Default drill press help for newbie

I have some experience but this is a first for me: I'm not sure of the
nomenclature but drill presses I've seen have a tensioner or spring
that returns the chuck to the top of its travel. Am I explaining that
right? A used one I picked up, made in Japan and appears well made,
does just the opposite. If I want to drill something I have to rotate
the handle "back" so the drill goes up, then I can bring it down to
drill the hole. This just seems weird. Is there a way to reverse it
and make it "normal?" TIA.
