3.  Rotate lock ring (F) 

counterclockwise

 as far as 

it will turn. You should be able to feel and hear 
when the lock ring reaches the end of its 
rotation. 

4.  Tighten lock handle (G). 

5.  The bit will now stop at the marked depth 

when the downfeed handle is rotated. 

6.  To release the depth stop, loosen lock handle 

(G).

NOTE: Method #2 allows rapid, fine adjustment to 
the setting, as follows: 

If the depth setting is found to be 

too shallow

1.  Hold downfeed handle (D) stationary while 

slightly loosening lock handle (G). 

2.  Slightly rotate downfeed handle to lower bit to 

the more accurate position. 

3.  Retighten lock handle (G). Depth is now set to 

more accurate position. 

If the depth setting is found to be 

too deep

1. Loosen lock handle (G) while holding 

downfeed handle stationary. 

2.  Slightly back off the lock ring (F), that is, rotate 

it 

clockwise

3.  Slightly rotate downfeed handle to bring bit up 

to more accurate depth. 

4.  Rotate lock ring (F) all the way 

counter-

clockwise.

 

5.  Tighten lock handle (G). Depth is now set to 

more accurate position.

  Quill retraction lock 

The quill can be held in the down position and 
prevented from retracting, such as for operating a 
sanding drum or to facilitate removal of chuck and 
arbor. 

To lock the quill in down position, proceed as 
follows (Figure 24): 

1.  Loosen lock handle (G, Figure 24). 

2.  Rotate downfeed handle (D) to lower spindle 

to the point at which it is to be locked, and hold 
downfeed handle stationary in this position. 

3.  Rotate lock ring (F) 

clockwise

 all the way until 

it stops. You should be able to feel and hear 
when the lock ring reaches the end of its 
rotation. 

4.  Tighten lock handle (G). You can now release 

downfeed handle. The quill will remain in this 
lowered position until released. 

5.  To release the quill, loosen lock handle (G).

  Laser adjustment 

Refer to Figures 25, 26 and 27. 

 

Do not look directly into the 

laser beam or view it directly with optical 
instruments. See Figure 25.

 

 

Figure 25 

The Laser Assembly has been installed and pre-
set at the factory. It should, however, be checked 
for alignment and any adjustments made before 
operating the drill press. It should be re-checked 
periodically, as long-term machine vibration may 
cause it to become misaligned.
