in adjusting spring tension of quill.
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 WORK-
PIECE to contact the left side of the col-
umn-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.

it to the table.

INSTALLING DRILLS IN CHUCK
With the switch off and the key removed, insert drill
into chuck far enough to obtain maximum GRIPPING
of the CHUCK JAWS... the jaws are approx. 1" long.
When using a small drill do not insert it so far that the
jaws touch the flutes (spiral grooves) of the drill.
Make sure that the drill is CENTERED in the chuck
before tightening the chuck with the key.
Tighten the drill sufficiently, so that it does not SLIP
while drilling.
Turn the chuck key clockwise to tighten--coun-
