ADJUSTMENTS

FIG. 14

TO SQUARE THE TABLE TO THE HEAD

(Fig. 14)

• Insert a 3 in. (7.6 cm) drill bit (A) into the chuck (B) and

tighten.

• Raise and lock the table (C) about 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the

end of the drill bit.

• Place a combination square (D) 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 table bevel lock (E)

with a adjustment wrench.

• Square the table to the bit by tilting the table.

• Tighten the table bevel lock (E) when square.

DRILLING DEPTH (Fig. 15)

• To stop the drill at a specic depth for consistent and

repetitive drilling, loosen the depth tension knob (A) located

on the depth scale hub (B).

• Turn the hub until the pointer (C) is aligned to the desired

depth on the scale.

• Tighten the depth tension knob (A). The chuck will stop

after traveling downward to the distance selected.

FIG. 16

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING (Fig. 16)

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 (A) to hold the spring in

place.

• Loosen the two housing nuts (B) approximately 1/4 in.

(6 mm). Do not remove the nuts from the threaded shaft.

• While rmly holding the spring housing (C), carefully pull

it out until it clears the raised notch (D). Turn it until the

next notch (E) 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.
