INSTALLING A DRILL BIT
1. Loosen the chuck jaws with the chuck key and rotate in a counterclockwise
direction by hand.
2. Insert the drill bit into the chuck.
3. Whilst holding the drill bit in one hand rotate the top collar of the chuck in
a clockwise direction to tighten it. Secure the bit with the chuck key.
MORSE TAPER DRILL BITS
1. To use Morse taper bits, remove the chuck and arbor.
2. To remove chuck and arbor, adjust stationary depth to 3 in. (75 mm) (see
Depth Adjustment).
3. Rotate spindle by hand to line up spindle and the long slot on the right side
of the drill press, called the quill key hole.
4. Place the wedge (#79) in the quill key hole and lightly tap until the arbor
and chuck fall out. Place something soft on the table or have someone
ready to catch the arbor and chuck as they fall
5. Place Morse taper drill bit into the spindle, twist and push upwards until bit
is snug. Place a block of wood on the table and crank up table until the
tapered bit is firmly seated into the spindle.
SETTING THE DRILLING DEPTH
The depth stop collar (Fig. 4-1) has a graduated scale. Turn the collar around the
hub and lock in place with the locking screw (Fig. 4-2).
The graduations are in imperial (inches) and metric (centimetres).
1. Lower the drill (with the power OFF) so that it contacts the material and
hold in that position.
2. Slacken off the locking screw and turn the
collar so that the measurement for the
depth of the hole required is in line with
the pointer (Fig. 4-3).
3. Lock the collar in this position using the
locking screw.
