INSTALL THE CHUCK

Refer to Figure 6

Clean the spindle taper and the tapered hole in the chuck 

before assembly. Remove factory protective coating with 

alcohol or household oven cleaner.  

•  Rotate the chuck sleeve counterclockwise and open the 

   jaws as wide as possible. 

•  Place chuck on the taper of spindle and gently tape the 

   chuck into position with a rubber hammer or a hammer 

   with wood block. Never use metal hammer directly. 

Figure 6

MOUNT DRILL PRESS

Refer to Figure 7 

•  The machine must be installed in a well-lighted area 

   with correct power supply.

•  The machine can be installed on either a workbench or 

   a tool stand by using bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts. 

•  The machine must be bolted to a firm and level surface.

•  There must be enough clearance for the moving 

   workpiece during operation. There must be enough 

   room for safety operation of the machine.

Figure 7

POWER SOURCE

Do not connect to the power source until the machine is 

completely assembled. 

The machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 Hz alternating 

current. Before connecting the machine to the power 

source, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. 

Running the unit on voltages which are not within range 

may cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads 

require that voltage at motor terminals be no less than the 

voltage specified on nameplate.

•  Power supply to the motor is controlled by a locking 

   rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized 

   use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor 

can result in the risk of electrical shock. 

•  The machine should be grounded while in use to protect 

   operator from electrical shock. 

•  In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding 

   reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an 

   escape wire for the electric current. 

•  This machine is equipped with an approved 

   3-conductor cord rated at 150V and a 3-prong 

   grounding type plug (Figure 8) for your protection 

   against shock hazards. 

•  Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a 

   properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type 

   receptacle, as shown (Figure 8) 

•  The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly 

   installed and grounded in accordance with all local 

   codes and ordinances. 

•  Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if 

   these instructions are not completely understood or if in 

   doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. 

•  Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet, 

   have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 

   Use only 3-wire extension cords, that have 3-prong  

   grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor 

   receptacles that accept the machine's plug, as show in
