Assembly and adjustments

Angular play of the spindle (Fig. 23)

Move the spindle to the lowest downward position and

hold in place. With your other hand, try to make it

revolve around its axis with a side motion. If there is too

much play proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut (1).
2. Turn the screw (2) clockwise to eliminate the play but

without obstructing the upward and downward motion of

the spindle (a little bit of play is normal).
3. Tighten the lock nut (2).

Install drill bits (Fig. 24)

1. Place the chuck key (1) into the side keyhole of the

chuck (2), meshing the gear teeth (3).
2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the

chuck jaws (4).
3. Insert a drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain

maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.
4. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before final

tightening of the chuck.
5. Use the chuck key for the final tightening to make

sure the drill bit will not slip while drilling.

To reduce the risk of injury, only use

the chuck key provided with this drill

press or a duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-

ejecting and will “pop” out of the chuck when you let go.

This action is designed to help prevent throwing of the

chuck key from the chuck when power is turned “ON”.

Do not use any other key as a substitute; order a new

one if damaged or lost.

To reduce the risk of injury, make

sure the chuck key is removed from

the chuck before starting any drilling operation.
