| 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) |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

1. Inspect and clean the taper hole in the chuck (1) and |
|
|
|
| |||

|
|
|
| ||
| particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces with a | FIG. 12 |
|
|
| ||
| clean cloth. |

| 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. |
