MOUNTING THE DRILL PRESS (FIG. 8)
The drill press must be securely fastened through the mounting
holes (Fig. 8 - 1) to a stand or workbench with heavy-duty
fasteners (not included). This will prevent the drill press from
tipping over, sliding, or walking during operation.
IMPORTANT: If the stand or workbench has a tendency to move
during operation, fasten the workbench securely to the floor.
LED BULB
An LED bulb has been assembled in the socket of the head.

INSTALL THE CHUCK (FIG. 9)
1. Inspect and clean the taper hole in the chuck
(Fig. 9 - 1) and the spindle (Fig. 9 - 2). Remove all grease, coatings,
and particles from the chuck and spindle surfaces
with a clean cloth.
2. Open the chuck jaws (Fig. 9 - 3) by manually turning the chuck
barrel clockwise. Make sure the jaws are completely recessed
inside the chuck.
3. Insert the chuck arbor (Fig. 9 - 4) into the opening at the top of
the chuck.
4. Insert the arbor into the spindle. Rotate it until the tang of the
arbor (the flats on the end) is aligned with the slot in the spindle,
and the chuck and arbor can be pushed upwards. Seat the chuck by
placing a block of wood (Fig. 9 - 5, not included) below the chuck
and firmly tapping the wood once with a hammer. Alternatively,
firmly tap the chuck once with a rubber mallet or dead-blow
hammer (not included).

CAUTION: To avoid damaging
the chuck, make sure the jaws
are completely recessed into
the chuck. Do not use a metal
hammer to drive the chuck onto
the arbor or into the spindle.

WARNING: To reduce risk of fire, DO NOT use a light
bulb greater than 40 watts. When changing the light bulb,
always check that the power switch is in the OFF position
and the plug is disconnected from its power source.
5. If the chuck or arbor fail to seat properly, they may not be clean enough. Remove them and thoroughly
clean the mating surfaces, then try again. Ensure all dust, debris, and liquids are removed from the surfaces,
and that neither surface is damaged.
