1. Adjust the stationary depth to three inches (see depth instructions).
2. Turn spindle manually, lining up the spindle and quill key hole.
3. Insert key through hole in spindle with the tapered edge facing down (See Figure 7).

VIII. GETTING READY TO USE YOUR DRILL PRESS
Now that your drill press is assembled and in place, you are ready to begin using it. If used
properly, your drill press is a safe and easy machine to operate. If used carelessly it can inflict
serious injury. For your own protection, please read and follow these safety precautions.
•
While operating this machine, do not wear jewelry, loose clothing, necklaces or neckties.
Long sleeves on shirts should be rolled up or securely buttoned.
•
Persons with beards and/or long hair should consider the use of a hat, hairnet or similar
protective equipment.
•
Always use face/eye protection when operating the drill press. A full face shield will afford
the best protection followed by safety glasses with side shields.
