OPERATIONS
DO NOT investigate prob- lems or adjust the drill press while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!
Drill Bit Changes
Care must be taken to secure the bit firmly in place. When changing bits, proceed as follows:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.Open the chuck wide enough to accept a new bit.
3.Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as much of the bit shank as it can. Figure 32. Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill bits do not get trapped between the edges of two jaws.
4.Tighten the chuck with the chuck key using any of the three key end locations. Figure 33.
5.Remove the chuck key and reconnect the power source.
6.Reverse steps to remove the drill bit.
