Quill-Shaft Screw

While you may never have to adjust the quill shaft screw, you should understand its function and know how to adjust it should you ever need to remove the quill for cleaning. This screw pre- vents the quill from rotating during drilling and sanding procedures, and if adjusted incorrectly, the quill may have lash or bind.

UNPLUG your machine dur- ing all assembly, adjust- ments, and maintenance procedures. Otherwise serious personal injury may occur!

To adjust the quill-shaft screw, do these steps:

1.Unplug the drill press!

2.Clean and lubricate the quill shaft with a thin coat of light oil, and make sure the quill travels freely (see Figure 28).

3.Loosen the jam nut shown in Figure 29.

4.Turn the quil shaft screw clockwise or coun- terclockwise to establish free, unbinding travel while moving the quill up and down through its entire range of travel.

5.When the quil shaft screw is screwed inward against the quill as far as the screw can go without binding the quill, hold the screw and tighten the jam nut.

6.Recheck for quill binding and looseness

while moving the quill up and down through its entire range of travel and readjust as

required.-17-
