The drill chuck attaches to the spindle by means of the
arbor, shown in
Figure 12. Matched tapers on the arbor
and the inside of the chuck create a semi-permanent
assembly when properly joined. When the drill press is
shipped from the factory, a plastic plug is installed in
the chuck.

Drill Chuck & Arbor
To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to the
spindle, do these steps:
1. Use the chuck key to back the jaws out and remove
the plastic plug.
2. Use mineral spirits to thoroughly clean the drill
chuck, arbor, and spindle sockets and dry all
surfaces before assembly. Follow all safety warnings
on the container of the mineral spirits.
Failure to
clean the mating surfaces may cause the tapered
fit to loosen during operation, resulting in
separation and an unsafe condition.
3. Use the chuck key to adjust the jaws of the drill
chuck until they are inside the drill chuck body.
Chuck Guard
Figure 11. Installing chuck guard.
The chuck guard must be installed before the chuck is
attached to the spindle.
To install the chuck guard, do these steps:
1. Loosen the Phillips head screw and lock nut on the
chuck guard clamp.
2. Place the chuck guard over the spindle, and tighten
the Phillips head screw and lock nut.
Note: (Optional) To prevent the guard from slipping
off of the spindle, move the table up until it is just
below the guard as shown in
Figure 11. Or have an
assistant hold the guard in place while you secure it.
