6.3 Unpacking and cleanup
Remove all contents from shipping carton. Inspect
contents for shipping damage – if any damage,
report it to your distributor and shipping agent. Do
not discard carton or packing material until drill
press is assembled and running satisfactorily.
If any parts are missing, contact your distributor or
Powermatic. (Check machine first to see if any
parts were pre-assembled.)
Exposed metal surfaces on the drill press have
been factory-coated with a protecta nt. Remove this
with a soft rag m oistened with a light sol vent, such
as mineral spirits, or WD-40®. Do not use an
abrasive pad, and do not use gasoline, paint
thinner or acetone, as these will damage plastic
components and painted surfaces.
The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with
a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough
space around dri ll press to allow for operations and
any adjustments or servicing.
6.4 Assembly
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)
t hro ug h f o ur ho le s i n the ba se . Re f er t o Figure
1 for hole s pac ing.
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
mac hine. Use a high grade of plywood at least
3/4" thick. It should be large enough to prevent
vibratio n, sliding or moving of drill pre ss during
operation. Do not use a mobile base with this
machine.
3. Attach column assembly to base with four
M10 x40 socket head cap screws (A, Figure 3).
Tighten fi rmly.
