ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
REPLACING THE BELT
WARNING: Disconnect the drill press from the power source before replacing the belt.
Belt tension and drill press speed is controlled by automatic adjustments made to the diameter of the front spindle
when the drive handle is moved.
1. Open the housing cover. Loosen the belt tension locking knob (Fig R).
2. Remove the belt from the housing cover if it is broken. If it is not broken, but is too stretched to operate
correctly, work the belt off the drive (motor) spindle. Then remove the belt from the front spindle.
3. Replace the belt by putting a new belt over the front spindles at the desired speed. Pull the motor back to make
the belt taut. Once the desired tension has been achieve, tighten the belt tension locking knob (Fig R).
WARNING: For your safety, turn the switch off and remove the plug from the power supply before maintaining
or lubricating the drill press.
Vacuum sawdust or metal shavings that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.
Apply a light coat of paste wax to the column and table to help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.
The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the
spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.
Lubricate the table bracket and locking knobs if they become difficult to use.
CAUTION: All servicing of the drill press should be performed by a qualified service technician.
