1.  If you plan to use your drill press in a permanent 
location, you must secure the drill press base to the 
supporting surface with fasteners through the three 
mounting holes (A) Fig. 1 in the drill press base.
 RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION.  If you 
do not fasten your drill press in a permanent manner, 
you must fasten the drill press to a plywood mounting 
board to prevent the drill press from tipping over 
during normal use.  
 RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION.  Use 
a good grade of plywood with a minimum 3/4" 
thickness. Do not make the mounting board from 
particle board since particle board breaks easily.
2.  Use a plywood board base with the minimum 
dimensions as shown in Fig. 2 for mounting the drill 
press base to a supporting surface.
3.  Place the drill press base (D) Fig. 3 centered on the 
supporting surface (E). 
 RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. Make 
sure that the plywood extends a minimum of 3" on all 
four sides of the base as shown in Fig. 5.
4.  Drill three 3/8" diameter holes through the holes (A) 
Fig. 1 in the drill press base, and in the supporting 
surface (E) Fig. 3. 
NOTE:  Place a piece of scrap wood underneath the 
supporting surface when drilling the through holes so 
that the drill bit will not damage the material  beneath 
the supporting surface.
5.  Fasten the drill press base to the mounting board 
using the carriage bolts, flat washers, lockwashers, 
and hex nuts (C) Fig. 2 furnished with your drill 
press. Countersink the holes for the carriage bolt 
heads and flat washers under the board so that 
the bolt heads are flush with or below the bottom 
surface of the board. Use a flat washer, lock washer, 
and  hex nut above the drill press base.
