Woodstock 17" Drill Press W1680 - Manual (Page 21)

-20-
Care must be taken to secure the bit firmly in
place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Open the chuck wide enough to accept a
new bit.
3. Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as
much of the bit shank as it can. Figure 32.
Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted
body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill
bits do not get trapped between the edges
of two jaws.
4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using
any of the three key end locations. Figure
33.
5. Remove the chuck key and reconnect the
power source.
6. Reverse steps to remove the drill bit.

Wait until the machine is
turned off, unplugged
and all working parts
have come to a complete
stop before proceeding!
