additional safety instructions for drill presses
WARNUNG: For your own safety, do not attempt to
operate your drill press until it is completely assem-
bled and installed according to the instructions
. . . and until you have read and understand the
following:
Page
1. Genera0 Safety mnstructions for Power Tools. 2
2. Getting to Know Your Drill Press ........ 12
3. Basic Drill Press Operation ............. 15
4. Adjustments .......................... 17
5. Maintenance .......................... 18
6. Stability of Drill Press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during certain operations, the drill press
should be bolted to the floor. An alternate is to
securely bolt a flat piece of W' exterior plywood
large enough to stabilize the drill press to tile under-
side of the Base, extending to both sides, and to
rear if desired. Make sure the plywood won't trip
the operator. Do not use pressed wood panels -
they can break unexpectedly.
If the workpiece is too large to support with one
hand, provide an auxiliary support.
7. Location
The drill press should be positioned so neither the
operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand
in line with a potential Kickback, in a poorly lit area
or where the surface could cause trips, slips or falls.
8. Kickback
A kickback occurs when the workpiece issuddenly
thrown in the OPPOSITE direction to the DIREC-
TION OF FEED; THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS IN-
JURY. Kickbacks are most commonly caused by
use of accessories NOT listed on page 21.
9. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
WARNING: To avoid being pulled into the spin-
ning tool --
1. Do NOT wear:
- gloves
- necktie
- loose clothing
- jewelry
2. Tie back long hair
a. If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunc-
tioning, has been damaged or broken.., such
as the motor switch, or other operating control,
a safety device or the power cord.., cease
operating immediately 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 too!
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 quilt.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from
your hands, spinning of the toot, shattering the
too! 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 column
- if it is too short or the table is tilted, clamp
solidly to the table. Use table slots or clamp-
ing ledge around the outside edge of the
table.
-- A drill press VICE must always be fastened
to the table.
-- Never perform any operation "FREE-
HAND" (hand-holding workpiece rather
than supporting it on the table), except
when polishing.
-- Securely lock Head and Supportto Column,
Table Arm to support, and Table to Table
Arm 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 have excessive runout (wob-
ble) 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 panel on the left side
of the head for dri!ting information; for ac-
cessories, refer to the instructions provided
with the accessories.
f. Never ictimb on the drill press Table, it could
break or pul! the entire drill press down on you.
g, Turn the motor Switch Off and put away the
Switch Key when leaving the drill press.
h. To avoid injury from thrown work or too! contact,
do NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work
on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.
10, Use only accessories designed for this drill
press to avoid serious injury from thrown bro-
ken parts or work pieces.
a. Holesaws must NEVER be operated on this drill
press at a speed greater than 400 RPM.
b. Drum sanders must NEVER be operated on this
drill press at a speed greater than 1800 RPM.
