Assembly
Tools required for assembly:
Cross-point (Phillips) screwdriver
Rubber mallet
Wrenches – 17, 18 and 24 mm
Set of hex (Allen) wrenches
Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have
been factory-coated with a protectant. Remove
this with a soft rag moistened with kerosene or a
light solvent. Do not use an abrasive pad and do
not use gasoline, paint thinner or acetone, as
these will damage plastic components and
painted surfaces.
The drill press should be placed in a dry area
with a level floor and good lighting. Provide
enough space around the drill press to allow for
operations and any adjustments or servicing.
Assembly is a two person
operation to avoid injury from accidental
dropping.
Column
1. Place the base (Figure 2) upon a level floor.
It may be secured to the floor with lag
screws (not provided) through the four holes
in the base.
2. If you do not wish to permanently secure the
drill press to the floor, it should be bolted to
a plywood panel which will serve as its
base. Use a high grade of plywood at least
3/4" thick. It should be large enough to
prevent vibration, sliding or moving of the
drill press during operation. Do not use a
mobile base with this machine.
3. Attach the column assembly (Figure 2) to
the base with four M10x40 hex cap screws.
Table Bracket
1. Remove the ring from the column by
loosening the set screw and sliding the ring
off. Also remove the rack. See Figure 3.
2. Set the table bracket (attached to the table)
over the column while sliding the rack down
through the slot in the table bracket and
against the column (Figure 3). The lower
end of the rack should rest in the lip of the
holder, as shown in Figure 5. Make sure
the rack is oriented properly; the long flat
section should be toward the top and the
short flat section toward the bottom. (The
arrow inscribed on the rack should point
upward, as shown in Figure 3.)
