head assembly to the column, and tighten
the two set screws with a 5mm hex wrench.
See Figure 6.
2. Screw the three downfeed handles (Figure

can be mounted to either side of the head
for your convenience. Tighten the hex nuts
against the hub.

Installing the Fence
Slide the fence assembly into the T-slots on the
table. The fence assembly is secured by
tightening the knobs (A, Figure 8). The fence
can be expanded by loosening the smaller
knobs (B, Figure 8) and sliding the fence halves
outward. Tighten all four knobs on the fence
assembly before operating the drill press.
A dust chute (2” diameter) is mounted to the
fence assembly for attaching a dust collection
system. The fence halves must be in the
expanded position to provide an opening for
dust exhaust.
