ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

FEED DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Turn the depth scale ring to the desired depth (Fig. 19 - 1). Lock the

scale ring in place with the depth knob (Fig. 19 - 2). The spindle will

now stop after traveling the selected distance.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 20 & 21)

This drill press has 12 speeds. The speeds can be changed by chang-

ing the belt locations on the motor pulleys as shown in Fig. 21.

To change the locations on the pulleys, open the belt cover. Loosen

the wing screw and the two nuts on the motor support plate (Fig. 20 -

3). Turn the belt tension adjustment handle (Fig. 20 - 2) to loosen the

belt tension. Then change the belt’s location to the desired speed.

QUILL SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The quill return spring may need adjustment if the quill starts re-

turning too slowly or rapidly. Make sure to wear gloves during quill

spindle adjustments to help prevent injuries from sudden and rapid

disengagement of the spring housing.

1. Loosen the screw and nut (Fig. 22 - 1 and 2), making sure that the

spring housing (Fig. 22 - 3) remains engaged with the head casting.

2. While firmly holding the spring housing, pull out the housing and

rotate it (counterclockwise to increase or clockwise to decrease the

spring tension) until the set screw (Fig. 22 - 4) becomes engaged with

the next notch on the spring housing. Turn the nut (Fig. 22 - 2) until

it contacts the spring housing. Tighten the screw (Fig. 22 - 1) against

the nut to hold the housing in place.
