To change drill bits and sanding drums, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!
2. Use the chuck key to open the chuck wide
enough to accept the new bit or the sand-
ing drum mandrel. See Figure 33.
3. Install the bit or mandrel so the chuck jaws
will grab as much of the bit or mandrel
shank as it can.
• If you are installing a small drill bit, make
sure it is held between three jaws instead
of only two, and NEVER allow a chuck to
grab the fluted body of drill bits.
• If you are installing the sanding drum,
install the paper and drum before
installing the spindle into the drill chuck
(contact your local
SHOP FOX
®
dealer
for drums and paper).
4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key,
using any of the three key end locations.
See Figure 34.
5. Choose the insert that has an opening
approximately
1
⁄4" bigger than the sanding
drum chosen. For drilling, always use the
table insert with the smallest opening. A
table insert is not needed when a 2" drum
is used. See Figure 35.
6. Install the chosen table insert into the
pocket in the top of the table.
7. Remove the chuck key and reconnect the
power source.
8. Reverse these steps to remove the drill bit
or sanding drum.
