ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
DRILL PRESS HEAD TO COLUMN
See Fig. 6
1. Carefully lift the drill press head assembly and position it
over the column (Fig. 6).
2. Place the mounting opening on the drill press head over
the top of the column. Make sure the drill press head is
seated properly on the column.
3. Align the direction of the drill press head with the direc-
tion of the base and the table.
4. Tighten the set screw using a hex wrench (Fig. 7).
MOUNTING THE DRILL PRESS
See Fig. 8
The drill press must be securely fastened through the
mounting holes to a stand or workbench with heavy-duty
fasteners (fasteners and mounting hardware not included).
This will prevent the drill press from tipping over, sliding, or
walking during operation.
IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a tendency to
move during operation, fasten the workbench securely to
the floor.

WARNING: Before any assembly of the chuck to
the drill press spindle, clean all mating surfaces with
a non-petroleum based product; such as acetone or
lacquer thinner. Any oil or grease used in the packing
of these parts must be removed; otherwise the chuck
may come loose during operation.
1. Unplug your drill press before you begin installing the chuck. Lower the drill press table and place a
cloth on it to protect the chuck if it is dropped.
2. Wipe the chuck and spindle with a clean rag. Do not use solvents yet, these will be used when you are
ready to set it into place.
