Before any assembly of the chuck and arbor to the

drill press head, clean all mating surfaces with a non

thinner. Any oil or grease used in the packing of these

parts must be removed otherwise the chuck may come

loose during operation.

arbor (2). Tap gently on the arbor with a hammer or

rubber mallet to ensure a proper seat.

counterclockwise, until the slot (4) appears on the

quill (5).

spindle, making sure the tang (6) (upper narrow end

of the spindle arbor shank) is engaged and locked

in the inner slot (7) of the spindle. This can be seen

through the outer slot (4) of the quill by rotating the

chuck and arbor until the two slots are aligned.

4. Open the jaws of the chuck (1) by rotating the chuck

sleeve clockwise. To prevent damage,
