DRILL PRESS ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: All the adjustments for the operation of the
drill press have been completed at the factory. Due to
normal wear and use, some occasional readjustments
may be necessary.
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the plug
from the power source when making any adjustments.
ALIGNING THE BELT PULLEYS (FIG. Q)
To avoid injury from an accidental start, ALWAYS
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position, the
switch key is removed, and the plug is not connected
to the power source outlet before making belt
adjustments.
Open the head cover of the Drill Press. Check
alignment of the pulleys with a straight edge (5) such
as a framing square, a level, or a piece of wood. Lay
the straight edge across the top of the pulleys. If all the
three pulleys are NOT aligned:
1. Release belt pressure by loosening the belth
tension lock knobs (4) on either side of the head,
unlocking the belt tension handle (1).
2. Loosen the motor mount nuts (2). Lift or lower the
motor (3) until the pulleys are in line.
3. Tighten the motor mount nuts (2) using an
adjustable wrench.
NOTE: To avoid rattles or other noise, the motor
housing should not touch the lower belt guard
housing.
4. Retighten the belts by turning the belt tension
handle (t)clockwise, until the belt deflects
approximately 1/2 inch when pressed in the center.
NOTE: Refer to the chart inside the belt guard
cover for recommended drilling speeds and
belt/pulley positions.
5. Lock the belt tension lock knobs (4) by turning
clockwise.
NOTE: When the belts are new, it may be difficult
to move the belts. As the machine is used, the
belts will gain more elasticity and will be easier to
adjust.
