ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED)


Feed handles


1. Thread the three feed handle rods into the holes on the feed hub.

2. Hand tighten.

Note: One or two of the feed handles may be removed if an unusually-shaped workpiece interferes with
handle rotation.

Install spindle cover lock knob (Fig.5)

Open the pulley cover and install the knob.

Mount the drill press

(Fig. 6)


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. 7)


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.


CAUTION: 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.
