ASSEMBLY
NEVER HIT THE CHUCK
WITH A METAL HAMMER. This could damage
the chuck assembly, arbor or drill press
spindle.
Figure 8
INSTALLING THE CHUCK
1. Carefully insert the arbor’s short, JT3 tapered
end into the rear tapered hole of the chuck.
(Figure 8).
2. Next, take the chuck and insert the long,
MT2
tapered end of the arbor into the drill press
spindle’s tapered hole. Make sure to align the
flat part of the arbor with the slot in the spindle.
(Figure 9).
3. Open the jaws of the chuck until the 3 jaws
are completely hidden inside of the chuck body.
4. Using a rubber mallet, or hammer with a block
of wood protecting the chuck, tap the chuck
with its arbor into the drill press spindle.
This
will securely seat the chuck in place for drilling.
(Figure 10).
REMOVING THE CHUCK
1. Open the chuck jaws as wide as possible to
prevent damage in the following steps.
2. Lower the spindle until the slot in the spindle
is exposed and lock it in place. (Figure 11). See
page 13 for instructions on locking the spindle.
3. Turn the chuck until the slots in the spindle
(#11B)and Quill (#6B) align, and a through-hole is
exposed.
4. Insert the Key-Drift (#10B), into the slots and
hole above the chuck arbor, with the drift’s flat
side up. (Figure 11).
5. Gently tap the key-drift with a mallet to release
the chuck.
NOTE:
Be prepared to catch the
chuck as it is released to prevent any damage to
it or the arbor.
