3. Tighten column locking handle (A).
8.1.3 Tilt table
Referring to Figures 16 and 17:
1. To tilt table, slightly loosen bolt (D) and loosen
handle (E).
Figure 16
2. Pivot table to desired angle by aligning scale
on table to line on indicator plate (Figure 17).
3. Re-tighten bolt (D) and handle (E).
4. When returning table to horizontal position,
loosen handle (E) and bolt (D), tilt table back
to zero degrees on scale, and tighten handle
(E), then tighten bolt (D).

8.2 Chuck and arbor removal
Referring to Figure 18:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Lower quill assembly with the downfeed
handles to expose slot. Rotate chuck to align
slots.
3. Insert drift key into slot.
4. Tap drift key into slot until chuck and arbor fall

8.3 Changing spindle speeds
Change speeds only while drill
press is running.
With the drill press running, rotate handwheel
(shown in Figure 9) until desired speed is displayed
on LED readout at front of head. Speed range is
250 to 3000 RPM.
8.4 Depth stop
The depth stop is useful for repetitive drilling of
holes of identical depth.
Referring to Figure 19:
1. Measure distance from tip of drill bit to
workpiece. Add to this the desired depth of
hole in workpiece.
2. Position top nut (F
1
) so that its bottom edge
aligns with this measurement on the scale.
Note: For quick positioning, press button on
nut and slide into position; for fine adjustment
rotate nut along scale.
3. For less precise drilling, simply lower bit to
desired depth, as shown in Figure 19, and
slide top nut down to contact collar.
4. The lower nut (F
2
) can be used to hold the
spindle at a certain depth. Position the lower
nut up against the collar. The spindle will stop
at this position when the downfeed handle is
released.
