose spindle pulley block.
Check if the locknut on the pulley block is still tightened.
Tighten if necessary.
• Loose motor pulley block.
Tighten the adjusting nut in the motor pulley block.
2. Bit overheating
• Incorrect speed.
Change drill speed (see section “Working with the
radial column drill press,Spindle speeds”).
• Cuttings not ejected from hole.
Withdraw bit more frequently to eject cuttings.
• Blunt bit.

• Drilling too slowly.
Drill fast enough to allow the bit to cut.
• Not lubricated.
Lubricate machine (see section “Maintenance,
Lubrication”).
3. Drill leads off,drilled hole not round
• Hard grain in wood,or cutting lips of drill bit off
centre.
Re-sharpen bit correctly.
• Bit is bent.
Replace bit.
4. Splinters at the drill exit point
• No filler block under the workpiece.
Lay a piece of wooden scrap under the workpiece
(see section “Working with the radial column drill
press”).
5. Workpiece wrenched from the hand
• Not well clamped
Clamp the workpiece firmly (see section “Working
with the radial column drill press”).
6. Bit stuck in workpiece
• The workpiece seizes the bit tightly,or the feed
pressure is excessive.
Clamp the workpiece firmly (see section “Working
with the radial column drill press”).
• Incorrect belt tension.
Re-tension belt following directions (see section
“Directions for setup,Belt tension”).
7. Bit does not rotate precisely,or wobbles
• Bit is bent.
Use a straight bit.
• Worn bearings.
Replace bearings.
• Bit not correctly clamped in chuck.
Insert and clamp the bit correctly (see sections
“Working with the radial column drill press” and
“Directions for Assembly”).
• Chuck not correctly fitted.
Fit the chuck correctly (see section “Directions for
Assembly,Chuck assembly”).
8. Spindle jumps back
• Incorrect return spring tension.
Correct the return spring tension (see section
“Directions for setup,Spindle return spring”).
9. Chuck does not stay on spindle,falls down
when trying to assemble
• Contamination,grease or oil on the conical interior
of the chuck or the conical surface of the spindle.
Remove contamination,grease and oil,using a
household cleaner (see section “Directions for
Assembly,Chuck assembly”).
7.MAINTENANCE
For your own safety,switch the machine OFF and
remove the plug from the mains power socket,
before lubricating or performing maintenance on the drill
press.
Ferm machines are designed to function problem-free
for a long period with a minimum of maintenance.
Through regular cleaning and correct treatment,you
help assure a long working life for your machine.
Cleaning
Regularly blow or vacuum dust out of all parts of the drill
press,including the drive enclosure.
By giving a layer of ski wax to the table,the column and
the horizontal tube,the surfaces will be easier to keep
clean,and the machine will be smoother in operation.
To avoid shocks and danger of fire,a power cord
showing signs of wear or cracks should
immediately be replaced.
Lubrication
Every bearing in the drill press has been pre-lubricated in
the factory.Further lubrication is unnecessary.
From time to time,you should grease the racks and
pinions,the table lifting mechanism,the spindle and the
splines of the hollow shaft.Open the drive belt guard and
squirt a little oil onto the spindle shaft.Do not allow any
oil to touch the drive belt!
Take care that the machine is not connected to
power whenever maintenance work on the
mechanical parts is taking place.
Faults
If a fault should occur,for example as a result of wear on a
part,contact your nearest Ferm dealer.
At the back of this operator's guide you will find an
exploded parts diagram with the parts that can be
ordered.
