BELT TENSION (FIG. P)
To avoid injury from an accidental start,
ALWAYS make sure the switch is in
the “OFF” position, the switch key is
removed, and the plug is not connected
to the power source outlet before making
belt adjustments.
1. Open the pulley cover.
2. To unlock the belt tension, turn the belt
tension lock knob (1) on the right side of
the drill press head counterclockwise.
3. Pull the motor (2) toward the front of the
drill press to loosen the belt tension.
4. Position the belt on the correct pulley
steps for the desired speed.
5. Push the motor away from the drill press
head until the belt is properly tensioned.
NOTE:
Belt tension is correct if the belt
deflects approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
when pressed at its center.
6. Tighten the belt tension lock knob (1)
to secure the motor in position. Close
pulley cover.

QUILL RETURN SPRING (FIG. O)
The quill return spring may need adjustment
if the quill return speed is too fast or too slow.
This spring is located on the left side of the
drill head.
1. Lower the table for additional clearance.
2. Place a screwdriver in the lower front
notch (1) of the spring cap (2). Hold it in
place while loosening and removing
only the outer jam nut (3), using a 10 mm
wrench.
3. With the screwdriver still engaged in the
notch (1), loosen the inner nut (4) just
until the notch (5) disengages from the
boss (6) on the drill press head.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS INNER NUT,
because the spring will forcibly unwind.
4. Carefully turn the spring cap (2)
counterclockwise with the screwdriver,
engaging the next notch.
5. Lower the quill to the lowest position by
rotating the feed handle in a
counterclockwise direction while holding
the spring cap (2) in position.
6. If the quill moves up and down as you
desire, tighten the inner nut (4) against
the spring cap with the wrench. If too
loose, repeat steps 3 through 5 to tighten.
If too tight, reverse steps 4 and 5.
7. Secure the outer nut (3) against the
inner nut (4) with the wrench.
DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN
and restrict quill
movement.
