adjustment (Fig . 13)
1. Lift the pulley cover knob to open the pulley
housing cover.
2. Loosen the tension lock knob on the
right side of the drill press by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Pull the motor as close to the drill press head
as possible.
4. Place a belt on the motor pulley and the
spindle pulley in the proper position for the
desired speed (Fig. 14).
5. Pull the motor away from the drill press head until the belt is properly tensioned. Tighten the
belt tension lock knob.
Note: The belt should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Correct tension is set if the belt
flexes about 1/2” (13 mm) when thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of the belt between
the pulleys.
6. Close the pulley housing cover.
WARNING
Never operate drill press with pulley housing cover open.
Spindle speeds (Fig . 14)
This drill press offers 5 spindle speeds from 610 to 2800 RPM. The highest speed is obtained
when the belt is positioned on the largest motor pulley step and the smallest spindle pulley
step. The spindle speed chart is provided inside the pulley housing cover.
