QUILL RETURN SPRING

1.Move the stop nuts down to their lowest position and lock in place with wrench to prevent quill drop- ping while tensioning spring,

2.Lower table for additional clearance.

3.Work from left side of Drill Press.

4.Place screwdriver in lower front notch of spring

cap, and hold it in place while loosening and remov- ing jam [outer] nut only.

5.With screwdriver remaining in notch, loosen large standard [inner] nut (approximately 1/8"),until notch

disengages from boss on head. DO NOT REMOVE THIS NUT.

6.Carefully turn screwdriver counter clockwise and engage next notch in boss. DO NOT REMOVE SCREWDRIVER.

7.Tighten standard nut with wrench only enough to engage boss. Do not overtighten as this will restrict quill movement.

8.Move stop nuts to upper most position and check tension while turning feed handles.

9.If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat steps 4-8 moving only ONE notch each time and checking tension after EACH repetition.

10.Proper tension is achieved when quill returns gently to full up position when released from 3/4" depth.

Before turning the switch ON, bring the drill down to the workpiece lining it up with the hole location.
