QUILL RETURN SPRING
1.
With the chuck at its highest possible position, turn
the depth scale clockwise until it stops and tighten
the depth scale lock. This will prevent the quill drop-
ping while tensioning the 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
removing [outer] nut only.
5.
With screwdriver remaining in notch, loosen [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.
7. Tighten standard nut with wrench only enough to
engage boss. Do not overtighten as this will restrict
quill movement.
8.
Move stop nuts and depth pointer to upper most
position and check tension while turning feed han-
dles.
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.
10. Proper tension is achieved when quill returns gently
to full up position when released from 3/4" depth.
11. When there is enough tension after checking,
replace outer nut and tighten to inner nut. BUT do
not overtighten against inner nut.
12. Check quill while feeding to have smooth and unre-
stricted movement. If movement is too tight, loosen
outer nut and SLIGHTLY loosen inner nut until
unrestricted. Retighten outer nut.
