WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the plug from the
power source when making any adjustment.
2. Feed Depth Adjustment
The depth gauge is located on the feed handle hub. Use the depth
gauge to accurately and consistently set the required drilling depth.
Loosen the depth stop fixing screw, set the depth stop as required and
subsequently re-tighten the fixing screw.
3. Speed Adjustment
This drill press has 12 speeds shown in the speed label located on the un-
derside of the head assembly lid. To change the speed, loosen the belt
tension lock knob on each side of the head. Then use the adjustment lever
to draw the motor mounting plate toward the front end of the drill head.
Next, change the belt locations on the pulleys.
Tighten the belts by pushing the adjustment lever towards the rear of the
drill head and locking the belt tension knobs. See Fig.13 and Fig.13A
4. Spindle Spring Adjustment
The spindle return spring may need adjustment if the tension causes the
spindle to return too rapidly or too slowly.
4.1 Lower the table for additional clearance.
4.2 Place a screwdriver in the lower front notch (1) of the spring cap (2).
Hold it in place while loosening and removing only the outer lock nut (3).
4.3 With the screwdriver still engaged in the notch loosen the inner
nut (4) just until the notch (5) disengages from the boss (6) on the drill
press head.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THIS INNER NUT, because the spring will
forcibly unwind.
4.4 Carefully turn the spring cap (2) counterclockwise with the screwdriver,
engaging the next notch.
4.5 Lower the spindle to the lowest position by rotating the feed handle in a
counterclockwise direction while holding the spring cap (2) in position.
4.6 If the spindle moves up and down as easily as you desire, tighten the
inner nut (4) with the adjustable wrench. If too loose, repeat steps 2
through 4 to tighten. If too tight, reverse steps 3 and 4. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN and restrict spindle movement.
4.7 Replace the lock nut (3) and tighten against the inner nut (4) to prevent
the inner nut from reversing. See Fig.14 and Fig. 14A
5. SPINDLE
Rotate the feed handles counterclockwise to lower spindle to its lowest
position. Grasp the spindle and attempt to move it back and forth. If there is
play, do the following:
5.1 Loosen the spring cap lock nut (1).
5.2 Turn the screw (2) clockwise to eliminate the play, but without
obstructing the upward movement of the spindle.
5.3 Tighten the lock nut (1). See Fig. 15
