INSTALLING THE CHUCK (FIG. F, G and H)
Before any assembly of the chuck and arbor to the drill
press head, clean all mating surfaces with a
nonpetroleum based product; such as alcohol or lacquer
thinner. Any oil or grease used in the packing of these
parts must be removed otherwise the chuck may come
loose during operation.
Fig. F
1. (Fig. G) Push the chuck (1) onto the spindle arbor (2).
Tap gently on the arbor with a rubber hammer to
ensure a proper seat.
2. Lower the spindle by turning the feed handles (3)
counterclockwise, until the slot (4) appears on the
quill (5).
3. Push the chuck and spindle arbor up into the spindle,
making sure the tang (6) (upper narrow end of the
spindle arbor shank) is engaged and locked in the
inner slot (7) of the spindle. This can be seen through
the outer slot (4) of the quill by rotating the chuck and
arbor until the two slots are aligned.
4. Open the jaws of the chuck (1) by rotating the chuck
sleeve clockwise. To prevent damage, make sure the
jaws are completely receded into the chuck.
NOTE: Clean the taper with a non-alcohol based cleaner
before inserting it into the arbor.
