MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
Quill Spring Adjustment
The quill spring may be adjusted to suit the operators
needs based upon the operation and tooling being
used. This may be most noted during tapping
functions for the retract operation during tapping.
The spring will also weaken over time and tightening
will be needed to fully retract the quill.
1. Firmly grasp the knob (A) and pull out away from
the drill head.
2. Turn the knob in 90
°
increments counterclockwise (CCW) to increase the spring tension, and
clockwise (CW) to remove spring tension.
3. Press the knob into the drill head at 90
°
intervals to lock the adjustment.
4. After each 90
°
interval, test the retraction of the quill. When properly set, the spring will fully
retract the quill including the chuck and tooling with the least amount of tension required to
do so. This will minimize the free spin speed of the quill feed handle if the handle is
accidently released when the quill is lowered.
NOTICE: The adjustment knob WILL be under a
spring load. Grasp the knob firmly to avoid the
knob spinning uncontrolled.
If the knob does slip and spin, simply twist the
knob to add tension back into the spring.
