*Soft tip hammer (not supplied)

* 13mm, 17mm and 29mm socket wrenches (not supplied)

ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE 1-2 hours.

MOUNTING THE MACHINE

1.If your drill press is to be used in one permanent location, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface with fasteners through the four mounting holes, (A) Fig. 16, in the drill press base.

IF YOU DO NOT FASTEN YOUR DRILL PRESS IN A PERMANENT MANNER, THE DRILL PRESS MUST BE FASTENED TO A

PLYWOOD MOUNTING BOARD TO PREVENT THE DRILL PRESS FROM TIPPING OVER DURING NORMAL USE.

USE A GOOD GRADE OF PLYWOOD WITH A MINIMUM 3/4THICKNESS.

DO NOT MAKE THE MOUNTING BOARD FROM PARTICLE BOARD SINCE PARTICLE BOARD CAN BREAK EASILY.

2.Use a playwood board base with the minimum dimensions shown in Fig. 17 for mounting the drill press to a supporting surface.

3.Place the drill base, as shown in Fig. 18, centered on the supporting surface.

WHEN THE DRILL PRESS IS MOUNTED TO THE SUPPORTING BOARD, THE BOARD MUST EXTEND A MINIMUM

OF 3BEYOND EACH EDGE OF THE DRILL PRESS

BASE, AS SHOWN IN FIG. 18.

4.Drill four 3/8″ diameter holes (B) Fig. 17, corresponding to the mounting holes (A) Fig. 16, of the drill press base in a 26″ x 32″ minimum size plywood board.

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, nuts, and washers (C) Fig.17, furnished with your drill press. For stability, the holes for the carriage bolt heads and flat washers must be countersunk so the bolt heads are flush with the bottom surface of the mounting board.
