Drill Press Safety Warnings and Precautions
1. Secure the Drill Press Base (B6) to the oor using Bolts (not supplied). The oor
must be level, smooth and capable of supporting the weight of the drill press and
workpieces.
2. Locate the Drill Press in an area where you walk around it unhampered.
3. Avoid kickback and grabbing by clamping the workpiece to the table, or use a vise that
is secured to the table. If the workpiece begins to spin, do not attempt to stop it with
your hands. Turn the motor OFF, and wait until it stops spinning before attempting to
remove it.
4. Avoid being caught and pulled into the spinning chuck. Do not wear gloves, long
sleeve shirts, ties, or jewelry. Long hair must be bundled behind the head.
VIBRATION HAZARD
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:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should rst 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 ngers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and n-
gers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different process-
es.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do
the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
