Initial Lubrication
To prevent spillage, this machine was shipped
from the factory without any oil in it. The head-
stock oil reservoir must be properly filled with oil
before the drill press can be operated for the first
time. Refer to the Lubrication section, beginning
on Page 31, for details on how to check and add
oil.
Arbor/Chuck
Assembly
Damage caused by running the drill press
without oil in the reservoir will not be cov-
ered under warranty.
An arbor is included for the drill chuck that
comes with this machine. The following procedure
describes how to install the arbor in the chuck.
After the arbor is installed in the drill chuck, it
is very difficult to separate the assembly. If you
would like to use a different chuck in the future,
we recommend obtaining a new arbor.
Important: DO NOT install the drill chuck and
arbor assembly into the spindle until AFTER the
test run.
To join drill chuck and arbor:
1.
Use acetone or lacquer thinner to
clean drill
chuck and arbor mating surfaces, especially
the bore.
2.
Retract chuck jaws completely into chuck.
3.
Insert small end of arbor into chuck.
4.
Hold assembly by the arbor and tap chuck
onto a block of wood with medium force, as
illustrated below.
5. Attempt to separate drill chuck and arbor by
hand —if they separate, repeat Steps 3–4.
