Installing the chuck (Fig. 8)
Clean the conical hole in the chuck (5) and the spindle pipe(see fig.2) with a clean piece of fabric.
Make sure there are no foreign particles sticking to the surfaces. The slightest piece of dirt on any of
these surfaces will prevent the chuck from seating properly. This will cause the drill bit to wobble". If
tapered hole in the chuck is extremely dirty, use a cleaning solvent on the clean cloth.
Push the chuck up on the spindle nose as far as it will go.
Turn chuck sleeve anticlockwise (when viewed from above) and open jaws in chuck completely.
Place a piece of wood on the machine table and lower the spindle onto the piece of wood. Press

Quill return spring (Fig. 9)
It may be necessary to adjust your quill return spring if the tension is such that the quill returns either too rapidly or too slowly
- Lower table for additional clearance.
- Work from left side of drill press.
- Move the stop nuts (B) down to their lowest position and lock in place with wrench to prevent quill dropping while tensioning spring.
- Place screwdriver in lower front notch (C) of spring cap (D) and hold it in place
- Remove the screw (E) and the knurled nut (C) by using an Allen wrench.
- Carefully turn screwdriver anticlockwise and engage next notch in boss (G). Do not remove screwdriver.
- Install the knurled nut (C) and the screw (E) again.
- If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat steps moving only one notch each time and checking tension after repetition. Proper tension is achieved
when quill returns gently to full up position when released from 20mm-3/4" -depth.
- Check quill while feeding to have smooth and unrestricted movement. If movement is too tight, loosen allen screw (E) and knurled nut (F). Check if the
spindle can move freely again. Retighten jam nut.
