INSTALLING THE HEAD
Warning!
The drill press head is very heavy, it is not recommended to
attempt installation of the head by yourself, obtain help.
1) Carefully lift the head (A) Fig.9 above the column (B) and slide it down
on the column as far as it will go. Align the head with the table and the
base.
2) Using a 5 mm hex. key, tighten both head set screws (C) Fig.9 on the
right side of the head.
INSTALLING DOWNFEED HANDLES
1) Screw the 3 downfeed handles (A) Fig.10 to the feed hub (B) as
shown.
INSTALLING VARIABLE SPEED ADJUSTING HANDLE
1) Screw the variable speed handle (C) Fig.10 to the variable speed hub
(D) as shown.
INSTALLING CHUCK & ARBOR
1) Before attempting to install chuck on the drill press arbor, and
installing arbor in spindle, it is extremely important to clean all grease
and or dirt particles from the chuck opening and the arbor. Make sure
there are no foreign particles sticking to the surfaces. The slightest
piece of dirt on the arbor nose or the chuck will prevent the chuck from
seating properly. This will cause the drill to “wobble”.
2) Locate the 5/8” chuck (A) Fig.11 and arbor (B). Insert the arbor into
the chuck opening.
3) Push the chuck and arbor assembly up into the drill spindle (C) as far
as they will go. Turn chuck and arbor assembly until it completely
enters the spindle.
4) Turn the chuck sleeve clockwise, or use the supplied chuck key, and
open the chuck jaws completely.
5) Lightly tap the nose of the chuck with a piece of wood to insure the
proper seating of the chuck on the arbor and arbor in the spindle.
REMOVING THE CHUCK & ARBOR
1) Lower the quill using the feed handles. Align key holes in spindle and
quill (A) Fig.12 as shown by rotating the chuck (B) by hand.
2) Insert drift key (C) into key holes in the quill.
3) Tap drift key lightly until the chuck and arbor fall out of the spindle.
NOTE:
Place one hand below the chuck to catch it when it falls out.
