INSTALLING OR REMOVING BITS (FIG 13)
WArNING:
To reduce the risk of injury,
only use the chuck key provided with this drill
press or a duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-
ejecting and will “pop” out of the chuck when
you let go. This action is designed to help prevent
throwing of the chuck key from the chuck when
power is turned “ON”. Do not use any other key as
a substitute; order a new one if damaged or lost.
To install a drill bit (FIG 13)
1. unplug the drill press.
2. Place the chuck key (G) into the side keyhole of the chuck (4), meshing the gear teeth (C1).
3. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws (C2).
4. Insert a drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.
5. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before final tightening of the chuck.
6. use the chuck key for the final tightening to make sure the drill bit will not slip while drilling.
To remove the bit
, reverse the steps listed above.
WArNING:
Make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before
starting any drilling operation.

WArNING:
read and understand the following items about your drill press
before attempting to use it.
POSITION THE TABLE AND WORK PIECE
Always place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the work piece This will
prevent splintering on the underside of the work piece as the drill bit breaks through. To keep the material from
spinning out of control, it must contact the left side of the column as illustrated, and be clamped to the table.
for small work pieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be
clamped or bolted on the table.
