Use and Care Manual

Assembly and adjustments (continued)

Remove the chuck (Fig. 14)

1. Turn the feed handles (1) to lower the chuck (2) to the

lowest position.

2. Place a ball joint separator (not shown) above the chuck

(3) and tap it lightly with a hammer (4) to cause the

chuck to drop from the spindle.

Note: To avoid possible damage, be prepared to catch the

chuck as it falls.

Install the belt (Fig. 15)

1. Open the pulley and belt cover (1).

2. Loosen the belt tension lock knobs (2) on both sides of

the drill press.

3. Slide the motor (3) as close to the drill press head as

possible.

4. Place a belt (4) on the motor pulley (5) and the spindle

pulley (6) in the proper position for the desired speed

(see Fig. 17).

5. Pull the motor away from the drill press head until the

belt is properly tensioned. Tighten the belt tension lock knobs (2).

Note: The belt (4) should be tight enough to prevent slippage. Correct tension is set if the belt

flexes about 1/2" (13 mm) when thumb pressure is applied at the midpoint of the belt between the

pulleys.
