ASSEMBLY
Head Stock
The headstock repre- sents a heavy load. Seek assistance before begin- ning this step.
1.The bottom of the headstock has a pocket for inserting the column. An assistant will be needed to position the pocket over the column, as in Figure 14. Allow the head- stock to slide down until it stops (approxi- mately 4").
2.Align the headstock directly over the foot of the base by using a plumb bob. Lay a mea- suring tape or ruler across the drill press base and find its center. Suspend the plumb line from the center of the headstock label and lower the bob until it is near the tape/ruler as in Figure 15. Adjust head- stock from side to side until the tip is equidistant from the left and right sides.
