HEAD ASSEMBLY
1. Carefully lift and place the drill press head onto the
top of the column. It should slip down until the column
stops against the inside end of the head casting hole.
Swivel the drill press head until it is in line with the base
and table, with the control panel facing forward. FIG. 5.
2. Secure the drill press head to the column by tight-
ening t
he two set screws (#3) on th
e right side of the
head. FIG. 6, A.
3.
If not pre-installed at the factory, i
nstall the small,
pulley cover Knob (#109) onto the right side of the
top lid. Open the belt cover and insert the machine
Bolt (#108) through the hole in the lid from the inside.
Place the knob on the bolt, outside of the belt cover,
and fasten it in place with Nut (#110). Secure the
cover in place by rotating the knob. FIG. 6, B.
4. Install the three feed Handles (#58) into the pre-
threaded holes in the Handle Seat (#86). Use the
8mm end of the Special Wrench (#131) to secure the
handles in place. FIG. 7.
NOTE: Figures 6 & 7 also show the motor Lock
Knobs (#67, C), Tension Lever (#89, D) and the
motor Mount Assembly (E) that are referenced in the
section on Changing Drill Speeds on page 14.

The machine MUST be running
to change the speeds of the drill press.
In cold temperatures when work is done, stop
the machine at the LOW SPEED setting, so
when next used, the Drill Press will start in
Low Speed. Then it can be adjusted to the RPM
speed you desire. This process will help the
motor start more efficiently in the cold, by put
-
ting less strain on the electrical components.
IMPORTANT!
