ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: All the adjustments for the operation of the

driii press have been completed at the factory. Due to
normal wear and use, some occasional readjustments
may be necessary.

A WARNING

To avoid injury from an accidental start, ALWAYS make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position, the switch key is

removed, and the plug is not connected to the power

source outlet before making belt adjustments.

ALIGNING THE BELT PULLEYS (FIG. N)
Open the Head cover of the Drill Press. Check alignment
of the pulleys with a straight edge (5) such as a framing
square, a level, or a piece of wood. Lay the straight edge
across the top of the pulleys. If all three pulleys are NOT

aligned:

1. Release belt pressure by loosening the belt tension

lock knobs {2} on either side of the head,

counterclockwise.

2. Loosen the motor mount nuts (3). Lift or lower the

motor (4) until the pulleys are in line.

3. Tighten the motor mount nuts (3) Using an adjustable

wrench.

NOTE: To avoid rattles or other noise, the motor
housing should not touch the lower belt guard
housing.

4.

Retighten the belt by pulling the motor (4) toward or

away from the drill press head, until the belt deflects
approximately 1/2 inch when pressed in the center.

NOTE: Refer to the chart inside the belt guard

cover for recommended drilling speeds and
belt / pulley positions.

5. ^ Lock the belt tension lock knobs (2) by turning

clockwise.

NOTE: When the belt is new, it may be difficult to

move the belt. As the machine is used, the belt will

gain more elasticity and will be easier to adjust.
