GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ig-
nite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a respira-
tory mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. The term “power tool”
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
8. Use clamps to secure your workpiece to a stable
surface. Holding a workpiece by hand or using your
body to support it may lead to loss of control.
9. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
3. Check with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely under-
stand the grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
4. Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that
accept the tool’s plug (INSERT CR). Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
CAUTION! In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you
are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
1. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electri-
cian.
2. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
1. Examine extension cord before use. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
2. Do not abuse extension cord. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on
plug. Disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
3. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than a 12-gauge wire and should be
protected with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in
the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

LASER LINE ON/OFF SWITCHES (FIG. 16)
The laser switch (Fig. 16- 1) is located on the left hand side of the
drill press.
1. Pull the tab located below the laser switch and lift up the laser
switch cover (Fig. 16 - 2).
2. Install two AA batteries into the battery slots and close the switch
cover.
POSITION THE TABLE AND WORKPIECE
Always place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood, etc.) on
the table underneath the workpiece. This will prevent splintering on
the underside of the workpiece as the drill bit breaks through. To
keep the material from spinning out of control, it must contact the
left side of the column, or be clamped (not included) to the table.
NOTE: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table,
use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must be clamped or
bolted to the table to avoid injury.
DRILLING GUIDELINES - DRILLING A HOLE
1. Mark where you want to drill the workpiece by using a center punch or a sharp nail. Turn ON the laser to mark
your drilling point.
2. Before turning the drill press ON, turn the feed handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up with the
mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3. Turn ON the drill press and pull down on the feed handles with the appropriate force needed to allow the drill bit
to drill the material.
NOTE: Feeding too slowly might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. Feeding too rapidly might stop the motor,
cause the belt to slip, force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice with scrap material to get the feel of
the machine before attempting to do any drilling operation.
18
OPERATION
WARNING! To prevent the workpiece and the backup material from slipping from your hand while drilling,
position the workpiece and backup material to the left side of the column. If the workpiece and the backup
material are not long enough to reach the column, clamp the workpiece and back material to the table. Failure to
do this could result in personal injury.

ADJUST THE DRILLING DEPTH (FIG. 17)
1. Loosen the depth scale knob and turn the depth scale ring to the
desired depth.
2. Lock the scale ring in place by tightening the depth knob. This
will stop the bit once it reaches a certain depth.
DRILLING SPEEDS
NOTE: View Drill Bit Size Recommendations on page 20 for general
guidelines.
There are a few important factors to keep in mind when
determining the best drilling speed:
• Material type
• Hole size
• Drill bit or cutter type
• Quality desired
19
OPERATION
Smaller drill bits require greater speed than larger drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than harder
materials. See page 19 for recommended speeds for particular materials.
DRILLING METAL
• Use metal-piercing twist drill bits.
• It is always necessary to lubricate the tip of the drill with oil to prevent overheating of the drill bit.
• All metal workpieces should be clamped down securely. Any tilting, twisting, or shifting causes a rough drill
hole, and increases the potential of drill bit breakage.
• Never hold a metal workpiece with your bare hands. The cutting edge of the drill bit may seize the workpiece
and throw it, causing serious injury.
• If the metal is flat, clamp a piece of wood under it to prevent turning. If it cannot be laid flat on the table, then
it should be blocked and clamped.
DRILLING WOOD
• Brad point bits are preferred. Metal piercing twist bits may be used on wood.
• Do not use auger bits. Auger bits turn so rapidly that they can lift the workpiece off of the table and whirl it
around.
• Always protect the drill bit by positioning the table so that the drill bit will enter the center hole when drilling
through the workpiece.
• To prevent splintering, feed the drill bit slowly right as the bit is about to cut through to the backside of the
workpiece.
• To reduce splintering and protect the point of the bit, use scrap wood as a backing or a base block under the
workpiece.

MECHANICAL VARIABLE SPEED (FIG. 18)
This is a mechanical variable speed drill press. To increase or
decrease the speed when operating, raise or lower the speed handle
(Fig. 18 - 1).
Use the following table to determine the recommended speed for the
drill size you are using and the type of material you are to drill. While
drilling, check the speed on the digital speed readout (Fig. 18 - 2)
located at the front of the drill press.
FEEDING THE DRILL BIT
• Pull down on the feed handles with only enough force to allow the drill bit to cut.
• Feeding too rapidly might stall motor, cause the belt to slip, damage the workpiece, or break the drill bit.
• Feeding too slowly will cause the drill bit to heat up and burn the workpiece.
