surface ctean and smooth enough to reduce the risk
of trips, slips, or fails. Use it where nerther the opera-
tor nor a casual observer is forced to stand in line
with a potential kickback.
8. Kickback
Kickback is the grabbing of the workpiece by the
rotating tool. The workpiece can be thrown at very
high speed in the direction of rotation. THiS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY To redu_ the possibi_
of injury from kickback:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table whenever
possible.

RE-INSTALUNG THE CHUCK AND ARBOR
NOTE: The chuck received with this drill press willnot
permitthe use of smallerdiameter drillbits. Foran alter-
nate accessory chuck and key with 1/32" - 5/8" capacity
the following partnumber shouldbe ordered. - Part No.
#8! 7340 (chuck&key).
1. Clean the tapered surfaces onthe arbor and spindle
with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no foreign
particles sticking to these surfaces. The slightest
piece of dirt on these surfaceswill prevent the arbor
from seating properly. This will cause the drill to
"wobble".
2. Slide arbor into spindle on drill press.
3. Push up on chuck/arbor assembly as you rotate
them. You willfeel rectangular end of arborslipintoa
notchinthe spindle.
WARNING: Make sure the rectangular end of
the arbor has slipped into the notch in the

basic drill press operation
Followthe following instructions for operating your drill
pressto get the best results and to minimize the likeli-
hood of personal injury.
WARNING: For your own safety, always
observe the safety precautions here and on
pages 2, 3, and 4.
I. Protection: Eyes, Hands Face, Ears & Body
WARNING: To avoid being pulled into the spin-
ning tool-
1. Do NOT wear:
- gloves
- necktie
- loose clothing
- jewelry
2. Do tie back gong hair
a.
If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunc-
tioning, has been damaged or broken...such as
the motor switch, or other operating control, a
safety device or the power cord...cease operating
immediately until the particular part is properly
repaired or replaced.
b.
Never place your fingers ina position where they
could contact the drill or other cutting tool if the
workpiece should unexpectedly shift or your hand
should slip.
c.
To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring,
follow instructions exactly as given and shown in
adjusting spring tension of quill.
d.
To prevent the workpiece from being torn from
your hands, spinning of the tool, shattering the
tool or being thrown, always properly support your
work so it won't shift or bind on the tool:
- Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (use
beneath the workpiece) to contact the left side
of the column.
- Whenever possible, position the WORKPIECE
to contact the left side of the column-if it is too
short or the table is tilted, clamp solidly to the
table. Use table slots or clamping ledge around
the outside edge of the table.
- When using a drill press VICE, always fasten it
to atable.
- Never do any work "FREE HAND" (hand-hold-
ing workpiece rather than supporting it on the
table), except when polishing.
- Securely lock Head and Support to Column,
and table to support before operating drill
press.
- Never move the Head or Table while the tool is
running.
- Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to make sure the drill or other cutting
tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
- If a workpiece overhangs the table such that it
will fall or tip if not held, clamp itto the table or
provide auxiliary support.
- Use fixtures for unusual operations to ade-
quately hold, guide and position workpiece.
- Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for
the specific operation and workpiece
material-check the panel inside the guard
cover for drilling information; for accessories,
refer to the instructions provided with the
accessories.
e. Never climb on the drill press Table, it could break
or pull the entire drill press down on you.
f. Turn the motor Switch Off and put away the
Switch Key when leaving the drill press.
g. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact,
do NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the Cuttingtool is rotating.
2. Use only accessories designed for this drill press
to avoid serious injury from thrown broken parts
or work pieces.
a. When cutting large diameter holes:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise
the cutter may grab and spin it at high speed.
Use only one piece, cup-type, hole cutters.
DO NOT use fly cutters or multi-part hole cutters
as they can come apart or become unbalanced in
use.
Keep speed below 1,500 RPM.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this
drill press at a speed greater than 1800 RPM.
c. Do not install or use any drill that exceeds 7" in
length or extends 6" below the chuck jaws. They
can suddenly bend outward or break.
d. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cut-
ters, circle (fly) cutters or rotary planers on the drill
press.

iNSTALLiNG DRILL BiTS iN CHUCK
With the switch off and the key removed, insertdrill bit
intochuckfar enoughto obtain maximumGRIPPING of
the CHUCK JAWS...the jaws are approx. 1" long.
When using a small drillbit do not insert it so far that
thejaws touchthe flutes (spiralgrooves)ofthe drillbit.
Make sure thatthe drill bit is CENTERED In the chuck
beforetighteningthe chuckwith the key.
Tighten the drillbit sufficiently,so that it does not SLIP
while drilling.
Tum the chuck key clockwiseto tighten-counterclock-
wiseto loosen.
POSITiONiNG TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Lock the table tothe column in a positionso that the tip
ofthe drill isjusta little above the topof theworkplece.
Always place a piece of BACK-UP MATERIAL (wood,
plywood...) on the table underneath the workpiece.
This willprevent"splintering" or making a heavy burr on
the underside on the workpiece as the drill bit breaks
through. To keep the backup materialfrom spinningout
of control,itmust contactthe left sideof the column,as
illustrated.
WARNING: To prevent the workpiece or the
backup material from being torn from your
hand while drilling, position them against the
left side of the column, if the workpiece and the
backup material are not long enough to reach
the column, clamp them to the table. Failure to
do this could result in personal injury.

from thrown parts due to spring release, follow
instructions carefully, and wear eye goggles.
QUILL RETURN SPRING
1. With the chuck at its highest possible position, turn
the depth scale clockwise until it stops and tighten
the depth scale lock. This will prevent the quill drop-
ping while tensioning the spring.
2. Lower table for additional clearance.
3. Work from leftside of Drill Press.
4. Place screwdriver in lower front notch of spring
cap, and hold it in place while loosening and
removing [outer] nut only.
5. With screwdriver remaining in notch, loosen [inner]
nut (approximately 1/8") until notch disengages
from boss on head. DO NOT REMOVE THIS NUT.
6. Carefully turn screwdriver counter clockwise and
engage next notch in boss. DO NOT REMOVE
SCREWDRIVER.
7. Tighten standard nut with wrench only enough to
engage boss. Do not overtighten as this will restrict
quill movement.
8. Move stop nuts and depth pointer to upper most
position and check tension while turning feed han-
dles.
9. If there is not enough tension on spring, repeat
steps 4-8 moving only ONE notch each time and
checking tension after EACH repetition.
10. Proper tension is achieved when quill returns gently
to full up position when released from 3/4" depth.
11. When there is enough tension after checking,
replace outer nut and tighten to inner nut. BUT do
not overtighten against inner nut.
12. Check quill while feeding to have smooth and unre-
stricted movement. If movement is too tight, loosen
outer nut and SLIGHTLY loosen inner nut until
unrestricted. Retighten outer nut.
