The base of the drill press has four mounting 
holes. The drill press should be level and rest 

solidly on the floor. Place shims under the four 
mounting holes in the base as required to level 
the drill press. 

The Drill Press is shipped with the head in 
lowered position. Follow these instructions to 
assemble.
