Installing the Drill Chuck

1.Clean the tapered surfaces on the chuck and spindle with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no foreign parti- cles sticking to these surfaces. The slightest piece of dirt on these surfaces will prevent the arbor from seating properly. This will cause the drill to “wobble”.

2.Slide chuck into spindle of drill press.

3.Push up on chuck assembly as you rotate it.
