ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
INSTALLING A DRILL BIT
1. Place the chuck key (Fig. 10 - 1) into the side keyhole of
the chuck (Fig. 10 - 2), meshing the key with the gear teeth.
2. Turn chuck key counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws.
3. Insert a drill bit into the chuck so the chuck jaws grip as
much of the bit’s shank as possible.
4. Center the drill bit in the chuck jaws before the final tight-
ening of the chuck.
5. Tighten the chuck jaws using the chuck key to ensure that
the drill bit will not slip while drilling. Tighten the jaws using
all three keyholes of the chuck.
6. Remove the chuck key. Store in the rubber key holder
(Fig. 11 - 3).

WARNING! To avoid injury, make sure the chuck key
is removed from the chuck before starting any drilling
operation.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. Unplug the drill press.
2. To change to another one of the five available speeds,
open the belt housing cover (Fig. 11 - 1) and loosen the belt
tension locking knob (Fig. 11 - 2).
3. Pull the motor towards the front of the press and tighten
the belt tension locking knob. Adjust the position of the belt
on the belt pulleys (Fig. 12).
NOTE: Ensure that the belt runs on the same setting of each
pulley (e.g. if the belt is on the third setting of the motor
pulley, it should be on the third setting of the spindle pulley
as well).
4. Loosen the belt tension locking knob and push the motor
towards the rear of the drill press, ensuring that the belt is
under tension. Tighten the belt tension locking knob. Close
the belt housing cover.
