4.Place the drill press head (F) Fig. 7, onto the column
(A) as far as it will go. Align head to table and base and tighten the two head locking screws (G) with wrench supplied.
5.Thread the three pinion shaft handles (H) Fig. 8, into the three holes located in the pinion shaft (J) as shown.
6.IMPORTANT: The spindle taper (K) Fig. 9, and the tapered hole (L) in the chuck (M) are coated with a clear rust protectant and will require a solvent to remove the coating. These surfaces must be clean to ensure that the chuck will adhere to the spindle and will not come loose during operation. NOTE: Household oven cleaner can effectively remove the rust protectant coating from the spindle and chuck; however, carefully follow the manufacturer’s safety rules concerning its use. Then push the chuck (M) up on the spindle (K) as far as it will go.
7.IMPORTANT: Open the chuck jaws as wide as possible by turning the chuck sleeve (M) Fig. 10.
8.Holding chuck on taper of spindle, tap with a mallet
(N) or a block of wood and hammer to set chuck, as shown in Fig. 10. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the chuck, NEVER drive the chuck onto the spindle with a metal hammer.
