  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.
