SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE DRILL PRESS
For your own safety, do not try to use your drill press or plug
it in until it is completely assembled and installed according to
the instrucitons, and until you have read and understood this
intstruction manual.
1. THIS DRILL PRESS is intended for use in dry
conditions, indoor use only.
2. WEAR EYE PROTECTION. USE a face or dust mask
along with safety goggles if drilling operation is dusty.
USE ear protectors, especially during extended periods
of operation.
3. DO NOT wear gloves, neckties, or loose clothing.
4. DO NOT try to drill material too small to be securely held.
5. ALWAYS keep hands out of the path of a 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) in length or extends 150mm (6) below the chuck
jaws. They can suddenly bend outward 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 vise for unstable workpieces.
10. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the
part of the workpiece to be drilled.
11. CLAMP THE WORKPIECE OR BRACE IT against the
left side of the column to prevent rotation. If it is too short
or the table is tilted, clamp it solidly to the table and use
the fence provided.
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. SECURE THE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
14. MAKE SURE all clamps and locks are firmly tightened
before drilling.
15. SECURELY LOCK THE HEAD and table support to the
column, and the table to the table support before
operating the drill press.
16. NEVER turn your drill press ON before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
17. BEFORE STARTING the operation, jog the motor switch
to make sure the frill bit does not wobble or vibrate.
18. LET THE SPINDLE REACH FULL SPEED before
starting to drill. If your drill press makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it vibrates excessively, stop immediately, turn
the drill press OFF and unplug. Do not restart the unit
until the problem is corrected.
19. DO NOT perform layout assembly or set up work on the
table while the drill press is in operation.
20. USE THE RECOMMENDED SPEED for any drill press
accessory and for different workpiece material. READ
THE INSTRUCTIONS that come with the accessory.
21. WHEN DRILLING large diameter holes, clamp the
workpiece firmly to the table. Otherwise, the bit may grab
and spin the workpiece at high speeds. DO NOT USE fly
cutters or multiple-part hold cutters, as they can come
apart or become unbalanced in use.
22. MAKE SURE the spindle has come to a complete stop
before touching the workpiece.
23. TO AVOID INJURY from accidental starting, always turn
the switch OFF and unplug the drill press before
installing or removing any accessory or attachment or
making any adjustment.
24. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
25.
USE ONLY THE SELF-EJECTING TYPE CHUCK KEY
as provided with the drill press.
26. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE when using the laser
guide.
27. ALWAYS ENSURE THE LASER BEAM IS AIMED AT A
SURFACE WITHOUT REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES.
Shiny reflective materials are not suitable for laser use.
