Once the adjustments have been made, turn on the machine and wait for it to get up to speed.
Note here the wood will simple be held by hand. However, if drilling larger holes, I strongly urge you to use a clamp to affix the material to the drill press table.
Once the machine is up to speech, grab the uppermost knob on the wheel on the right, and gently pull it toward you, lowering the bit into the wood.
Once you have drilled into the material as far as necessary, let the bit back up, but don't let it spring up on its own--keep control of the machine.
Note that Nancy is wearing safety glasses. The machine does throw off sawdust, so eye protection is very important.
