M1102/M1103 16-Speed Drill Press

Chuck Guard

The chuck guard must be installed before the chuck is attached to the spindle.

To install the chuck guard, do these steps:

1.

Loosen the Phillips head screw and lock nut on the

 

 

chuck guard clamp.

 

2.

Place the chuck guard over the spindle, and tighten

 

 

the Phillips head screw and lock nut.

 

 

Note: (Optional) To prevent the guard from slipping

 

 

off of the spindle, move the table up until it is just

 

 

below the guard as shown in Figure 11. Or have an

 

 

assistant hold the guard in place while you secure it.

Drill Chuck & Arbor

The drill chuck attaches to the spindle by means of the arbor, shown in Figure 12. Matched tapers on the arbor and the inside of the chuck create a semi-permanent assembly when properly joined. When the drill press is shipped from the factory, a plastic plug is installed in the chuck.

To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to the spindle, do these steps:

1.Use the chuck key to back the jaws out and remove the plastic plug.

2.Use mineral spirits to thoroughly clean the drill chuck, arbor, and spindle sockets and dry all surfaces before assembly. Follow all safety warnings on the container of the mineral spirits. Failure to clean the mating surfaces may cause the tapered fit to loosen during operation, resulting in separation and an unsafe condition.

3.Use the chuck key to adjust the jaws of the drill chuck until they are inside the drill chuck body.
