ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE TABLE
1.
TO RAISE OR LOWER THE TABLE
along the
column, the Locking Handle (#12, on Parts Diagram
A) must be loosened. FIG. 13, A.
2. Use the Crank Handle (#6A, B) to raise or lower
the work table to the height that you need.
NOTE:
Always
raise
the table to your final height so
that the gears mesh together best to prevent slippage.
3. When the table is at the proper height, tighten the
Locking Handle to secure the table in position.
4.
TO ROTATE THE TABLE
left or right, loosen the
Locking Handle (#18A) that is positioned directly
below the table. FIG. 14, C.
NOTE:
If needed for special drilling or project
clamping applications, the whole table assembly can
be swiveled 360° around the column. Loosen the Set
Screw (#11A) on the Collar Rack (#10A), Locking
Lever (#12A) and carefully rotate the table assembly
with the rack around the column to the location you
need. Then re-tighten the set screws and lever to
secure the parts in the new position on the column.
5.
TO TILT THE TABLE
on an angle, the table and
support arm assembly move together. Loosen the
large M16x35 Bolt (#19A) with the 24mm wrench
provided. FIG. 15 & 16.
6. The table and support arm can be tilted left or right.
An Angle Scale (#15A) is provided on the casting to
indicate the degree of tilt of the table. FIG. 15.
When the desired table tilting angle is found, the large
bolt needs to be tightened.
7. To return the table to the level position, 90° to
the spindle, loosen the large bolt secured in step 5.
Rotate the table assembly until the angle scale curser
lines up with the 0° mark. Then re-tighten the large
bolt on the support arm.
8.
TO SET THE TABLE TO HORIZONTAL, or 90° to
the Quill, use a mechanic’s square. Set the square on
the table and position it against a twist drill bit that is
held in the chuck. Adjust the table angle as needed to
set it at the horizontal 90° position.
NOTE:
The hex screw (#11A) that is located below
the large bolt can also be used to slightly tilt the table
level towards the column, if necessary, to adjust the
table horizontal in this direction.
