Assembly and adjustments (continued)
Install the belt
(Fig. 8)
1. Open the pulley and belt cover (1).
2. Loosen the belt tension lock knob (2) and bolts on both sides of the drill press.
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. 9).
5. Pull the motor away from the drill press head until the belt is properly tensioned. Tighten the
belt tension lock knobs (2).
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.
Adjustments
Spindle speeds (Fig. 9)
This drill press offers 5 spindle speeds from 620 to 3100 RPM. The highest speed is obtained when
the belt is positioned on the largest motor pulley step and the smallest spindle pulley stop.
