ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Remove the chuck at a later time (Fig. 8)
1. Turn the feed handles to lower the chuck (2) to the lowest
position.
2. Place a ball joint separator tool (not included, not shown) above
the chuck (3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause the
chuck to drop from the spindle.
Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch the chuck as
it falls.
Install the belt
(Fig. 9)
1. Open the pulley and belt cover (1).
2. Loosen the belt tension lock knob (2).
3. Slide the motor (3) as close to the drill press
head as possible.
4. Place a belt (4) on the motor pulley (5) and
the spindle pulley (6) in the proper position
for the desired speed (see Fig. 10).
5. Pull the motor away from the drill press head
until the belt is properly tensioned. Tighten
the belt tension lock knobs.
Note: The belt (4) should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Correct tension is set if the belt flexes
about 1/2" (13 mm) when thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of the belt between the pulleys.
