INSTALLING THE FEED HANDLES (FIG.10)
1. Locate the three feed handles among the loose parts.
2. Screw the feed handle tightly into the threaded holes in the hub.
INSTALLING THE BELT GUARD KNOB
1. To attach the belt guard knob, use the knob and a pan head screw
from the loose parts bag. Insert the pan head screw into the belt
guard and screw knob. Tighten.
WARNING!
To avoid possible injury, keep the guard in place and in
proper working order while operating.
TENSIONING THE BELT (FIG.11)
NOTE: The drill press is shipped with the belt installed, but it should
be properly tensioned before use.
1. Lift the guard from the right side and keep it opened.
2. Release the belt tension lock handle located on the right side of the
drill press head. Pull the right side of the motor towards the front
to relieve the spring tension of the belt. Tighten the belt tension
lock handle.
3. Choose the desired speed for your drilling operation, and move the
belt to the indicated position. Refer to the chart on the inside of the
belt guard.
4. Loosen the belt tension lock handle and move the right side of the
motor backwards to apply tension to the belt.
5. Tighten the belt tension lock handle.
NOTE: The belt should deflect approximately 1/2” by applying finger
pressure at the mid-point of the belt between the pulleys.
6. Close the belt guard.
7. If the belt slips while drilling, reajust the belt tension.
INSTALLING DRILL BITS (FIG.12)
Insert the drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain the maximum
gripping of the chuck jaws. The chuck jaws are approximately 1”
long. When using a small drill bit, do not insert it so far that the jaws
touch the flutes (spiral grooves) of the bit.
Make sure the drill bit is centered in the chuck before tightening the
chuck with the key. Tighten the drill bit well, so that it doesn’t slip
while drilling. Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten
counter-clockwise to loosen.
