ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE IDLER PULLEY
See Figures 7 and 8.
■ Place idler pulley in the center hole in the head assembly.
Fit one belt over the spindle pulley and the idler pulley
and the other belt over the motor pulley and the idler pulley.
Tighten the belt tension lever and the two belt tension
screws.
See Figure 7.
■ Fit the spindle into the spindle shaft turning it to the right
until it slips into place. See Figure 8.
■ To install the chuck raise the table using the table
adjustment handle. Place the chuck on the table and lower
the spindle shaft. Once the spindle shaft is lowered and
aligned with the chuck, swiftly turn the feed handles
counterclockwise to attach the chuck to the spindle.
MOUNTING DRILL PRESS TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 9.
If your drill press is to be used in a permanent location, secure
it to a workbench or other stable surface. When mounting
the drill press to a workbench, holes should be drilled through
the supporting surface of the workbench.
■ Mark holes on workbench where drill press is to be
mounted using holes in drill press base as a template for
hole pattern.
■ Drill holes through workbench.
■ Place drill press on workbench aligning holes in the base
with holes drilled in the workbench.
■ Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock
washers and hex nuts (not included).
Note: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the
lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
workbench.
CLAMPING DRILL PRESS TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 10.
If your drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten it
permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped
to a workbench or other stable surface. The mounting board
should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while drill press is
in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in.
(19 mm) thickness is recommended.
■ Mark holes on board where drill press is to be mounted
using holes in drill press base as a template for hole
pattern.
■ Follow last three steps in section Mounting Drill Press to
Workbench.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go
through holes in drill press base and material the drill press
is being mounted to. If machine bolts are used, make sure
bolts are long enough to go through holes in drill press, the
material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex
nuts.
Once the drill press is securely mounted on a stable surface,
check for the following:
■ Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON. Adjust
and retighten the mounting hardware as necessary.
■ Check the table assembly to assure smooth movement
up and down the column.
■ Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly.
