NOTE:
Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the spindle and feed
handles will be sluggish.

table is at the desired height.
•
Tighten the table lock handle (1) before drilling.
•
Rotate the table around the column by loosening the
column lock handle (1) and turning the table around the
column to the desired position.
•
Tighten the lock handle before drilling.
TO TILT THE TABLE (Fig. 17)
The table can be tilted from 0 - 45° to the left and right.
•
Loosen the bevel lock bolt (1) with a wrench.
•
Tilt the table (2) to the desired angle, using the bevel
scale (3) as a basic guide.
•
Re-tighten the bevel lock bolt (1).
•
To return the table to its original position, loosen the
bevel lock bolt. Realign the bevel scale (3) to the 0°
setting.
•
Tighten the bevel lock bolt (1) with the wrench.
TO SQUARE THE TABLE TO THE HEAD (Fig. 18)
•
Insert a 3" (7.6 cm) drill bit (1) into the chuck (2) and
tighten.
•
Raise and lock the table (3) about 1" (2.5 cm) from
the end of the drill bit.
•
Place a combination square (4) on the table as shown.
The drill bit should be parallel to the straight edge of the
square.
•
If an adjustment is needed, loosen the bevel lock (5)
with a wrench.
•
Square the table to the bit by tilting the table.
•
Tighten the bevel lock bolt (5) when square.
DRILLING DEPTH (Fig. 19)
•
To stop the drill at a specific depth for consistent and
repetitive drilling, loosen the depth scale lock (1)
located on the depth scale hub (2).
•
Turn the hub until the pointer (3) is aligned to the
desired depth on the scale.
•
Tighten the depth scale lock (1). The chuck will stop
after traveling downward to the distance selected.
SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (Fig. 20)
The spindle is equipped with an auto-return mechanism.
The main components are a spring and a notched housing.
The spring was properly adjusted at the factory and should
not be readjusted unless absolutely necessary. If it needs
to be adjusted, proceed as follows:
•
Unplug the drill press.
•
Place a screwdriver into the loop (1) to hold the spring
in place.
•
Loosen the two housing nuts (2) approximately 1/4"
(6 mm). Do not remove the nuts from the threaded
shaft.
•
While firmly holding the spring housing (3), carefully
pull it out until it clears the raised notch (4). Turn it
until the next notch (5) is engaged with the raised
notch (to increase the tension, turn it counter-clockwise;
to decrease the tension, turn it clockwise). Tighten the
two housing nuts.
