Removing The Chuck And Arbor - General International DP2003 Manuel D'instructions Et D'assemblage

9. After use, blow out or vacuum sawdust and metal chips that may have
accumulated in and on the motor, the belt and pulley housing, and the
table.
10. Ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no
further lubrication. The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley
assembly are greased and permanently sealed.
11. Periodically pull down and lubricate the grooves in the spindle and the
teeth of the quill, usually about every three months.
12. Occasionally apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to
help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.
13. Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to
use.
14. Cut off the power supply when not in use.

REMOVING THE CHUCK AND ARBOR

1. Turn "OFF" and disconnect the drill from the power source.
2. Using feed handles, lower the quill assembly to the lowest position.
3. Insert the drift key (o, fig 3) into, and all the way through the quill
assembly.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the chuck by hand in order to be
able to get the tool all the way through.
4. While holding onto the chuck to prevent damage, either tap on the end
of the drift with a hammer or raise the quill assembly sharply using the
feed handles.
5. The arbor and chuck should fall out.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage, be ready to catch the chuck
assembly as it falls.
SPINDLE PLAY
1. Move the spindle to the lowest position and hold it in place with one
hand on a feed handle.
2. With your other hand, try to make it revolve around its axis with a side
motion.
3. If you find there is too much play:
• Loosen the lock nut on the lower left side of the drill press head (k,
fig 12) behind the depth gauge.
• Turn the screw (c. fig 12) clockwise to eliminate play, but not so
much as to restrict the upward and downward motion of the spindle.
A little bit of play is normal.
• Tighten the lock nut.
