NOTE: NEVER HIT THE CHUCK ASSEMBLY
WITH A METAL HAMMER. This could
damage the chuck assembly
or spindle.
NOTE:
It is important that the chuck mounting
hole and spindle are free of any grease or rust
protection before they are installed together in
step 5. Use ordinary household grease remover
to clean these mating surfaces.
4. Tighten the drill press head into position
on the column by locking the hex screws on
both sides of the casting.

FIG. 6
NOTE:
When using the drill press, one or two of
the feed handles may be removed if an unusually
shaped workpiece interferes with handle rotation.
Upon completion of your drilling, the removed
handle(s) must be reinstalled on the machine
immediately to avoid any future safety issues.
