BASIC OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To get the best results and minimize the likelihood of
personal injury, follow these instructions for operating
your drill press.
WARNING
For your own safety, always observe the SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS listed here and on pages 3, 4 & 5 of
the instruction manual.
YOUR PROTECTION
WARNING
To avoid being pulled into the power tool, do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry. Always tie
back long hair.
1. If any part of your drill press is missing,
malfunctioning, damaged or broken, stop operation
immediately until that part is properly repaired or
replaced.
2. Never place your fingers in a position where they
could contact the drill bit or other cutting tool. The
workpiece may unexpectedly shift, or your hand
could slip.
3. To avoid injury from parts thrown by the spring,
follow instructions exactly when adjusting the spring
tension of the quill.
4. To prevent the workpiece from being torn from your
hands, thrown, spun by the tool, or shattered,
always properly support your workpiece as follows:
a. Always position BACKUP MATERIAL (used
beneath workpiece ) so that it contacts the left
side of the column.
b. When using a drill press vise, always fasten it to
the table.
c. Never do any work freehand (hand-holding the
workpiece rather than supporting it on the table),
except when polishing.
d. Securely lock the head and support to the
column, the table arm to the support, and the
table to the table arm, before operating the drill
press.
e. Never move the head or the table while the tool
is running.
f. Before starting an operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the drill or other cutting tool does
not wobble or cause vibration.
g. If a workpiece overhangs the table so it will fall or
tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
h. Use fixtures for unusual operations to adequately
hold, guide, and position workpieces.
i. Use the SPINDLE SPEED recommended for the
specific operation and workpiece material. Check
the panel on the inside pulley cover or the chart
below for drilling speed information. For
accessories, refer to the instructions provided with
each accessory.
5. Never climb on the drill press table, it could break or
pull the entire drill press down on you.
6. Turn the motor switch "OFF", and put away the
switch key when leaving the drill press.
7. To avoid injury from thrown work or tool contact, do
not perform layout, assembly, or set up work on the
table while the cutting tool is rotating.
