The headstock must be mounted on the column/base
assembly before the drill press can be operated. Moving
and installing the headstock is a two-person job, at the
very least. Although the headstock can be lifted directly
onto the column while upright, doing so is difficult and
potentially dangerous because of the heavy weight
involved. We recommend sliding the column into the
headstock, then tilting the entire assembly fully upright,
as described and shown in this section.
