Headstock...........................................................1
The headstock must be mounted on the col-
umn/base assembly before the drill press can be
operated. Moving and installing the headstock is
a two-person job.
Headstock
To mount the headstock onto the column:
1. Loosen the two set screws on the right side of
the headstock enough so they are flush with
the inside pocket of the headstock.
2. With the help of an assistant, lift the head-
stock assembly above the column, and gently
slide it down the column as far as it will go.
The headstock is very
heavy. You MUST have
assistance when moving,
lifting or mounting the
headstock on the column
and base assembly.
NOTICE
Do NOT force the headstock onto the col-
umn! If you do, you could damage the head-
stock and the column.
3. Suspend a plum bob from the center of the
headstock spindle so it is over the tape/ruler
as shown in Figure 12.
4. Center the headstock directly over the base
as indicated by the plum bob and ruler.

5. Tighten the two headstock setscrews to the
column, as shown in Figure 13.
