Mounting of drill stand
1. Secure the base plate to the floor or wall with an expanding anchor and minimum 12
mm (1/2”) bolt. Be observant on what material the base plate will be mounted on. For
safety, it is important that the base plate be properly secured. If mounted on brick or
light concrete we recommend securing the base plate with through bolts.
2. When drilling with large drill bits we recommend using two anchors of M16 size to
fasten the base plate.
3. Fit the column on the base plate (see fig. 2).
4. Pull out the support legs (see fig. 2) and check with the level to see that the column
stands vertical and steady. If not, adjust with the screws on the support legs until the
column stands correctly.
5. To mount the column on the base plate, or a pivoting head, or to join two columns, an
eccentric bolt is inserted in the hole in the column, and tightened clockwise with an ½”
knuckle bar or ratchet.
Important!
The base plate must be securely fastened to perform safe drilling.
Important!
Never hit the column into position with a hammer or the like.
Important!
Be careful to clean the mounting hole for the base plate with water or air before fitting
an expander bolt.
