ADJUSTING THE SPLIT HEAD
CASTING
MAKE CERTAIN the drill press is disconnected from the
power source.
NOTE: The Head Casting and quill have been adjusted at
the factory to give the quill the proper sliding fit in the head
casting. However over time "play" between the quill and
head casting may develop. To adjust:
1. Loosen the lock nut (A) on the left side of the head
casting. SEE FIG 24B.

2. Using a hex wrench slightly tighten the adjusting screw
(B) on the right side of the head casting.
3. Rise and lower the quill several times to make sure
that the quill does not bind.
4. Retighten the lock nut (A).

DRILL SPEED
Make certain the drill press is turned on when
shifting speeds. Fig 24C (A) using the speed handle.
Your drill press has 5 reference speed locations,
(500, 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 RPM). SEE
FIG.24C (B). These are not fixed speeds and all
selections must be locked in place using lock handle
on opposite side of the head. SEE FIG 24D (C).
