INSTALLING CHUCK, HEAD ASSEMBLY, AND
FEED HANDLES
See Figures 10 - 11, page 20.
Place the head assembly upside down on a level, flat
surface.
Position chuck on spindle. Chuck should be fully opened
to avoid damaging jaws.
Using a piece of scrap wood to protect the chuck, firmly
tap the chuck into place using a mallet or hammer.
Position the head assembly onto the column with the
chuck positioned over the table.
NOTE: This head assembly is heavy. Get help when
needed.
Slide the head assembly down as far as it will go. Align
the table assembly with the base and then tighten the
two head set screws with the hex key.
Attach the three feed handles by screwing them into the
threaded holes in the hub.
WARNING:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein could result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
MOUNTING THE DRILL PRESS
See Figure 12, page 20.
If the drill press is to be used in a permanent location, secure
it to a workbench or other stable surface.
If the drill press is to be used as a portable tool, fasten it
permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped
to a workbench or other stable surface. The mounting board
should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while drill press
is in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a
3/4 in. thickness is recommended.
Mark holes on surface where drill press is to be mounted
using holes in drill press base as a template for hole pat-
tern.
Drill holes through mounting surface.
ASSEMBLY
Place drill press on mounting surface, aligning holes in
the base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.
Insert bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock
washers and hex nuts (not included).
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to
go through holes in drill press base and material the drill
press is being mounted to. If machine bolts are used,
make sure bolts are long enough to go through holes in
drill press, the material being mounted to, and the lock
washers and hex nuts.
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
workbench.
Once the drill press is securely mounted on a sturdy surface:
Check for vibration when the motor is switched ON.
Adjust and retighten the mounting hardware as necessary.
Check the table assembly to assure smooth movement
up and down the column.
Check to assure that the spindle shaft moves smoothly.
CHECKING/ADJUSTING LASER ALIGNMENT
See Figure 13, page 20.
Check the laser alignment to ensure the intersection of the
laser lines is precisely at the spot where the drill bit meets
the workpiece. If it is not, the laser lines should be adjusted
using the laser adjustment knobs located on opposite sides
of the head assembly.
Mark an "X" on a piece of scrap wood.
Insert a small drill bit into the chuck and align its tip to
the intersection of the lines of the "X".
Secure the board to the table.
Turn on the laser and verify the laser lines align with the
"X" on the workpiece.
If the laser lines do not align, loosen the set screws on
each of the laser housings with a hex key and rotate the
laser adjustment knobs until the lines meet in the center
of the "X". Retighten the set screws to secure.
