in the rack collar.
2. Tighten the support lock before drilling.
To tilt the table (Fig. 13)
1. Loosen the bevel lock bolt (1) with the table
adjustment wrench provided, or with a suitable
socket wrench.
2. Tilt the table to the desired angle, using the
bevel scale (2) as a basic guide.
3. Re-tighten the bevel lock bolt.
4. To return the table to its original horizontal
position, loosen the bevel lock bolt (1).
5. Realign the table to the 0° setting on the
bevel scale (2).
6. Tighten the bevel lock bolt with the wrench.
To install drill bits (Fig. 14)
1. Place the chuck key (1) into the side keyhole
of the chuck (2), meshing the key with the gear
teeth.
2. Turn the chuck key counter-clockwise to open
the chuck jaws (3).
3. Insert a drill bit (4) into the chuck far enough
to obtain maximum gripping of the chuck jaws.
4. Centre the drill bit in the chuck jaws before
final tightening of the chuck.
5. Tighten the chuck jaws using the chuck key to
ensure that the drill bit will not slip while drilling.
6. Remove the chuck key.
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.
To square the table to the drill bit (Fig. 15)
1. Insert a 3" (7.6 cm) long drill bit (1) into the
chuck (2) and tighten the jaws with the chuck key.
2. Raise the table with the crank handle (3)
approximately 1" (2.5 cm) below the drill bit.
3. Place a combination square (5) on the table
as shown, placing the long straight edge of the
combination square against the drill bit. Make
sure the drill bit is parallel or aligned exactly to the
straight edge of the square.
4. If an adjustment is needed, loosen the bevel
lock bolt (6) with a wrench.
5. Tilt the table slightly, until the combination
straight edge is aligned perfectly with the drill bit.
6. Tighten the bevel lock when square.
Note: Adjustments for the correct function of your
bench drill press return spring have been done at
the factory. Please do not modify them. However,
prolonged use of the drill press may make some
readjustments necessary.
