5. Always keep hands out of the path of the drill bit. Avoid
awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the drill bit.
6. Do not install or use any drill bit that exceeds 175mm
(7 inches) in length or extends more than 150mm
(6 inches) below the chuck jaws. They can suddenly
bend outwards or break.
7. Do not use wire wheels, router bits, shaper cutters, circle
(fly) cutters or rotary planers on this drill press.
8. When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is
fully supported at the table height.
9. Do not perform any operation freehand. Always hold the
workpiece firmly against the table so it will not rock or
twist. Use clamps or a vice for unstable workpieces.
10. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11. Whenever possible, position the workpiece to contact
the left side of the column; if it is too short or the table
is tilted, clamp solidly to the table.
12. If the workpiece overhangs the table such that it will
fall or tip if not held, clamp it to the table or provide
auxiliary support.
13. Set the drill press to a speed appropriate to the job.
14. Do not start the drill press while the drill bit is touching
the workpiece.
15. When using a drill press vice, always fasten it to the table.
16. Make sure all clamps and locks are firmly tightened
before drilling.
17. Securely lock the head and table support to the column,
and the table to the table support before operating your
drill press.
18. Never turn your drill press on before clearing the table of
all objects (tools, scraps of wood etc.)
19. Before starting the operation, jog the motor switch to
make sure the drill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
20. Let the spindle reach full speed before starting to drill. If
your drill press makes an unfamiliar noise or if it vibrated
excessively, stop immediately, turn the drill press off and
unplug it. Do not restart until the problem is corrected.
21. Do not perform layout assembly or setup work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
22. Do not exceed the rpm stated on the bit or accessory.
See the instructions that come with the accessory.
23. When drilling large diameter holes, clamp the workpiece
firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grab and spin
the workpiece at high speed. Do not use fly cutters or
multiple-part cutters, as they can come apart or become
unbalanced in use.
24. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the workpiece.
25. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn the
switch off and unplug the drill press before installing
or removing any accessory attachment or making any
adjustment.
CAUTION! Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
WARNING! For your own safety read instruction manual
before operating drill press. Wear eye protection, do not
wear gloves, necktie or loose clothing, clamp workpiece or
brace against column to prevent rotation, use recommended
speed for drill accessory and workpiece material.
