not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green 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.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that

Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still
keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

SAFETyOpERATIONMAINTENANcE SETUp
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Set the Table height and position so
that the drill travel range is sufficient
for the workpiece to be drilled.
6. Set the drilling depth so that the bit will not
contact the table - or align the table so that
the hole in its center is in line with the bit.
7. Make sure the work is securely clamped.
That is, held in a drill vise, or bolted to the table.
WARNING! Do not hold the workpiece with
your bare hands while drilling. Severe
personal serious injury may be caused if the
material is flung out of the operator’s hand.
8. IF THE MATERIAL IS IRREGULARLY SHAPED and
cannot be laid flat on the table, it should be securely
blocked and clamped. Any tilting, twisting or shifting
will result not only in a roughly drilled hole but also
increases the chances of damage to the drill.
9. FOR FLAT WORK, lay the piece on to a
wooden base and clamp it down firmly against
the table to prevent it from turning.
10. FOR SMALL MATERIALS that cannot be clamped
to the table, use a drill press vise. Make sure
the vise is clamped or bolted to the table.
11. WHEN DRILLING COMPLETELY THROUGH
WOOD, position a piece of scrap wood between the
material and the table to prevent splintering on the
underside of the material as the drill breaks through.
The scrap piece of wood must make contact with
the left side of the column. Securely clamp the
other end of the scrap wood to the table. Also, set
the depth of the drill so that the drill will not come
in contact with the table - or align the table so that
the hole in its center is in line with the drill bit.
General Operating Instructions
1. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the LED Lamp if extra light is needed.
3. Set workpiece on Table.
4. Turn on the Laser to mark where
the hole is to be drilled. Make minor
workpiece alignment adjustments.
5. Turn the Drill Press on.
6. Pull down on the Feed Handle and slowly
drill the hole into the workpiece.
7. Turn Drill Press off by flipping Power Switch down.
8. To lock Drill Press in the OFF position,
remove the safety key from Power Switch and
store key in a safe place until next use.
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy: If
the drill bit grabs and spins the workpiece, do not
attempt to stop the spinning with your hands. Step
back, and turn the drill press off. Wait for the spindle
to stop turning before dislodging the workpiece.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
