Angular play of the spindle (Fig. 23)
Move the spindle to the lowest downward position and
hold in place. With your other hand, try to make it
r
evolve around its axis with a side motion. If there is too
much play proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut (1).
2. Turn the screw (2) clockwise to eliminate the play but
without obstructing the upward and downward motion of
the spindle (a little bit of play is normal).
3. Tighten the lock nut (2).
Install drill bits (Fig. 24)
1. Place the chuck key (1) into the side keyhole of the
chuck (2), meshing the gear teeth (3).
2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise to open the
chuck jaws (4).
3. Insert a drill bit into the chuck far enough to obtain
maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.
4. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before final
tightening of the chuck.
5. Use the chuck key for the final tightening to make
sure the drill bit will not slip while drilling.
To reduce the risk of injury, only use
the chuck key provided with this drill
press or a duplicate of it. This chuck key is self-
ejecting and will “pop” out of the chuck when you let go.
This action is designed to help prevent throwing of the
chuck key from the chuck when power is turned “ON”.
Do not use any other key as a substitute; order a new
one if damaged or lost.
To reduce the risk of injury, make
sure the chuck key is removed from
the chuck before starting any drilling operation.
