n Locate the pre-assembled storage tray.
n Completely remove the screw and hex nut from one side
of the storage tray assembly.
n Place the storage tray assembly around column and
above collar. Securely tighten in place using screw and
hex nut. Make sure the storage tray is located above
the column collar. Be careful not to overtighten the hex
nuts.

hub and tighten.

wrench included with drill press.
TO INSTALL THE CHUCK

with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no foreign
particles sticking to these surfaces. The slightest piece
of dirt on these surfaces will prevent the chuck from
seating properly. This will cause the drill to "wobble".

n Push up on chuck assembly as you rotate it.
n Unlock table support lock and raise table so its about
two inches below tip of chuck.
n Turn chuck sleeve clockwise and open jaws in chuck
