SQUARING TABLE TO HEAD (FIG. O, P)

NOTE: The table and support has a predrilled hole with a locking pin inserted for locking thetable to a predetermined 0° horizontal position. It must be loosened to change the angle of the table.

I.Insert a 1/4", or larger diameter, precision ground

steel rod (1), approximately 3" long, into the chuck (2). Tighten the chuck jaws.

2.Raise table to working height and lock.

3.Using the combination square (3), place one edge flat on the table, and align the other edge vertically beside the rod (1).

4.(Figure Q) If an adjustment is necessary, TIGHTEN the nut (4) on the locking pin clockwise to RELEASE it from the table support.

5.Loosen the large hex head bevel locking bolt (5).

,

.

To return the table to its original position, loosen the bevel locking bolt (5). Realign the bevel scale (6) to the 0° position.

Return nut (4) on locking pin to the OUTSIDE END OF THREADS. Gently tap locking pin until it is seated in the hole. Finger tighten nut (4).

QU_LL RETURN SPRING (FIG, R)

The quill return spring may need adjustment if the tension causes the quill to return too rapidly or too slowly.

t.Lower the table for additional clearance.

2, Place a screwdriver in the lower front notch (1) of the spring cap (2). Hold it in place while loosening and removing only the outer jam nut (3).

3.With the screwdriver still engaged in the notch, loosen the inner nut (4) just until the notch (5) disengages from the boss (6) on the drill press head.

CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THIS INNER NUT, because the spring will forcibly unwind,

4.Carefully turn the spring cap (2) counterclockwise with the Screwdriver, engaging the next notch.

5.Lower the quill to the lowest position by rotating the feed handle in a counterclockwise direction while

holding the spring cap (2) in position,

6.If the quill moves up and down as easily as you desire, tighten the standard nut (4) with the adjustable wrench. If too loose, repeat steps 2 through 5 to tighten. If too tight, reverse steps 4 and 5.

To avoid injury from an accidental start, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position, the switch key is removed, and the plug is not connected to the power source outlet before making belt adjustments.

BELTTENSiON (FroG.S)

Make sure pulleys are aligned properly as shown in Figure O on page 13.

1.To unlock the belt tension, loosen the belt tension lock knobs (1) on both sides of the drill press head.

2.Move the motor (2) toward the front of the drill press to loosen the belt.

3.Position the belt on the correct pulley steps for the desired speed.

4.Pull the motor away from the drill press head until the belt is properly tensioned.

NOTE: Belt tension is correct if the belt deflects approximately 1/2 inch when pressed at the center.

,Tighten the belt tension lock knobs (1) on both sides of the drill press head.

To prevent injury, be sure to hold the table & table arm assembly, so it wil! not swivel or tilt.

6.Align the square to the rod by rotating the table until the square and rod are in line.
