Location
The drill press should be placed in a dry area, with
a level floor and good lighting. Provide enough
space around drill press to allow for operations and
any adjustments or servicing.
6.5
Assembly
Do not connect drill press to
power source until machine has been fully
assembled.
1. Place the base upon a level floor. It may be
secured to the floor with lag screws (not
provided) through the two holes in the base.
Refer to
Figure 1
for hole spacing.
If you do not wish permanent attachment to
the floor, the drill press can be bolted to a
plywood panel which will serve as an
expanded base and further stabilize the
machine. Use a high grade of plywood (not
particle board) at least 3/4" thick. It should be
large enough to prevent vibration, sliding or
moving of drill press during operation. Do not
use a mobile base with this machine.
2. Make sure the set screw (Figure 4) is tight
against the column. Tighten further if needed,
using a 5mm hex key.
Figure 4
3. Lay the column assembly down on an elevated
surface (such as the included polystyrene
packaging). Attach base to column foot with
four M8x40 socket head cap screws and four
8mm flat washers (HP8/HP9, Figure 5), using
a 6mm hex key. NOTE: Align base and foot so
that their edges are flush.
4. Tighten
screws
firmly.
Figure 5
5. Set column assembly upright.
6. Insert the worm shaft (HP6, Figure 6) through
the hole in the table bracket as far as it will go,
meshing the worm with the teeth on the gear.
Figure 6
7. Position rack (F, Figure 7) into the slot in table
bracket. The longer flat portion of the rack
should be at the top, the short flat portion at
the bottom. Mesh the rack teeth with the worm
gear in the table bracket.
8. With the aid of a second person, hold the rack
in the slot, while setting the table bracket over
the top of the column. Then slide table bracket
and rack together down the column until the
lower end of the rack rests in the lip of the
holder, as shown in Figure 7.
