assembly movesstiffly when beingswivelledabout the column, loosenthe uppercollar allen screw
(atthe rack)to allowthe collarto moveveryslightly, therebyproviding alittle more clearancebetween
rackand collar. Tightenthe allen screwwhen satisfied.Thetable may alsobeturned on its axis by
looseningthe pinch bolt at its' mountingshaft.
SpindleDepth
Locatedaroundthe spindlefeedshaft isaDepthStopCollar,printedwith a graduatedscale.Thecollar
is capableof turning about the shaft and maybe lockedin placebythe lockingscrew. Thescaleis
printed in both inchesand metric.To set adrilling depth: 1. With the powerOFF,lowerthe drill bit so
that it contactsthe work, and hold inthat position. 2. Loosenthe lockingscrew andturn the collar so
that the measurementfor the depth of hole required is in line with the pointer (C). Lockthe collar in
this position usingthe locking screw. Thedrill is now setto drill holesto your predetermineddepth,
from that particular start point.

Placeathick cloth,or similar material,onthetableto catchthe chuck,to preventdamagewhenit drops.
Pulldown the spindleonce more, untilthe slot in theQuilltube is visible. Insertthe drift wedgeinto
the slot and giveit asharp tap,preferablywith a copper hammer.This will breakthe sealbetweenthe
quill tubeand the arbor, allowingthe chuckto fall free,on to the cloth onthe table.To disconnectthe
chuckfrom the arbor, giveit asharp rapwith a soft headmallet to breakthe taper seal.
