Assembly and adjustments
Mount the drill press (Fig. 11)
Your drill press must be securely fastened through the
mounting holes (1) to a stand or work bench with heavy-
duty fasteners. This will prevent the drill press
from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation.
IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a
tendency to move during operation, fasten it securely to
the floor.
Install the chuck (Fig. 12)
1. Inspect and clean the taper hole in the chuck (1) and
the spindle (2). Remove all grease, coatings, and
particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces with a
clean cloth.
2. Open the chuck jaws (3) by turning the chuck barrel
clockwise by hand. Make sure the jaws are
completely recessed inside the chuck.
3. Seat the chuck on the spindle by placing a block of
wood (4) under the chuck (1) and tapping the wood
with a hammer (5) or tap the chuck with a rubber
mallet.
To avoid damaging the chuck, make
sure the jaws are completely recessed
into the chuck. Do not use a metal hammer directly
to drive the chuck into the spindle.
Remove the chuck (Fig. 13)
1. Turn the feed handles (1) to lower the chuck (2) to the
lowest position.
2. Place a ball joint separator (not shown) above the
chuck (3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause
the chuck to drop from the spindle.
Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch
the chuck as it falls.
