1. To change to another one of the five available speeds, open
the belt housing and loosen the belt tension locking knob
found cirled in Fig. I.
2. Pull the motor towards the front of the drill press in order
to move the two spindles closer to one another. This release
in tension should allow you to change the location of the belt
on the belt spindles (Fig. I).
3. Using the speed chart printed on this inside cover of the spindle housing, move the belt to the desired position.
4. Slide the motor back to the rear and lock the belt tension knob once the belt no longer has any slack. Close the
spindle housing.

REPLACING THE BELT
WARNING: Disconnect the drill press from the power source before replacing the belt.
Belt tension and drill press speed is controlled by automatic adjustments made to the diameter of the front spindle
when the drive handle is moved.
1. Open the housing cover. Loosen the belt tension locking knob (Fig I).
2. Remove the belt from the housing cover if it is broken. If it is not broken, but is too stretched to operate
correctly, work the belt off the drive (motor) spindle. Then remove the belt from the front spindle.
3. Replace the belt by putting a new belt over the front spindles at the desired speed. Return the motor back to its
inital position in order to make the belt taut. Once the desired tension has been achieved, tighten the belt tension
locking knob (Fig I).
