Note: All the necessary adjustments for the working of |
|
| 2 |
| |
your drill press have been done at the factory. Please |
|
|
|
| |
do not modify them. However, because of normal wear |
|
|
|
|
|
and tear of your tool, some readjustments might be |
|
|
|
|
|
necessary. |

Spindle return spring (Fig. 22) |
|
|
|
|
|
The spindle is equipped with an |
|
|
|
|
|
The main components are a spring and a notched |
|
|
|
|
|
housing. The spring was properly adjusted at the factory | FIG. 22 |
|
|
|
|
and should not be readjusted unless absolutely |
| 1 |
|
| 4 |
necessary. If it needs to be adjusted, proceed as |
|
|
| ||
follows: |
|
|
| 2 |
|
1. Unplug the drill press. |
|
|
| 5 | |
2. Place a screwdriver into the loop (1) to hold the |
|
|
|
| |
spring in place. | 3 |
|
|
|
|
3. Loosen the two housing nuts (2) approximately 1/4" |
|
|
|
| |
(6 mm). Do not remove the nuts from the threaded |
|
|
|
|
|
shaft. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. While firmly holding the spring housing (3), carefully |
|
|
|
|
|
pull it out until it clears the raised notch (4). Turn it until |
|
|
|
|
|
the next notch (5) is engaged with the raised notch (to |
|
|
|
|
|
increase the tension, turn it counterclockwise; to |
|
|
|
|
|
decrease the tension, turn it clockwise). Tighten the two |
|
|
|
|
|
housing nuts. |
|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT! Do not overtighten the two nuts. If the |
|
|
|
|
|
nuts are tightened too much, the movement of the |
|
|
|
|
|
spindle and feed handles will be sluggish. |
