HEALTH WARNING

1. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

A. Lead from lead-based paints

B. Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products

C. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

2. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: Work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

SETUP

NOTE: The drill motor should not be plugged in and the spindle should be static
when following any of the following procedures!

1. Mounting the Drill Motor

A. Attached to the drill body is a universal mounting block. Study the block
and drill stand carriage mounting holes. If it is determined the block is not
required, remove it so that the drill may mount properly to the carriage.

B. First install the appropriate key size into the available key way. Next line up
the mounting holes from the drill motor to the holes on the carriage. The screws
must pass through the carriage first then into the motor body.

C. Once the screw are tighten, look at the assembly from the side. Both the drill
motor and carriage mounting face must sit flush against each other.

D. The carriage must be properly adjusted to the drill stand column. Check that
the drill motor is secure by shaking the motor using moderate force. No
movement should be possible. If movement is felt independent from the
column, the carriage needs to be adjusted. See the drill stand manual for proper
adjustment instructions.

2. Installing a Core Bit

A. Raise the mounted drill motor to the proper height. The core bit should be
able to sit directly underneath the spindle.

B. Apply grease to the spindle thread to prevent corrosion and easier core bit
removal.

C. If a copper washer or slip collar is available, slide it onto the spindle.
