Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper acces-
sories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for align-
ment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of rota-
tion of the blade or cutter only.
20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.
4. Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece.
Back the bit out of deep cuts to cool and
clean the bit.
5. Never attempt to clean wood or metal cut-
tings from drill bits while the drill press is run-
ning.
6. Work should be secured in such a way so as
to avoid drilling into the table.
1. Never use a bit with a tapered shank or
square bit in a drill chuck.
2. Remove metal cuttings with a brush, never
by hand.
3. Never drill sheet metal unless it is securely
clamped to the table.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-
tion before plugging in.
