ADJUSTMENTS
n Remove the stop pin screw from the right side of the
drill press and install in the left side of the drill press as
shown. Tighten stop pin screw. See Figure 25.
n Install the feed handle assembly and depth stop ring on
the left side of the drill press. With the chuck at its highest
possible position, turn the depth scale clockwise until it
stops and tighten the depth scale lock. This will prevent
the quill from dropping while installing the spring. See
Figures 25 - 26.
n Install the spring housing on the right side of the drill
press, making sure the two housing screw heads face
outwards. The center tab of the spring must go in the
slot on the feed handle assembly. See Figure 27.
If necessary, use a screwdriver to align and keep spring
centered during installation.
n Replace washer and screw the outer and inner nuts
back on the feed handle assembly as shown in figure
27. Hold the spring assembly in place and loosely
assemble both nuts. See following page for quill return
spring adjustment.
n Remove the depth scale and reposition so numbers are
legible as shown. See Figure 26.
n Remove the depth scale indicator from the right side
of the drill press and reinstall on the left side of the drill
press.
