chuck (2), meshing the key with the gear teeth.

2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise 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. Center 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.

Square the table to the drill bit (Fig. 16)

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), and lock

the table (4) approximately 1" (2.5 cm) below the

drill bit.

3. Place a combination square (5; not included) 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
