and lock in place with wrench to prevent quill drop-
ping while tensioning spring,
2. Lower table for additional clearance.
3. Work from left side of Drill Press.
4. Place screwdriver in lower front notch of spring
cap, and hold it in place while loosening and remov-
ing jam [outer] nut only.
5. With screwdriver remaining in notch, loosen large
standard [inner] nut (approximately 1/8"),until notch
disengages from boss on head. DO NOT REMOVE
THIS NUT.
6. Carefully turn screwdriver counter clockwise and
engage next notch in boss. DO NOT REMOVE
SCREWDRIVER.

engage boss. Do not overtighten as this will restrict
quill movement.

tension while turning feed handles.
9. If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat
steps 4-8 moving only ONE notch each time and
checking tension after EACH repetition.

to full up position when released from 3/4" depth.
