Instructions / Assembly

Drill press head to column

1. Lift the drill press head assembly (1) carefully and place

the mounting hole of the drill press head onto the top of

the column (3). Make sure the head is seated properly on

the column.

2. Align the direction of the drill press head to the direction

of the base and the table.

3. Tighten the set screws (2) using a wrench.

4. Thread the three feed handle rods (4) into the holes on the

feed hub.

5. Hand tighten.

Note: One or two of the feed handles may be removed if an

unusually-shaped workpiece interferes with handle rotation.

6. Open the pulley cover and install the Belt cover knob (5).

Install the chuck

1. Inspect and clean the taper hole in the chuck and the spindle. Remove

all grease, coatings, and particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces

with a clean cloth.

2. Open the chuck jaws by turning the chuck barrel clockwise by hand.

Make sure the jaws are completely recessed inside the chuck.

3. Seat the chuck on the spindle by placing a block of wood under the

chuck and tapping the wood with a hammer or tap the chuck with a

rubber mallet.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the chuck, make sure the jaws are completely recessed into the chuck.

Do not use a metal hammer directly to drive the chuck into the spindle.

Remove the chuck at a later time

1. Turn the feed handles to lower the chuck (2) to the lowest

position.

2. Place a ball joint separator tool (not included, not shown) above

the chuck (3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause the

chuck to drop from the spindle.

Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch the chuck as it

falls.
