WARNING!
For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the
plug from the power source before making any adjustements. To avoid
injury from thrown parts due to the spring release, follow instructions
carefully and wear safety glasses.
QUILL RETURN SPRING (FIG.13)
1. Move the stop nuts down to their lowest position and lock in place with
a wrench to prevent the quill from dropping while you are tensioning
the spring.
2. Lower the table for additional clearance.
3. Work from the left side of the drill press.
4. Place screwdriver in the lower front notch of the spring cap and hold it
in place while loosening and removing jam(outer) nut only.
5. With the screwdriver remaining in the notch, loosen the large standard
(inner) nut until the notch disengages the boss on the head.
6. Carefully turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise and engage the next
notch in the boss. DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWDRIVER.
7. Tighten the the standard nut with the wrench but only enough to engage
the boss. Do not overtighten as this will restrict the quill movement.
8. Move the stop nuts to the upper most position and check the tension
while you turn the feed handles.
9. If there is not enough tension on the spring, repeat steps 4-8 moving one
notch each time and checking the tension after each repetition.
10. Proper tension is acheived when the quill returns gently to the full up
position when it is released from 3/4” depth.
11. When there is not enough tension after checking, replace the jam nut
and tighten the standard nut, but do not overtighten against the
standard nut.
12. Check the quill while feeding to have a smooth and unrestricted
movement. If the movement is too tight, loosen the jam nut and
slightly loosen the standard nut until it is unrestricted. Retighten the jam
nut.
REMOVING THE CHUCK (FIG.14)
1. Open the jaws of the chuck as wide as they will go by turning the chuck
sleeve.
2. Carefully tap the chuck with a mallet in one hand while holding the
chuck in the other hand to prevent the chuck from dropping when it is
released from the spindle nose.
ADJUSTING THE TABLE SQUARE TO THE HEAD (FIG.15)
1. Insert a precision round steel rod approximately 3” long into the chuck
and tighten.
2. With the table raised to working height and locked into position, place a
combination square flat on the table beside the rod.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the table bevel lock bolt with an
adjustable wrench. This adjustment is located under the table.
4. Align the table square to the rod by tilting the table.
5. Retighten the table bevel lock bolt.
