1.To help keep the drill chuck from falling on to the floor, place a piece of scrap wood on top of the table and raise the table until it engages the chuck.
CAUTION: Releasing the spring assembly without proper support of the chuck will allow the quill assem- bly to drop on top of the drill press table.
2.Firmly hold spring housing against head so it remains engaged with the 4mm cap screw. Remove both M12 nuts and M12 washer from the feed handle assembly shaft.
3.Use both hands to firmly grasp the spring assembly. Pull the spring assembly slightly away from the drill press, disengaging the spring housing from the cap screw. While firmly hold- ing the housing, allow the spring assembly to unwind clockwise until the spring tension is relieved.
CAUTION: To prevent injury, be careful not to allow the spring assembly to rapidly unwind.
4.Remove the spring assembly.
5.Slide the feed handle assembly out from the right side of the head.
6.Remove the bushing located on the left of the head assembly as shown. It may be necessary to tap this bushing out from the right side. Reinstall this bushing on the right side of the drill press.
