ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE IDLER PULLEY
See Figures 7 and 8.
■Place idler pulley in the center hole in the head assembly. Fit one belt over the spindle pulley and the idler pulley and the other belt over the motor pulley and the idler pulley. Tighten the belt tension lever and the two belt tension screws. See Figure 7.
■Fit the spindle into the spindle shaft turning it to the right until it slips into place. See Figure 8.
■To install the chuck raise the table using the table adjustment handle. Place the chuck on the table and lower the spindle shaft. Once the spindle shaft is lowered and aligned with the chuck, swiftly turn the feed handles counterclockwise to attach the chuck to the spindle.
MOUNTING DRILL PRESS TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 9.
If your drill press is to be used in a permanent location, secure it to a workbench or other stable surface. When mounting the drill press to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench.
■Mark holes on workbench where drill press is to be mounted using holes in drill press base as a template for hole pattern.
■Drill holes through workbench.
■Place drill press on workbench aligning holes in the base with holes drilled in the workbench.
■Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
Note: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the workbench.
CLAMPING DRILL PRESS TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 10.
If your drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while drill press is in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in. (19 mm) thickness is recommended.
■Mark holes on board where drill press is to be mounted using holes in drill press base as a template for hole pattern.
■Follow last three steps in section Mounting Drill Press to Workbench.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go through holes in drill press base and material the drill press is being mounted to. If machine bolts are used, make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in drill press, the material being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts.

Once the drill press is securely mounted on a stable surface, check for the following:
■Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON. Adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as necessary.
■Check the table assembly to assure smooth movement up and down the column.
■Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly.
