Operator`s manual
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the plug
from the power source when making any adjustment.
QUILL RETURN SPRING (FIG. V)
The quill return spring may need adjustment if the
tension causes the quill to return too rapidly or too
slowly.
1. Lower the table for additional clearance.
2. Place a screwdriver in the lower front notch (t) of
the spring cap (2). Hold it in place while loosening
and removing only the outer jam nut (3).
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. Carefully turn the spring cap (2) counterclockwise
with the screwdriver, engaging the next notch.
5. Lower the quill to the lowest position by rotating the
feed handle in a counterclockwise direction while
holding the spring cap (2) in position.
6. If the quill moves up and down as easily as you
desire, tighten the standard nut (4) with the
adjustable wrench. If too loose, repeat steps 2
through 5 to tighten. If too tight, reverse steps 4 and
5.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN and restrict quill
movement.
7. Replace the jam nut (3) and tighten against the
standard nut (4) to prevent the standard nut from
reversing.

To avoid injury from an accidental start, ALWAYS
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position, the
switch key is removed, and the plug is not connected
to the power source outlet before making belt
adjustments.
BELT TENSION (FIG. W)
Make sure pulleys are aligned properly as shown in
Figure R.
1. To release the belt tension, turn the belt tension
lock knobs (1) on each side of the drill press head
counterclockwise.
2. Tighten the belts by turning the belt tension handle
(2) counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the belts by turning the belt tension handle
(2) clockwise, Set belts on pulley steps for desired
speed.
4. Lock the belt tension lock knobs (1) by turning
clockwise.
NOTE: Belt tension is correct if the belt deflects
approximately 1/2 inch when pressed at its center.
