AMT 4562 - Adjustment

ADJUSTMENTS
BEFORE ADJUSTMENT, DISCONNECT THE
DRILL PRESS FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
1. For the purpose of automatically returning the spindle
upward after a hole has been drilled, a spindle return
spring is provided in the spring housing (A) Fig. 12. This
spring has been properly adjusted at the factory and
should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessarily. To
adjust the return spring, proceed as follows:
A. Loosen the two nuts (B) Fig. 12, approximately one-
quarter inch. IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE
NUT (B) FROM SHAFT.
B. While FIRMLY holding spring housing (A) Fig. 12,
pull out housing and rotate it until the roll pin (C) is
engaged with the next notch on the housing. Turn
the housing counter-clockwise to increase and clock¬
wise to decrease spring tension. Then tighten the two
nuts (B) to hold the housing in place. IMPORTNAT:
NUTS (B) SHOULD NOT CONTACT SPRING
HOUSING (A) WHEN TIGHT.
2. Where a number of holes are to be drilled to exactly the
same depth, a depth stop is provided in the pinion shaft
housing (A) Fig. 13. and is used as follwos:
A. Loosen lock lever (B) Fig. 13, and rotate housing (A)
until the pointer (C) lines up with the depth indicat¬
ed on the inch /metric scale (D) you want the
spindle to lower. Then tighten lock lever (B).
B. The spindle will then low'er to the exact depth as
indicated on the scale (D) Fig. 13.
3. To adjust table, hold the table with one hand and loosen
in the desired position and retighten the lock handle.
4. Rotation of work table: Loosen the table position. To obtain more distance between the chuck and
the table, the work table can be rotated 180° and the base can be used as a work table. This will per¬
mit the drilling of larger objects.
5. To tilt table, loosen the pivot bolt. (A) Fig. 14 Remove the
small locator pin (B). To do this "tighten” the nut until
the pin easily slips out. Tilt the table to the desired angle
up to 45 and retighten bolt. Reinsert the locator pin when
returning the table to zero degree.
