Adjusting the Head Height
To facilitat e shipp ing, the Dr ill Press is packed with t he
head adjusted down on the column. T he head assembly
should be moved to the top of the column before drilling
operation starts.
The head assembly is very heavy.
Use caution when adjusting the head and make sure
it is supported by the table or locked in place. Failure
to comply may cause damage to property and/or
personal injury!
1. Unlock the table by loosening the handle (A, Figure
3)
2. Lower the table until there is room to place a block of
wood between the table and the head assembly
(Figure 4).
3. Loosen two nuts (A, Figure 5) on the head assembly.

the correct height when the top of the head is just
below the column cap (B, Figure 5).
5. Tighten the two nuts (A, Figure 5) on the head
assembly firmly.
6. To lower the head, reverse the steps above. Do not
loosen the head assembly bolts without
supporting the head. This may cause the head to
slip on the column and may cause damage to the
machine or personal injury.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Adjusting the Rack Assembly
