5. Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during any use, bolt it to the work bench.
If the workpiece is too large to easily support with
one hand, provide an auxiliary support,
7. Location
Use the drill press in a well lit area and on a level
surface clean and smooth enough to reduce the
risk of trips, slips, or falls. Use it where neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with a potential kickback.
8. Kickback
Kickback is the grabbing of the workpiece by the
rotating toot. The workpiece can be thrown at very
high speed in the direction of rotation. THIS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. To reduce the possi-
bility of injury from kickback:
Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table whenever
possible.
Buffing or sanding wheels or drums should be con-
tacted on the side moving away from you, not the
side moving toward you.
Use only recommended accessories and follow the
instructions supplied with the accessory.

press off and unplug it until the particular part
is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Never place your fingers in a position where
they could contact the drill or other cutting tool
if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift or
your hand should slip.
c. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring,
follow instructions exactly as given and shown
in adjusting spring tension of quill.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from
your hands, spinning of the toot, shattering the
tool or being thrown, always properly support
your work so it won't shift or bind on the tool:
-- Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (use
beneath the workpiece) to contact the left
side of the column.
,--, Whenever possible, position the WORK-
PIECE to contact the left side of the col-
umn-if it is too short or the table is tilted,
clamp solidly to the table. Use table slots
or clamping ledge around the outside edge
of the table.
-- When using a drill press WSE, always fas-
ten it to a table.
-- Never do any work "FREEHAND" (hand-
holding workpiece rather than supporting it
on the table), except when polishing.
-- Securely lock Head to Column, Table Sup-
port to Column, and Table to Table Support
before operating drill press.
-- Never move the Head or Table while the
tool is running.
-- Before starting the operation, jog the motor
switch to make sure the drill or other cutting
tool does not wobble or cause vibration.
-- If a workpiece overhangs the table such
that it will fall or tip if not held, clamp it to
the table or provide auxiliary support.
-- Use fixtures for unusual operations to
adequately hold, guide and position work-
piece.
-- Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended
for the specific operation and workpiece
material--check the inside of the Belt
Guard for drilling information; for acces-
sories, refer to the instructions provided
with the accessories,
f. Never climb on the drill press Table, it could
break or pu!Ithe entire drill press down on you.
g. Turn the motor Switch Off and put away the

do NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup
work on the table while the cutting tool is rotat-
ing.
