ASSEMBLY
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT CONNECT THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE MACHINE IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
1.If your drill press is to be used in a permanent location, the drill press base must be secured to the supporting surface with fasteners through the two mounting holes, (A) Fig. 3, in the drill press base.
IF YOU DO NOT FASTEN YOUR DRILL PRESS IN A PERMANENT MANNER, THE DRILL PRESS MUST BE FASTENED TO A PLYWOOD MOUNTING BOARD TO PREVENT THE DRILL PRESS FROM TIPPING OVER DURING NORMAL USE.
USE A GOOD GRADE OF PLYWOOD WITH A MINIMUM 3/4" THICKNESS. DO NOT MAKE THE MOUNTING BOARD FROM PARTICLE BOARD SINCE PARTICLE BOARD BREAKS EASILY.
2.Use a plywood board base, with the minimum dimensions as shown in Fig. 4 for mounting the drill press base to a supporting surface.
3.Place the drill press base (D) Fig. 5, centered on the supporting surface (E).
MAKE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST 3" ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BASE AS SHOWN IN FIG. 5.
4.Drill two 3/8" diameter holes through the holes (A) Fig. 3 in the drill press base, and in the supporting surface (E) Fig. 5.

PLACE A PIECE OF SCRAP WOOD UNDERNEATH THE SUPPORTING SURFACE WHEN DRILLING THE THROUGH HOLES SO THAT THE DRILL BIT WILL NOT DAMAGE THE MATERIAL BENEATH THE SUPPORTING SURFACE.
5.Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board using the carriage bolts, flat washers, lockwashers, and hex nuts (C) Fig. 4, furnished with your drill press. The holes for the carriage bolt heads must be countersunk so that the bolt heads are flush or below the bottom surface of the mounting board.
THE PLYWOOD BASE MUST BE SECURED TO THE FLOOR OR SUPPORTING SURFACE IF THERE IS ANY TENDENCY OF THE DRILL PRESS TO VIBRATE, SLIDE OR WALK DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
