INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
RECEIVING
Remove drill press from shipping container and
check for damage. Report any damage to the
carrier and to your distributor immediately. Attach
accessories shipped with drill press, then clean
protective coating from table, column, base and
spindle with a good commercial solvent. Read
instruction manual thoroughly for assembly align-
ment, maintenance and safety instructions.
INSTALLATION
Mount machine on a solid foundation and lag to the
floor through holes provided in base of drill press.
The head and table of the machine have been
lowered on the column for convenience in packag-
ing.
1.
Using a crane and sling with blocks to prevent
damage to the guard; place a sling under the
head near the column on the spindle side.
2.
Loosen the two binders clamping the head to
the column and raise the head to the desired
height. Move the safety collar to a position
under the head by loosening the two set
screws, sliding the collar up, and relocking
setscrews.
3.
Remove the sling and clamp the head in
position.
4.
Using the crane and sling, unlock the table
binder and raise the table height enough to
install the table raising rack.
5.
Install the rack by placing it in the notched
area in the lower collar and driving the roll pin
through the hole in the rack and through both
ears on the collar.
6.
Position the rack to engage the table raising
gearing and lower the table until the rack
engages the rack pinion.
7.
Lower the crane to put slack in the sling,
engage the table raising lever and lower the
table on to the rack. Visually align the table
with the base, lock the table binder and
remove the sling.
SPINDLE TABLE MODELS
In the case of spindle table models, the legs are not
attached to the table, they are packed separately.
To assemble the legs to the spindle table, carefully
support machine on forklift tines or other temporary
supports and bolt legs securely into position. It is
imperative that a spindle table be carefully leveled.
Use a precision level, and adjust the level using the
jackscrews provided in the legs. Lag machine to
8
floor through holes provided in leveling screws (3/8"
dia. lag screws).
QUILL ADJUSTMENT
Lateral play or bellmouthing can develop between
the quill and head casting bands due to wear. To
compensate for wear between the quill and head,
proceed as follows:
1.
Be sure quill lock handle (Figure 2) is loose.
2.
Squeeze slotted head casting together slightly
by tightening bolt (A). Apply just enough
pressure to compensate for wear but do not
restrict free motion down or return.

Quill Fit Up Adjustment
QUILL RETURN SPRING ADJUSTMENT
Spring tension for return of spindle, after hole
drilling, has been pre-set at the factory. No further
adjustment should be attempted unless absolutely
necessary. Adjustment will probably be required if a
multiple spindle drilling or tapping head is used. If
adjustment is necessary, loosen lock screw (A)
(Figure 3) while holding quill spring housing (B). Do
not allow the housing to turn in your hand or spring
will unwind. Turn entire housing assembly clock-
wise the number of turns necessary to cause the
quill to return to its up position. (NOTE: The flat of
the spring housing pilot is lined up with the spring
loading hole on the body of the spring housing.)
