Unpacking and cleanup
Remove all contents from shipping carton. Inspect
contents for shipping damage; report damage, if
any, to your distributor and shipping agent. Do not
discard carton or packing material until drill press is
assembled and running satisfactorily.
Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have
been factory-coated with a protectant. Remove this
with a soft rag moistened with a light solvent, such
as mineral spirits, or WD-40
®
. Do not use an
abrasive pad, and do not use gasoline, paint
thinner or acetone, as these will damage plastic
components and painted surfaces.
The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with
a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough
space around drill press to allow for operations and
any adjustments or servicing.

Assembly
NOTE:
Use an assistant to help assemble the drill
press.
1. Place base upon a level floor. It may be
secured to floor with lag screws (not provided)
through four holes in the base. Refer to
Figure
1
for hole spacing.
2. If you do not wish permanent attachment to
the floor, the drill press can be bolted to a
plywood panel which will serve as an
expanded base and further stabilize the
machine. Use a high grade of plywood at least
3/4" thick. It should be large enough to prevent
vibration, sliding or moving of drill press during
operation. Do not use a mobile base with this
machine.
3. Attach column assembly to base with four
M10x40 hex cap screws (A, Figure 2). Tighten
firmly.
Figure 2
4. Position rack (B, Figure 3) into the slot in table
bracket (C), meshing the rack teeth with the
worm gear.
5. Hold the rack in the slot, while setting the table
bracket over the column. Then slide table
bracket and rack together down the column.
Figure 3
6. The lower end of the rack should rest in the lip
of the holder, as shown in Figure 2.
