You are now in Calibration Mode.

 

Lower the quill to the depth shown on the screen. 

 

 

If your drill press is set to imperial units, the calibration depth displayed here will be in Inches. 

e.g.:

Hold the quill at the depth specified while pressing <Set Depth>.

Repeat the steps (4) and (5) until the calibration is complete and returns to the main screen.
