Feed Shaft Spring

Tension

The feed shaft return spring is adjusted at the factory; however, during the life of the drill press you may want to adjust the feed shaft return spring so the pressure suits your operating needs.

To adjust the feed shaft spring tension, do these

 

steps:

 

 

 

1.

DISCONNECT THE DRILL PRESS FROM POWER!

 

 

Wear safety glasses when adjusting the

 

 

coil spring. Serious eye injury may occur

 

 

 

 

2.

Wipe off any oil on the spring lock cover so it does

if this warning is ignored!

 

not slip in your fingers when you hold the cover from

 

 

spinning (see Figure 26).

spring-cover lock slot from the locking lug.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: It is important to keep a good grip during this

 

 

step. Letting go of the cover will cause the spring to

 

 

rapidly uncoil.

 

 

 

5.

Rotate the cover counterclockwise to increase spring

 

 

tension, or in the clockwise direction to reduce spring

 

 

tension.

 

 

 

6.

Engage the next available spring-cover lock slot with

 

 

the locking lug and hold the spring lock cover tightly

 

 

against the side of the headstock.
