Feed Shaft Spring

Tension

The­ feed shaft return spring is adjusted at the fac- tory; however, during the life of the drill press you may want to adjust the feed shaft return spring to a greater tension for a stronger quill return.

WEAR safety goggles and gloves when adjusting the feed shaft spring. Serious injury may occur if this 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 when you hold the cover from spinning (see Figure 22).

3.Make sure the quill is completely seated and the depth stop reads zero.

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; remove the jam nut and loosen the cover nut approximately 14" (6.4mm).

5.Pull the cover outward just enough to dis- engage the spring-cover lock slot from the locking lug (see Figure 23).

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 23).
