INSTALLING/CHANGING WORKLIGHT BULB
See Figure 12.
The integrated worklight can be used to help illuminate
the work area. The worklight requires a 15-watt, 10-volt,
candelabra-base bulb (not included).
To install, insert the bulb into the worklight receptacle and
twist clockwise to secure.
MOUNTING THE DRILL PRESS
See Figure 13.
If the drill press is to be used in a permanent location, secure
it to a workbench or other stable surface.
If the drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten it
permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped
to a workbench or other stable surface. The mounting board
should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while drill press
is in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a
3/4 in. thickness is recommended.
 Mark holes on surface where drill press is to be mounted
using holes in drill press base as a template for hole pat-
tern.
 Drill holes through mounting surface.
 Place drill press on mounting surface, aligning holes in
the base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.
 Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock
washers and hex nuts (not included).
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to
go through holes in drill press base and material the drill
press is being mounted to. If machine bolts are used,
make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in
drill press, the material being mounted to, and the lock
washers and hex nuts.
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
workbench.
Once the drill press is securely mounted on a sturdy
surface perform the following:

Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON.
 Adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as
necessary.
 Check the table assembly to assure smooth movement
up and down the column.
 Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly.
