ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! For your own safety, turn the switch OFF
and remove the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments. To avoid injury from thrown
parts due to the spring release, follow instructions
carefully and wear safety glasses.
Quill return spring
1. Move the stop nuts down to their lowest position
and lock in place with a wrench to prevent the quill
from dropping while you are tensioning the spring.
2. Lower the table for additional clearance.
3. Work from the left side of the drill press.
4. Place screwdriver in the lower front notch of the
spring cap and hold it in place while loosening and
removing jam (outer) nut only.
5. With the screwdriver remaining in the notch,
loosen the large standard (inner) nut until the notch
disengages the boss on the head.
6. Carefully turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise
and engage the next notch in the boss.
DO NOT
REMOVE THE SCREWDRIVER.
7. Tighten the standard nut with the wrench but only
enough to engage the boss. Do not over tighten as
this will restrict the quill movement.
8. Move the stop nuts to the upper most position and
check the tension while you turn the feed handles.
9. If there is not enough tension on the spring, repeat
steps 4-8 moving one notch each time and checking
the tension after each repetition.
10. Proper tension is achieved when the quill returns
gently to the full up position when it is released from
3/4 depth.
11. When there is not enough tension after checking,
replace the jam nut and tighten the standard nut, but
do not over tighten against the standard nut.
12. Check the quill while feeding to have a smooth
and unrestricted movement. If the movement is too
tight, loosen the jam nut and slightly loosen the
standard nut until it is unrestricted. Retighten the
jam nut.
Removing the chuck
1. Open the jaws of the chuck as wide as they will go by
turning the chuck sleeve.
2. Carefully tap the chuck with a mallet in one hand
while holding the chuck in the other hand to prevent
the chuck from dropping when it is released from the
spindle nose.
Adjusting the table square to the head
1. Insert a precision round steel rod approximately 3
long into the chuck and tighten.
2. With the table raised to working height and locked
into position, place a combination square flat on the
table beside the rod.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the table bevel
lock bolt with an adjustable wrench. This adjustment is
located under the table.
4. Align the table square to the rod by tilting the table.
5. Retighten the table bevel lock bolt.
