ASSEMBLY

Headstock

The headstock is secured with a set screw so it is aligned with the drill press base for balance and weight distribution. DO NOT over­ tighten the set screw, or you will bend the column or strip the threads.

GET help to lift the head- stock, or you may seri- ously hurt your back or drop the headstock.

To install the headstock assembly, do these steps:

1.Place the locking gib into the recessed pocket on the inside of the column bracket casting (see Figure 14).

2.With an assistant, lift and position the headstock pocket over the column and allow the headstock to slide down until the column fully seats into the headstock

(approximately 2", see Figure 15).

3.Rotate the headstock directly over the foot of the base as viewed from the front of the drill press.

4.Screw in the two lock handles on the sides of the headstock.

5.Using a plumb bob and ruler, center the headstock with the base, and tighten the two set screws to secure the headstock to the column (see Figure 16).
