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: 13.
.
,_ 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.
14.
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.
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.
SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
the work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
2. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry
conditions, indoor use only.
15. WHEN using a drill press vise, always fasten to the
table.
. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. USE a face or dust mask 16.
along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty.
USE ear protectors, especially during extended
periods of operation. 17.
4. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly
tightened before drilling.
SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to
the column, and the table to the table support before
operating the drill press.
5. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely
held.
18. NEVER turn your drill press on before clearing the
table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.)
6. ALWAYS keep hands out of the path of a drill bit.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the drill bit.
19. BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor
switch to make sure the drill bit does not wobble or
vibrate.
.
.
DO NOT install or use any drill bit that exceeds
175 mm (7 in.) in length or extends 150 mm (6 in.)
below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly bend
outward or break.
Q DO NOT USE wire wheels, router bits, shaper
cutters, circle (fly) cutters, or rotary planers on
this drill press.
20.
21.
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.
DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on
the table while the drill press is in operation.
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.
22.
USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill
press accessory and for different workpiece
material. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS that come with
the accessory.
11. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be drilled.
