• Use the right tool. Don’t force a small tool or attachment
to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool
for purpose not intended—for example, don’t use a circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
• Secure work. Use clamps or vise to hold work. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
• Keep bits clean and sharp. Sharp bits minimize stalling.
Dirty and dull bits may cause misalignment of the material
and possible operator injury.
• Be sure drill bit or cutting tool is securely locked in the
chuck.
• Be sure chuck key is removed from the chuck before
connecting to power source or turning power ON.
• Adjust the table or depth stop to avoid drilling into the
table. Shut off the power, remove the drill bit, and clean
the table before leaving machine.
• Never perform any operation by moving the head or
table with respect to one another. Do not turn the switch
ON or start any operation before checking that the head
and table support lock handle is clamped tight to column
and head and table support collars are correctly positioned.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
TOOL CARE
• Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision
built. Any alteration or modication not specied is misuse
and may result in dangerous conditions.
• Avoid gaseous areas. Do not operate electric tools in a
gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools
normally spark, and this may result in a dangerous
condition.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and, if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
PRESSED WOOD PANELS. They can break unexpectedly.
If the workpiece is too large to easily support with one hand,
provide an auxiliary support.

1. Stability of the drill press
If there is any tendency of the drill press to tilt or
move during use, bolt it to the bench top or to a piece of
3/4 in. (2 cm) exterior plywood large enough to stabilize the
drill press. Bolt the plywood to the underside of the base
so it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO NOT USE
WARNING: For your own safety, do not operate
your drill press until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions, and until you have read and
understood the following:
4. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears and Body
WARNING: To avoid being pulled into the spinning
tool: Do not wear:
• Gloves
• Necktie
• Loose clothing
• Jewelry
DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR & ROLL LONG SLEEVES

a. If any part of your drill press is missing, malfunctioning,
has been damaged or broken, such as the motor switch
or other operating control, a safety device or the power
cord, cease operating the drill press immediately until the
particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Never place your ngers in a position where they could
contact the drill bit 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
the instructions exactly as given and shown in “SPINDLE
RETURN SPRING” section.
d. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your hands,
spinning on the table, shattering the tool, or being thrown,
always support your work so it won’t shift or bind to the
tool.
• Always position “backup material” (used beneath the
workpiece) to contact the left side of the column.
• Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column. If the workpiece is short or
2. 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 and
falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual
observer is forced to stand in line with a potential kickback.
3. Kickback
Kickback is the grabbing of the workpiece by the rotating
tool. The workpiece can be thrown at very high speed in the
direction of rotation. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
To reduce the possibility of injury from kickback:
Clamp the workpiece rmly to the table whenever possible.
Bufng or sanding wheels or drums should be contacted 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.
