turned clockwise to increase speed and counterclockwise
to decrease speed. The speed range is 500 rpm to 3100
rpm.

same depth, the stop nut (A) Fig. 25, on the threaded
stop rod (B) is used as follows:

SOURCE.
1. Insert bit into chuck.
2. Lower the chuck (C) Fig. 25, to the depth you wish
the holes to be drilled. Then lock the quill in position by
tightening quill locking lever (E). NOTE: Quill locking
lever (E) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by
pulling out on the handle and repositioning the hub of
the handle on the bolt located underneath the hub.
3. Depress spring-loaded button (F) Fig. 25, and rapidly
move stop nut (A) until bottom of nut (A) contacts stop

locking lever (E), the chuck and quill will return to the up
position by gradually allowing the pinon shaft handles to
rotate to the return position.
4. Place the material to be drilled on the drill press
table. Raise the drill press table until the material to be
drilled just touches the drill bit.
5. Drill a test hole to check the depth and readjust if
necessary by rotating stop nut (A) Fig. 25, for fine ad-
justment. It is not necessary to depress button (F) while
