parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
DRILL PRESS SAFETY
WARNING! For your own safety, do not try to use your
drill press or plug it in until it is completely assembled and
installed according to the instructions, and until you have
read and understood this instruction manual:
1. YOUR DRILL PRESS MUST BE BOLTED securely to
a workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for
your drill press to move during certain operations, bolt
the workbench to the floor.
2. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry
conditions, indoor use only.
3. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Use a face or dust mask
along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty.
Use ear protectors, especially during extended periods
of operation.
4. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
5. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
6. ALWAYS keep hands out of the path of a drill bit. Avoid
awkward hand posotions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to move into the drill bit.
7. DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm
(7in.) in length or extends 150mm (6in.) below the
chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend outward or break.
8. DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters,
circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on this drill press.
9. WHEN cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
10. DO NOT perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS hold
the workpiece firmly against the table so it will not rock or
twist. Use clamps or a vise for unstable workpieces.
11. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
12. CLAMP THE WORKPIECE OR BRACE IT against the
left side of the column to prevent rotation. If it is too
short or the table is tilted, clamp it solidly to the table
and use the fence provided.
13. IF THE WORKPIECE overhangs the table such that it
will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
14. SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
work when practical, it is safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
15. WHEN using a drill press vise, always fasten to the table.
16. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened
before drilling.
17. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to
the column, and the table to the table support before
operating the drill press.
18. NEVER turn your drill press on before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
19. BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
20. LET THE SPINDLE REACH FULL SPEED before
starting to drill, if your drill press makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immediately, turn
the drill press off and unplug. If do not restart the unit
until the problem is corrected.
21. DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
22. USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill press
accessory and for different workpiece material. READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS that come with the accessory.
23. WHEN DRILLING large diameter holes, clamp the
workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may
grap and spin the workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT
USE fly cutters or multiple-part hole cutters, as they can
come apart or become unbalanced in use.
24. MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the workpiece.
25. TO AVOID INJURY from accidental starting, always
turn the switch "OFF" and unplug the drill press before
installing or removing any accessory or attachment or
making any adjustment.
26. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
27. USE ONLY THE SELF-EJECTING TYPE CHUCK
KEY as provided with the drill press.
