 | Mount the drill press (Fig. 11) | FIG. 11 | 1 | 
 | 
 | ||
| Your drill press must be securely fastened through the | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||||
| mounting holes (1) to a stand or work bench with heavy- | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| duty fasteners. This will prevent the drill press | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation. | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| tendency to move during operation, fasten it securely to | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| the floor. | Install the chuck (Fig. 12) |

 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | the spindle (2). Remove all grease, coatings, and | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||
| 
 | particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces with a | FIG. 12 | 
 |

| 2. Open the chuck jaws (3) by turning the chuck barrel | 
 | 
 | |||||
| 
 | clockwise by hand. Make sure the jaws are | 
 | 
 | 3 | 
 | ||
| 
 | completely recessed inside the chuck. | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 3. Seat the chuck on the spindle by placing a block of | 
 | 
 | 
 | 4 | |||
| 
 | wood (4) | under the chuck (1) and tapping the wood | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||
| 
 | with a hammer (5) or tap the chuck with a rubber | 
 | 
 | 5 | 
 | ||
| ! | mallet. | 
 | To avoid damaging the chuck, make | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| CAUTION | sure the jaws are completely recessed | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||
| into the chuck. Do not use a metal hammer directly | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| to drive the chuck into the spindle. | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | Remove the chuck (Fig. 13) | FIG. 13 |

| 1. Turn the feed handles (1) to lower the chuck (2) to the | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | lowest position. |

 | 
 | ||
| 2. Place a ball joint separator (not shown) above the | 
 | 3 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | chuck (3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause | 4 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | the chuck to drop from the spindle. | 
 | 5 | 
 | |||
| Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch | 
 | 2 | 
 | ||||
| the chuck as it falls. |
