Installing the chuck (Fig. 17)

1.  Clean the conical hole in the chuck (19) and the 

spindle cone with a clean piece of fabric. Make 
sure there are no foreign particles sticking to the 
surfaces. The slightest piece of dirt on any of 
these surfaces will prevent the chuck from seat-
ing properly. This will cause the drill bit to wobble“. 
If tapered hole in the chuck is extremely dirty, use 
a cleaning solvent on the clean cloth.

2.  Push the drilling chuck onto the spindle nose as 

far as possible.

3.  Turn the chuck sleeve anti-clockwise (when viewed 

from above) and open the jaws of the drilling chuck.

4.  Place a piece of wood on the table and lower the 

spindle onto the piece of wood. Press tightly so 

the chuck fits precisely.

Fastening radial drill press to supporting surface

Tighten the drill on a work bench with the holes of the 
base plate to prevent tipping of the machine.
For your own safety, it is highly recommended to in-
stall the machine on a bench or similar.

9. Adjustment

WARNING: 

All the necessary adjustments for the good working of 
your drill press have been done at the factory .Please 
do not modify them.
However, because of a normal wear and tear of your 
tool, some readjustments might be necessary .

WARNING: 

Always pull the plug from the socket when carrying 
out adjustment work.

Adjusting the spindle retaining spring (Fig. 18)

It may be necessary for the spindle retaining spring to 
be adjusted because of changed tension, making the 
spindle return too quickly or too slowly.
1.  To provide more space, lower the table.
2.  Work on the left side of the drill.
3.  Put a screwdriver in the front lower notch (1), 

keeping it in place.

4. 

Remove the outer locknut (3) with a flat spanner 

(SW14).

5.  Leaving the screwdriver in the notch, loosen the 

inner locknut (4) until the cut-out is released from 
the boss (6). WARNING: Spring is under tension!

6.  Using the screwdriver, carefully turn the spring 

cap (2) anti-clockwise until you can press the 
notch (1) into the boss (6).

7.  Lower the spindle to the lowest position and hold the 

spring cap (2) in place. When the spindle moves up 
and down as desired, retighten the inner locknut (4).

8.  If it is too loose, repeat steps 3-5. If it is too tight, 

repeat step 6 in reverse order.

9. 

Using a flat spanner, tighten the outer locknut (3) 

against the inner locknut (4).

10.  NOTE: Do not over-tighten and do not restrict the 

movement of the spindle!
