Answer: Here are a few instructions to follow while installing a Drill Press:
• Fix the column support to the base using the three screws provided.
• Slide the table clamp onto the column and align the table with the base and secure it in position using the table clamp lock.
• Place the head assembly onto the column and slide it down the column as far as possible. Align the head with the table and base and tighten the head locking grub screws with the hex key.
• Fit the depth scale.
• Attach the feed wheel. Secure the feed wheel in place with the cap screw using the hex key.
• Fit the chuck safety shield over the collar of the spindle nose and tighten the clamp screw.
• Carefully clean out the tapered hole in the chuck and the spindle taper using a clean cloth.
• Hinge up the shield.
• Push the chuck onto the spindle and lightly tap the chuck with a piece of wood to ensure proper fitting.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Check that the voltage of the power supply and the power point are suitable for the drill press. Also check the supply against the details given on the rating plate on the tool.
All necessary modifications must be carried out by a qualified electrician or service technician.
