While you may never have to adjust the quill-

shaft screw, you should understand its function
and know how to adjust it should you ever
need to remove the quill for cleaning. This
screw prevents the quill from rotating during
drilling and sanding procedures, and if adjusted
incorrectly, the quill may have lash or bind.

2.  Clean and lubricate the quill shaft with a

thin coat of light oil, and make sure the
quill travels freely. See 

3.  Loosen the jam nut. See Figure 23.

4.  Turn the quill-shaft screw clockwise or

counterclockwise to establish free, unbind-
ing travel while moving the quill up and
down through its entire range of travel.

5.  When the quill-shaft screw is screwed

inward against the quill as far as the screw
can go without binding the quill, hold the
screw and tighten the jam nut. 

6.  Recheck for quill binding and looseness

while moving the quill up and down
through its entire range of travel and 
re-adjust as required.
