Spindle speeds
This drill press offers 5 spindle speeds from 760 to 3070 RPM. The highest speed is obtained when the
belt is positioned on the largest motor pulley step and the smallest spindle pulley stop.
WARNING: Disconnect the drill press from the power source before making any speed adjustments.
Adjust speeds and tension the belt
1. Open the drill press pulley cover.
2. Loosen the belt tension knob (1).
3. Pull the motor (2) toward the drill press head.
4. Set the belt on the desired steps of the motor and spindle pulleys
according to the belt positions on the spindle speed chart.
5. Pull the motor away from the drill press head to increase the belt
tension. Tighten the tension knobs (1).
6. The belt should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Correct
tension is set if the deflection distance about 1/2" (13 mm) when
thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of the belt between the
pulleys.
Tilt the table
The table can be tilted from 0 to 45° to the left and right.
1. Loosen the bevel lock bolt (1) with a wrench.
2. Tilt the table (2) to the desired angle, using the bevel scale (3) as a
basic guide.
3. Re-tighten the bevel lock bolt (1).
4. To return the table to its original position, loosen the bevel lock bolt. Realign the bevel scale (3) to the
0° setting.
