ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED
•
3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm hex wrenches
(supplied)
•
10 mm and 14 mm open end wrench, Phillips head
and flat head screwdrivers (not supplied)
ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE
Assembly for this machine takes approximately 30
minutes to 1 hour.
1. If you plan to use your drill press in a permanent
location, you must secure the drill press base to the
supporting surface with fasteners through the three
mounting holes (A) Fig. 1 in the drill press base.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. If you
do not fasten your drill press in a permanent manner,
you must fasten the drill press to a plywood mounting
board to prevent the drill press from tipping over
during normal use.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Use a
good grade of plywood with a minimum 3/4" (19 mm)
thickness. Do not make the mounting board from
particle board since particle board breaks easily.
2. Use a plywood board base with the minimum
dimensions as shown in Fig. 2 for mounting the drill
press base to a supporting surface.
3. Place the drill press base (D) Fig. 3 centered on the
supporting surface (E).
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Make
sure that the plywood extends a minimum of 3" (7.6
cm) on all four sides of the base as shown in Fig. 3.
4. Drill three 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter holes through the
holes (A) Fig. 1 in the drill press base, and in the
supporting surface (E) Fig. 3.
NOTE:
Place a piece of scrap wood underneath the
supporting surface when drilling the through holes so
that the drill bit will not damage the material beneath
the supporting surface.
5. Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board
using the carriage bolts, flat washers, lockwashers,
and hex nuts (C) Fig. 2 furnished with your drill
press. Countersink the holes for the carriage bolt
heads and flat washers under the board so that
the bolt heads are flush with or below the bottom
surface of the board. Use a flat washer, lock washer,
and hex nut above the drill press base.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. You must
secure the plywood base to the floor or supporting
surface if the drill press has any tendency to vibrate,
slide, or walk during normal operation.
6. Attach the column (A) Fig. 4 to the base (B) using
the four M10x40 mm socket head cap screws (C),
three of which are shown using an 8 mm hex wrench
provided.
