Warning: Do not change speed without turn on the machine.
Mount the drill press (Fig. 9)
The drill press must be securely fastened through the mounting holes (1)
to a stand or workbench with heavy duty fasteners. This will prevent
the drill press from tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation.

Install the chuck (Fig. 10)
1. Inspect and clean the taper hole in the chuck (1) and the spindle.
Remove all grease, coatings, and particles from the chuck and
spindle surfaces with a clean cloth.
2. Open the chuck jaws by manually turning the chuck barrel
clockwise. Make sure the jaws are completely recessed inside the
chuck.
3. Insert the chuck arbor (2) into the opening at the top of the chuck (1).
4. Seat the chuck and chuck arbor on the spindle by placing a block of wood (not included) under the chuck (1)
and tapping the wood with a hammer (not included) or tap the chuck with a rubber mallet (not included).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the chuck, make sure the jaws are completely recessed into the chuck. Do
not use a metal hammer to drive the chuck into the spindle.
Remove the chuck
1. Turn the feed handles to lower the chuck to the lowest position.
2. Place a ball joint separator above the chuck and tap it lightly with a hammer to cause the chuck to drop from the
spindle.
Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch the chuck as it falls.
