REPLACING THE BELT

WARNING: Disconnect the drill press from the power source before replacing the belt.

1. Open the housing cover. Loosen the belt tension locking knob (Fig. T).

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) pulley. Then remove the belt from the front (spindle) pulley.

3. Replace with a new belt. Install the belt over the pulleys at the desired speed. Pull the motor back to make the

belt taut. Once the desired tension has been achieve, tighten the belt tension locking knob (Fig. T).

WARNING: For your safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power supply before maintaining

or lubricating the drill press.

Vacuum sawdust or metal shavings that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.

Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the

spindle down and oil the quill moderately every three months.

Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.

CAUTION: All servicing of the drill press should be performed by a qualified service technician.
