4. Place the drill press head (F) Fig. 6, onto the column
(A) as far as it will go. Align head to table and base and
tighten the two head locking screws (G) with wrench
supplied.
5. Thread the three pinion shaft handles (H) Fig. 7, into
the three holes located in the pinion shaft (J) as shown.
6. IMPORTANT: The spindle taper (K) Fig. 8, and the
tapered hole (L) in the chuck (M) are coated with a clear
rust protectant and will require a solvent to remove the
coating. These surfaces must be clean to ensure that the
chuck will adhere to the spindle and will not come loose
during operation. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can
effectively remove the rust protectant coating from the
spindle and chuck; however, carefully follow the
manufacturer’s safety rules concerning its use. Then
push the chuck (M) up on the spindle (K) as far as it will
go.
7. IMPORTANT: Open the chuck jaws as wide as
possible by turning the chuck sleeve (M) Fig. 9.
8. Holding chuck on taper of spindle, tap with a mallet
(N) or a block of wood and hammer to set chuck, as
shown in Fig. 9. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
chuck, NEVER drive the chuck onto the spindle with a
metal hammer.
9. Your drill press is shipped with the belt installed;
however, the belt must be properly tensioned before
