ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
ANGULAR “PLAY” OF THE SPINDLE (Fig. 18)
Move the spindle to the lowest downward position and hold in place. Try to
make the spindle revolve around its axis while also moving it with a side motion.
If there is too much “play”, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lock nut (1).
2. Without obstructing the upward and downward motion of the spindle, turn
the screw (2) clockwise to eliminate the “play.” Note: A little bit of “play” is
normal.
3. Tighten the lock nut (1).
REPLACING THE BELT (Fig. 19)
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.
Note: See page 19 for information on the variable speed function of this drill
press.
1. Remove the screw that secures the housing cover (1). Open the housing
cover.
2. Remove the belt (2) 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 (3). Then remove the belt from the front spindle (4).
3. Replace the belt by putting a new belt over the front spindle (4) and carefully sliding the belt over the drive
(motor) spindle (3).
WARNING: Do not change the drive speed when the drill press is turned off.
