ADJUSTMENTS
FIG. 22
CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE
The 30-217 VS Drill Press is equipped with a dual voltage 115/230V motor. To change from the factory preset
115V
operating mode to a 230V circuit, consult the wiring diagram on page 18.
NOTE:
Changing
of the motor wiring or power supply cable should only be done by a qualified electrician.
ADJUSTING THE SPINDLE RETURN SPRING
The Chuck will automatically return upward to its
original starting position when the operating handle is
released. The Return Spring Mechanism, FIG. 22,
has been preset at the factory and should not require
any adjustments. However, should the spring tension
decline and need adjustment, follow these steps;
1. Disconnect the Drill Press from its power source.
2. Loosen the Spring Cover Nuts (FIG. 22, A, #45 on
Parts Diagram B), but DO NOT REMOVE the nuts
from the threaded pin.
3. Carefully pull out the Spring Cover (#46B, Fig.
22, B) slightly, and keep a firm grasp on it - DO
NOT LET THE COVER SPIN as it keeps the spring
from unwinding. Also, DO NOT let the spring end (C)
disengage from its notch in the spring cover!
4. Pull out the cover just enough so that the notch in
the cover clears the nub on the head casting (D).

easy and safe access. Push the top green button (A)
to turn the machine on. Push the lower red paddle
pad (B) to turn the drill press OFF. FIG. 23.
Behind the ON button is a thru hole for locking out
the controls with a padlock that has a long hasp, thus
preventing unauthorized use of the machine.
