MOUNTING
● Drill presses are by their design, quite top-heavy and must be securely
fastened in place.
● Fasten your drill press through the mounting holes in the base to a
stand or work bench with heavy duty bolts, washers, and nuts. This will
prevent it from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation.
WARNING! If the stand or workbench has a tendency to move during
operation, it too must be fastened, securely to the floor.
TABLE
1. Remove the column ring from the top of the column by loosening the set
screw in it.
2. Remove the rack.
3. Insert worm shaft (I, fig 5) through the center hole of the table support
P, fig 5) and out through the crank handle hole as shown at right. The
worm shaft should extend outside the housing about 1" (25 mm).
4. Insert the rack (bb, fig 3) into the vertical groove of the table support.
Make sure worm gear driven by the just-installed worm shaft on the
inside of the table support is engaged by the teeth of the rack.
5. Place the table support at the roughly the center of the rack.
6. Slide this table support and rack assembly down together onto the
column. Insert the bottom edge of the rack so that it rests inside the lip
of the column support.
7. Hold it in this position while you place the column ring bevel-side-down
over the top edge of the rack.
8. Tighten the set screw with a 3 mm Allen wrench, holding the rack in
position.
NOTE: Make sure there is enough clearance to allow the table to rotate
around the column, the collar sitting loosely over rack and square to the
column. Tighten the set screw only enough to keep collar in place, to
avoid column or collar damage.
9. Slide the table support crank handle (G, fig 2 & 3) onto the worm shaft
protruding from the side of the table support. Fasten it with the set
screw, making sure the set screw is aligned with the flat of the shaft and
as close to the table support as possible. Tighten the set screw.
10. Orient the table in the same direction as the base, and tighten the table
support lock handle (B, fig 2 & 3).
HEAD ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The head assembly is heavy and you may require assistance
from a second person.
1. Lift the drill press head assembly (A, fig 2 & 3) carefully and slide the
mounting hole of the drill press head over the top of the column. Be sure
the head is seated properly on the column.
2. Align the direction of the drill press head so that it matches the direction
of the base and the table.
3. Using a 4 mm hex (Allen) key, fasten the head assembly in place by
tightening the head lock set screws (dd, fig 3) in the right side of the
head casting.
4. Screw the three feed handles (M, fig 2 & 3) into the the threaded
holes in the hub. Instead of using the knobs for leverage and possibly
stripping them, use a wrench on the flats at the threaded ends of the
handles to tighten, but take care to fasten them only hand tight.
