1.Make sure the locking gib is in the recessed pocket on the inside edge of the headstock opening. See Figure 8.
2.With the help of an assistant, lift the headstock over the top end of the column. When the underside of the headstock is lined up with the column, slide the headstock onto the column until it stops (approximately 2").
3.Screw two lock handles into each side of the headstock bracket. See Figure 8.
The headstock repre- sents a heavy load. Seek assistance before begin- ning this step.
Locking gib is located inside
the headstock in this location.

Handles
Three handles are supplied with the drill press. Thread them into the handle hub.
The drill chuck is attached to the drill spindle by means of a machined taper between the chuck and spindle nose. An almost permanent assem- bly is created when properly joined. To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to the spindle, care- fully follow the instructions below:
1.The drill chuck and spindle must be thor- oughly cleaned and dried before assembly. It is recommended that mineral spirits be used for this task. Refer to the safety warnings on the container of the mineral spirits. Failure to clean the mating surfaces may result in separation, and an unsafe condition. Separation is usually a result of oil or grease on the taper.
2.Use the chuck key provided to adjust the jaws of the chuck until they are well inside the drill chuck body.
3.Slide the chuck onto the spindle end and tap the end of the drill chuck with a rubber or wooden mallet to seat it. See Figure 9.
DO NOT use a steel hammer on the drill chuck to seat it onto the spindle. Damage will occur to the chuck and/or spindle which may make them unusable or unsafe.

retracted jaws.)
