2. Carefully locate the table in its support
and nip up with the table clamping
handle (Fig.2).
3. Fit the table crank to the drive spigot.

on the rear of the column support.
DRILL PRESS HEAD TO COLUMN
CAUTION: THE HEAD ASSEMBLY IS HEAVY. TO AVOID ACCIDENT, TWO
PEOPLE SHOULD LIFT IT INTO POSITION.
1. Carefully lift the head assembly and
position it with its mounting opening over
the column. Swivel the assembly to
ensure it is seated correctly on the
column.
NOTE: It may be necessary to unscrew the
head locking set screws (A in Fig 2)
slightly to ensure they do not protrude
internally so as to prevent the head from
sliding fully into position.
2. Align the drill press head with the
direction of the base.
3. Tighten the set screws using an allen key.
FEED HANDLES
1. Screw the three feed handles into the threaded holes in the feed hub and
tighten by hand.
NOTE: When using the drill, one or two of the feed
handles may be removed if an unusually-
shaped workpiece interferes with handle
rotation.
CHUCK GUARD ASSEMBLY
NOTE: This operation should be carried out before
the chuck is installed if the guard cannot be
passed over the chuck.
Slide the Chuck Guard over the Quill Shaft, turn it so
that the pinch bolt faces the front, then nip up the
pinch bolt to temporarily secure it in this position.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Quill Shaft/Spindle is at the
top of it’s travel.
