PROPER GROUNDING
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
CX616 is for use on a normal 110 volt circuit. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. If an adaptor plug is used, it must be attached to the metal screw of the receptacle. To prevent electrical hazards, have a qualified electrician ensure that the line is properly wired.
The drill press should be wired with a plug having 3 prongs to fit a 3 prong grounded receptacle as shown in figure-1. Do not remove the grounding prong to fit it into a 2 pronged outlet.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
It is strongly recommended not to use extension cords with your CX616. Always try to position your machine close to the power source so that you do not need to use extension cords.
If you really find it necessary to use an extension cord, make sure the extension cord does not exceed 50-feet in length and the cord is 14-gauge to prevent motor damage.

UNPACKING
To ensure safe transportation this machine is properly packaged and shipped completely in a crate. When unpacking, carefully inspect the crate and ensure that nothing has been damaged during transit.
While doing inventory, if you can not find any part, check if the part is already installed on the machine. Some of the parts come assembled with the machine for the shipping purposes.
SETUP
Before setting up your machine you should read and understand the instructions given in this manual.
The unpainted surfaces of this machine are coated with a rust preventive waxy oil and you will want to remove this before starting assembly. Use a solvent cleaner that will not damage painted surfaces.

MOUNTING TO
A TABLE TOP
The CX616 features two mounting holes allowing it to be mounted to a table top having a load capacity of approximately 20
Kg.
Figure-2 Mounting holes on the base
To mount the drill press to the table top:
Make sure the surface is flat and stable.
Position the drill press onto the table and use the two holes on the drill press base as a guide and drill into the table.
Secure the drill press to the table by using lag bolts, flat washers and hex nuts (not provided).
TABLE SUPPORT
To install the table support:
Slide the table support assembly all the way down until it rests on the base.
Install the support lock handle to right side of the table support as shown in figure-3.

Figure-3 Installing table height lock handle
Slide the table to desired height and lock it in position.
FEED HANDLES
To install the feed handles:
Thread the three feed handles into the holes on the feed hub and hand tighten.
See figure-4.
INSTALLING
THE CHUCK
Remove grease and particles from the chuck and spindle surface with a clean cloth.
Slide the chuck onto the arbor and then place a block of wood under the chuck and tap the chuck and arbor with a hammer until it seats into the spindle.
Do not strike the chuck directly with a steel hammer.
REMOVING THE CHUCK
Lower the chuck to its lowest position exposing the spindle sleeve.
The spindle sleeve has a large oval hole on both sides of it.
Rotate the chuck until the spindle hole lines up with the hole in the spindle sleeve.
Insert the wedge and tap the wedge lightly with a hammer.
