The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough space around drill press to allow for operations and any adjustments or servicing.
6.4Assembly
NOTE: Use an assistant to help assemble the drill press.
1.Place base upon a level floor. It may be secured to floor with lag screws (not provided) through four holes in the base. Refer to Figure 1 for hole spacing.
2.If you do not wish permanent attachment to the floor, the drill press can be bolted to a plywood panel which will serve as an expanded base and further stabilize the machine. Use a high grade of plywood at least 3/4" thick. It should be large enough to prevent vibration, sliding or moving of drill press during operation. Do not use a mobile base with this machine.
3.Attach column assembly to base with four M10x40 socket head cap screws (A, Figure 3). Tighten firmly.
