warning is ignored!

To adjust the feed shaft spring tension, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2.Wipe off any oil on the spring lock cover so it will not slip in your fingers when you hold the cover from spinning (see Figure 24).

3.Rotate the oscillator pulley so the depth stop reads “0” and the quill shaft is completely seated, as shown in Figure 25.

4.Put on thick leather gloves and hold the spring cover against the side of the head- stock, so the cover stays splined with the locking lug, and remove the jam nut to loosen the cover nut approximately 1⁄4" (6.4mm).

5.Pull the cover outward just enough to dis- engage the spring-cover lock slot from the locking lug (see Figure 26).

6.Rotate the cover counterclockwise to increase spring tension, or let the cover slowly unwind in the clockwise direction to reduce spring tension (see Figure 26).
