1. If you plan to use your drill press in a permanent

location, you must secure the drill press base to the
supporting surface with fasteners through the three
mounting holes (A) Fig. 1 in the drill press base.

RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. If you

do not fasten your drill press in a permanent manner,
you must fasten the drill press to a plywood mounting
board to prevent the drill press from tipping over
during normal use.

RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Use

a good grade of plywood with a minimum 3/4"
thickness. Do not make the mounting board from
particle board since particle board breaks easily.

2. Use a plywood board base with the minimum

dimensions as shown in Fig. 2 for mounting the drill
press base to a supporting surface.

3. Place the drill press base (D) Fig. 3 centered on the

supporting surface (E).

RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Make

sure that the plywood extends a minimum of 3" on all
four sides of the base as shown in Fig. 5.

4. Drill three 3/8" diameter holes through the holes (A)

Fig. 1 in the drill press base, and in the supporting
surface (E) Fig. 3.

NOTE: Place a piece of scrap wood underneath the
supporting surface when drilling the through holes so
that the drill bit will not damage the material beneath
the supporting surface.

5. Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board

using the carriage bolts, flat washers, lockwashers,
and hex nuts (C) Fig. 2 furnished with your drill
press. Countersink the holes for the carriage bolt
heads and flat washers under the board so that
the bolt heads are flush with or below the bottom
surface of the board. Use a flat washer, lock washer,
and hex nut above the drill press base.
