POWER TOOL SAFETY:
10. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Drilling operation
produces dust.
11. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
12. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in OFF position before plugging in.
13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the Op-
erator's Manual for recommended accessories. The use of im-
proper accessories may cause serious injury.
14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it ON.
15. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn pow-
er OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
16. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally con-
tacted.
17. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be care-
DRILL PRESS SAFETY
1. THE DRILL PRESS MUST BE BOLTED securely to a work-
bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the 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 face or dust mask along
with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty. USE ear pro-
tectors, 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 awk-
ward hand positions 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 175 mm
(7") in length or extends 150 mm (6") below the chuck jaws.
They can suddenly bend outward or break.
8. DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, cir-
cle (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 vice for unstable workpiece.
11. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
fully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function – check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
20. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, mas-
ter switches, or by removing starter keys.
21. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of
any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability
to use the tool properly.
22. Dust generated from certain
material can be hazardous to your
health. Always operate the drill
press in a well-ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system
whenever possible.
23. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any drill press could
throw foreign objects into the eyes that could cause perma-
nent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glass-
es) that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1 Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They ARE NOT
safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could cause serious injury.
12. CLAMP WORKPIECE OR BRACE against the left side of
the column to prevent rotation. If it is too short or the table is
tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
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 WORK. Use clamps or vice to hold the work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
15. WHEN using a drill press vice, always fasten to the table.
16. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened be-
fore drilling.
17. SECURELY LOCK the head and table support to the col-
umn, 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. Do not restart until the problem is corrected.
21. DO NOT perform lay out assembly or set up work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
