Drilling Depth; Spindle Return Spring - Craftex CT023N Owner's Manual

DRILLING DEPTH

Your drill press has been equipped with a new type depth adjustment. To set the
depth stop, loosen the depth locking nuts and rotate them to the desired depth as
indicated on the scale.

SPINDLE RETURN SPRING

The spindle is equipped with an auto-return
mechanism. The main components of which are a
spring and a notched chrome housing. The spring
was properly adjusted at the factory and should
not be readjusted unless absolutely necessary. If
required, proceed as follows:
- Unplug the drill press.
- Loosen the two housing nuts (1) approximately
1/4".
- Firmly hold the spring housing (2) and pull it
out so it clears the raised notch (3).
- Turn it until the next notch is engaged with the
boss. To increase the tension, turn it clockwise
and counter-clockwise to decrease the tension.
- Tighten the two nuts.
Do not over-tighten the nuts, as it will make the
-
spindle handle sluggish.
