4.Start spindle rotation, unlock the quill, then turn the quill handwheel clockwise to feed the bit into the workpiece.
To remove the drill chuck or drill shank, put on heavy gloves or use a shop rag to catch the tool, then rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise until the tool is forced out of the quill.

NOTICE
Running the coolant pump without ade- quate coolant in the coolant reservoir may permanently damage the coolant system on your lathe. This action is considered abuse and is not covered by the warrant.
Always use high quality coolant in your coolant system and follow the manufacturer's instruc- tions for diluting. Check the coolant regularly and promptly change it when it becomes overly dirty or rancid (see the Checking/Cleaning Coolant System subsection on Page 54 for detailed instructions.
To use the coolant system on your lathe:
1.Make sure the coolant reservoir is properly serviced and fill with coolant.
2.Correctly position the coolant nozzle for your operation.
3.Use the control panel coolant pump switch to turn the coolant pump ON.
4.Adjust the flow of coolant by using the valve lever near the base of the nozzle hose.
